Gyndal Q

President of the United Federation of Female Freedom Fighters Ophelia Arm Local 192 from Cycle 136-149 AE, Union Leader from 150-170 AE. She was responsible for the mission that led to the reinstatement of Prime Minister Glorianna of Phoebus, thus resolving the “Phoebus Incident” of 156. Gyndal Q lost her life in the People’s Municipal Museum of Hon Ober during an exhibition entitled Onward to the Stars: 70 Centicycles of Great Feminist Art. Q had just exited the macrame wing of the museum, after viewing an installation of vulva-shaped knot-work hangings, and was making her way to the sculpture garden, when she was mistaken for one of the oversized puppets in a piece of performance art depicting valiant asteroid miners collectively working for the common good by one Syd Tapioka, member of the Guernican Art Squad. Needless to say, Syd was not a fan of puppets. She was, however, quite fond of heat-stealing nanoswarms. At the ensuing trial, Tapioka pleaded “guilty only of mistaking a person for subpar art.”
