PAGE EIGHTY FOUR. Olympus City, Corporate Zone. Executive Recreation Level 8.
Salutations fellow revolutionaries! Nic here, taking over this week’s post.
Dave is away on one of the most important wargaming conventions in the US (if not the most important), the mighty ADEPTICON. Thus, occupied with many lectures and other miniature-related business, he couldn’t make one of his fine comments for the page you’re now contemplating. You get me instead…
Xander Thule is one of those characters I’ve loved and despised at the same time. Being a true villain, he is a ruthless, cold, calculating bastard, willing to go to any lengths to crush his enemies and preserve his status-quo.
However, in 2339, revenge catches up with you when you least expect it. And it could be disguised as a very pleasurable sexbot. One that a certain dangerous smuggler by the name of Dub imported; with the help of a mercenary called Hannah; at the bidding of a shady revolutionary called Veruca. Whom we see here disguised, finally delivering the object that will make Thule pay for the thousands of lives he wiped out on the Hesperus bombing.
As usual, Dave impresses us all with his eliptical narrative, that makes even the most tiny of details relevant in the long run. You can’t miss a single bit with this guy, my friends!
As far as musical pairings go, I’d have to choose Marilyn Manson’s New Model No.15 . And since Dave isn’t here to argue, that will be this week’s suggestion.
I hope you enjoyed this page and get ready for the grand finale of Book I!

hay i remember those bots
No commentary this week? Interesting…
I should have remembered those bots, but I didn’t until the final panel. When she didn’t want to stay and kill him, I figured she’d left explosives in the bot. But no, that wasn’t necessary.
the lack of comentary means they trust us to figure things out for our selves today, tonights musical selection is crazy train cuz yeah Mr. Thule is in for a one hell of a ride, I’d say Mr. roboto would have been a better fit but the robot is neither a man nor is it saving him.
You know I seem to recal a movie some time back that had sexbots that had this particular problem
Yes! I am sorry about the lack of commentary. I had to do it quick before leaving for a convention and I swear by the two moons that I wrote it, but the blog entry didn’t show up. I didn’t realize it until I was away from a computer for four days. Luckily, Nic logged in and wrote it up. Thanks, NRG.
Since Nic posted, his is the official weekly song pairing, though I was gonna go with ‘Love Hurts.’
Veruca is like my favorite “not main” character. She doesn’t take shizz from anyone. In case you’ve never read our Valerus Chronicles piece, this actually ties DIRECTLY into that.

Ah well…
Now there’s no one standing in the way of that large fleet of people who are most unpleasent.
Heck, they’ll use this as an excuse. And, honestly, there’s nothing like orbital bombardment on a dome city to ensure compliance.
