In the [[Apocalyptic Daria]] universe, Paula was responsible for saving the lives of Amy, her family, and several of their close friends by deploying a DELPHI [[Gridrunner]] Mark II aircraft to Tennyson University and extracting them (and others) before Washington, D.C. was destroyed by a nuclear weapon. This is shown in the as-yet unreleased tie-in fic ''Twilight Friday''.

In '[[The Hope Mission]]',it is revealed that this Paula was promoted to the rank of a four-star general, and that Amy holds an unspecified position on her staff.
