Heehee.  Oh no, no indeed; Jetbird & the Kid is set on a planet called Viral, which is the same one on which the Steampunk arc of the 'main' DiVerse plot takes place - this is actually a precursor to that, to some extent.  (But you haven't read any of that yet.)  Salon DYAL stories, for now at least, take place on Slate, which is a completely separate planet.  And Anakh's world is somewhere else entirely - and in the midst of all this, the human race /still/ originated on Terra, which is of course none of these three places previously mentioned.

DIVA is, ah, kind of expansive.  :)
