he looks like he is feeling sick or something
Just woke up.
Interesting. Ace knows more about the mermaids than he lets on.
Ace has obviously just woken up that’s why he looks a bit funny. Iola kirké is the orions contact ton earth and Ace contacted her.
Remember, way back when, Peach was planning a beach party for her crew, before things started to go wrong.

…& maybe not the only one!
In this page:

…we see Farah holding a shopping-bag from [CartMart], which implies that either the Australian Mermaid Iola is shopping at a store-chain that’s based on the opposite side of the Pacific Ocean (maybe for the purpose of “money-laundering”), or else Rosa herself has had dealings with either Iola, or else directly with the Orions!
That one was already settled in the before reconstruction comments, shopping trips made during the Rose City Comicon. Didn’t even need to apply makeup, just say you were on your way to a cosplay at the con.
@[Opus the Poet]:
I’m unclear on that point, but only because Sky had mentioned to Gabe that the financial “Powers That Be” were enforcing some sort of trade-embargo, presumably to prevent Orion wealth from destabilizing their control over Earth’s resources.
What’s unclear to me is WHEN this embargo started.
If it didn’t start until AFTER the Rose City ComiCon that you mentioned, then it’s a moot point.
