Hmmm ... Seems to me that Agatha had what amounted to a second breakthrough when she drank the Dyne water. If she hadn't had to save Gil and Tarvek -- and if she hadn't exploded -- might she have achieved the same state as Albia?

On the other hand, we know she won't do that. "Agatha Heterodyne and the Electric Coffin" is set after the events of Girl Genius, and Agatha isn't a goddess.

(Another Hmmm ... What happens to fish that swim in Dyne water?)

Looks worryingly like a biohazard symbol

Now we're getting into some interesting history, more or less following some speculations here a while ago. There were god-queens a long, long time ago, some of whom corresponded to particular goddesses in our mythologies. There may have been a piece of knowledge that let them do this. Did it work only with women, or were they all god-queens because of the way the information was shared? How was information shared back then between regions as distant as Babylonia and the British Isles?

This isn't the kind of story where I expect a fully fleshed-out answer addressing all the difficulties, but I hope there's enough of an explanation to make sense.

What land are they flying over, where they can see the moon and stars, albeit through weird illusions? Are they no longer in Britain, under the waves?

I pity the poor werewolves. Of course, it's possible that the effect is an intentional trap for (or defense from) werewolves.

It might also be an indication that time is very messed up in that area.

That looks like a Venn diagram. But of what?

I think I can safely say this is the biggest surprise in ... years of real time, possibly since the time jump.
