[Tawfek · Rating 4 out of 5]

Only downside really is that i would have loved to know what the aliens where saying because probably all their talk is off prophecies since they seem to know everything before it happens
Nika returns to her time line and they hold her in quarantine and they keep her captive not allowed to leave while they go dispose of the aliens to get the flower.
William is telling his brother he saw a woman and his brother doesn't believe him and thinks he is delusional and he makes the door explode using dynamite while William digest the flower.
Nika manages to escape her cell and makes her way to the aliens trying to warn them in which they tell her that its too late and that she has to go to the temple and that they are only ushers they cant enter the temple themselves.
She goes in the same time William's brother go in and each of them go to the other time line.
I almost forgot to mention something where the hell did her hair go probably it fell off from that quarantine chamber they put her on but they never explained it.

More action but less character development. Issue three gives us the inevitable escape from a shallow minded authority that we have seen so many times. There's also the "I do not believe any BS thing you say" cliche. Despite these, Trillium still manages to captivate my heart. There is some sense of beautiful sadness and desperation that I consistently feel in this comics.

"TELEMTRY"

Well, finally the series gets into gear. Nika wakes up in a quarantine bath, the people at Earthlab don't buy what she's saying about William and the aliens. Particularly Pohl, her supervisor. Pohl prefers to invade the Atabithian and take the trillium plant from them by force.
