TRANSIENTS is about two angel spies, Jane Sunset and Werther Fortune.  They are on a mission to repair the Halonic Engine.  The Halonic Engine is the power source that gave all the angels their halos.  Demonic forces damaged the Engine, and now, without their halos, angels are diminished and damaged themselves.  They slip uncontrolled through Time and Space.  They're 'transients'
- that's where the title comes from.
Jane and Werther have been broadcast to All Possible Times and All Possible Worlds.  On every world they come to, a single piece of the Halonic Engine is hidden.  Their job is to activate it.  But, on every world they come to, demon agents are waiting to stop them.

Angel and spy.  Werther's easy-going nature belies his
dedication to the Project and his talent for espionage.
He's resourceful and able to adapt to nearly any environment, but he does have some difficulty on worlds without coffee.
Werther's devotion to the task of repairing the Halonic Engine is only rivaled by his devotion to his partner, Jane Sunset.
Angel and spy.  Jane's specialties are codes and problem-solving.
Playful and upbeat, Jane is the picture of cool efficiency when the chips are down.  From cracking the secret code hidden in a comic book series, to escaping a city filled with sleeping monsters, Jane Sunset is a spy you want on your side.
Phil is the commander of an alien task force allied with the angels.  Mobile in both Space and Time, Phil often prepares a mission for Jane and Werther before they arrive.  He also provides invaluable back-up as they carry it out.
Phil's approach is usually more cautious than Jane and Werther's, but together they are a remarkably effective team.  And beneath Phil's conservative demeanor is the soul of an interplanetary hipster.
Infinity Ramm is the leader of a mysterious musical group called "Guilt & The Innocents."  A year ago, you could only find their CDs in obscure record stores on the Lower East Side.  Now, they're the stars of the biggest concert event in history.
Infinity doesn't know that their success has been engineered by the sinister FIELDS Corporation.  Or that she's hosting an off-world demon hitwoman while she sleeps.
ARE YOU READING 'TRANSIENTS' IN FLAG LIVE! ?
If so, I'm glad you're here at the website.  TRANSIENTS is a detailed story with lots of characters, and there isn't room for everything in the paper.  I'm going to use this website to expand on the weekly strip, and give background information on the whole series.  You'll also be able to come here to read any of the strips you missed, and catch up if you came in late.
The first episodes in Flagstaff LIVE! show the gradual activation of two angel secret agents -- Jane Sunset and Werther Fortune.  When the story begins, they're two artists living at opposite ends of the country.  They have no idea that they're top-notch spies, about to go on a mission of cosmic proportions!
In the first strips, you'll see the unawakened Jane and Werther approached by a succession of strange characters.  They're also angels, employed by the Agency to protect Jane and Werther, and give them certain tools that they'll need once they go to work.
