Maida’s school is Catholic, but the students aren’t necessarily. I taught at a Catholic school in London for a day once where the majority of the students were Muslim. I don’t actually know how common a thing that is in 2016. But Phobos and Deimos isn’t set in 2016, so.

Panel 2: Nat: "Mars, yeh? That's what I fought."
Panel 3: Thurga tugs at Maida's headscarf. Nat: "What religion are they on Mars, Thurga?" Thurga: "Mmm, some Martian religion, I fink."
Panel 4: Thurga pulls Maida's scarf off. Thurga: "Woops!" Maida: "Oi!" Nat: "Ha ha!" A teacher in red sunglasses notices them.
