[[File:Nula and Gwenna.png|thumb|right|315px|Nula socialises with [[Gwenna (Reality Z-25 31-H)|Gwenna]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Danger, the Diamond, and the Dowager (comic story)|The Danger, the Diamond, and the Dowager]]'')]]Three decades later, however, she returned to Buranda; [[Solomon's Diamond]] had some time before come up for auction at [[Boothby's]], and she had made up her mind to return it to the [[Koravi Temple]]. She was followed to [[Buranda Pass]] by mercenary [[Mitchell]], now working for [[the Skull (Reality Z-25 31-H)|the Skull]], who believed that she must have returned to Buranda in order to use the diamond to find a mysterious “treasure”. Oblivious to these shadowy machinations, she reunited with Smedley, who was still silently carrying a torch for her, and was entertained to meet her “replacements” as the jungle's European-descended “protectors”, [[Kaza (Reality Z-25 31-H)|Kaza]] and [[Gwenna (Reality Z-25 31-H)|Gwenna]]. The following night, feeling the heat getting to her, she decided to go for a midnight swim in the river, only to realise that she was being spied upon by Mitchell. She knocked him out easily and took his rifle for herself, but returned to the village too late, finding it already aflame as the Skull's men began their raid.

[[File:Kiana, Nula and Wimberley abord the airship.png|thumb| | [[File:Kiana, Nula and Wimberley abord the airship.png|thumb|left|300px|Nula, [[Kiana]] and [[George Wimberley]] are taken prisoners aboard one of [[the Skull (Reality Z-25 31-H)|the Skull]]'s airships. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Nula! Naked and Alone! (comic story)|Nula! Naked and Alone!]]'')]]She soon crossed paths with a band of survivors led by [[Kiana]] and [[George Wimberley]], who were trying to get to the [[Koravi village]]. She revealed to them that she had known that the Skull's men were after the Diamond, which was really the legendary [[Philosopher's Stone (Reality Z-25 31-H)|Philosopher's Stone]], but thought she had managed to “lose them” in [[Istanbul]]. Shortly after capturing the unarmed [[Mitchell]], however, the group were ambushed from above by the Skull's airship brigade, led by [[Professor Morag]]. Taking them to the “old [[Kaitaran Temple]]” where they'd made their lair, the Professor had Nula taken to the laboratory even as the others were placed in holding cells, with him explaining that he was curious to see if her decades of exposure to the Stone had had any effects on Nula. He added that the Skull was keen to see if she could be used for “the secondary project”. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Nula! Naked and Alone! (comic story)|Nula! Naked and Alone!]]'') | ||
