(Sink City, Illinois, Monday)
At the city’s third precinct, Officer Mangel prepares for another week on the beat. This one is different, however, as it’s his last. He looks forward to spending the rest of his life rotting in a lounger, and he feels he’s earned it. He heads off on his beat, and soon comes across a drug deal going down in an alleyway. The dealer recognizes him as he approaches. Mangel has told him about dealing in the area. Did he think he was going soft in his last week? He smashes the dealer with his night stick and screams, “I said I still wanted my cut!”
Later, he is on a quiet street when a man runs towards him sporting two black eyes. He says he can hardly see, and asks Mangel if he is a police officer. Mangel doesn’t really care, but replies that he is. The man explains that he’s been mugged. The culprits got his wallet, but thank God he keeps his billfold in his pants pocket. It’s safer that way. Mangel, never one to miss out on an opportunity, places his hand on the man’s shoulder and tells him that was clever of him. He ushers him into another alley, and reaches for his nightstick as they walk.
Mangel continues on his way, and saunters toward a building with a guy standing in front of it. A sign on the wall says that there are three women residing there; Molly, a dancer, Eve, a schoolteacher and an actress named Anna. Mangel tells the guy he’s there to see the girls, and he allows the officer inside. The man then glances around before entering the house also and shutting the door. Eve, Anna and Molly are clearly hookers, and Eve knows it’s Mangel’s last week on the job, so why doesn’t he go find someone to terrorize at the old folks’ home? They’re done.
Mangel replies that they’re done when he says so. Like hell, she replies. He just used up his one last chance. Suddenly, Mangel is grabbed from behind by the pimp, who informs him that he’s been waiting to do him like a chicken for the pot since he met him. Mangel quickly stamps on the pimp’s foot and batters him with the nightstick twice. The pimp falls to the ground after crashing through the banister. “Two things, “ grunts Mangel, his face a picture of fury, “One: I want my **** cut, now! Two: clean his blood and snot off my boot.”
Later still, Mangel wanders past some dumpsters and hears something scratching around behind one of them. He bends down and sees something moving. Whatever it is, he figures he can sell it. He pulls out a small creature that resembles a rodent/cat crossbreed, only with sharp enlarged claws. As Mangel holds it before him, wondering what it is, the creature’s face opens up, revealing a green-tinged interior resembling a brain with a multitude of needles sticking out of it. Without hesitation, it lunges at Mangel, burrowing into his chest in moments. He tries to scream, before dropping to the ground, unconscious.
(H.A.T.E.’s flying headquarters - the Aeromarine)
Behind a closed door that leads to Dirk Anger’s private office, the director of H.A.T.E. sits on top of a massive revolver in front of the hammer. His seat faces the open end of the barrel, which is u-turned to face him. His right hand grips a lever that is connected by rope to the trigger. An agent calls him on his headset. It’s about the Nextwave Squad.
Anger replies that this isn’t a good time, but the agent explains that they’ve been spotted in the skies over western Illinois. If they’re hunting whoever received the seed, they have a viable window to intercept and capture them. Dirk pulls back hard on the lever and the hammer clicks into place. The gun fails to go off. “I’m so alone,” Dirk tells himself.
(Wednesday)
Tabitha Smith is wandering through town, chatting vacuously on her cell phone. She namedrops Jessica and Paris as she checks out the local talent. Unseen by her, a white car filled with the Beyond Corporation’s robots follows her. As she relates the story of a guy who tried picking her up wearing a really bad super hero costume, she notices Officer Mangel crouching beside a car, eating it. She tells her friend she’ll call them back.
Mangel spots her, grabs the car in his fists and hurls it towards her. Tabitha points at the car and says, “Tick tick tick Boom!” A bolt of red hot plasma shoots towards the flying car and explodes it in mid air. Suddenly, the car carrying the robots screeches round the corner. The driver utters, “Faster Pussycat Kill Kill Kill,” as he drives, and his fellow robots repeat the word kill. Tabitha sees them coming and unleashes several time bombs around the vehicle. She crosses her arms. “I said Boom!” she says as the car explodes in a similar fashion to the last one. Only then does she realize that her target has vanished.
She calls Monica and informs her that he’s escaped and that Human Resources are already on the scene. Monica asks how she knew it was their target. Tabitha replies by asking, how did she know? “He was twelve-feet tall and eating a car.” Out of nowhere, a bullet shatters her cell phone, cutting her hand and splattering her cheek with blood. She looks up to see over a dozen Human Resource robots abseiling down the walls toward her. This isn’t good.
On board the Shockwave Rider, the Nextwave Squad are already leaping into action, exiting the craft through the red fluid that separates interior from exterior. Tabitha is on the run as bullets ping all around her. Monica hurtles earthwards and transforms into energy as she reaches the buildings. She orders everyone on the deck, before expanding a circle of energy around her, cutting some of the robots abseiling the walls in two, and slicing the ropes of several others. Aaron yanks the robot’s heads off as they fall, whilst the Captain punches clean through one of the robots. His fist turns green due to the gunk on the inside, and he manages to get the robot stuck on his arm. He wonders where Ellie has got to.
High above, Elsa Bloodstone drops from the Shockwave Rider inside a vehicle. Three robots peer upwards ominously as the car lands of them, and, in a display of surprisingly good suspension, bounces away. Elsa is loving it. “Death Race 2000. I am President Frankenstein!” Tabitha wonders where the English **** is going. Monica figures she’s off to hunt the guy Tabitha lost. They figure a twelve-foot guy won’t be hard to spot, especially for the big-deal monster-hunting English ****.
Elsa tears through Sink City, causing vehicles to swerve and crash all around her. She feels this ‘colonial scum’ should drive on the proper side of the road. As she races down the street causing chaos all around her, she wonders what she would do if she were some poor sod who had been accidentally implanted with something called the Ultra Samurai Seed that the Beyond Crop Marketing Plan didn’t fully explain. She’d stay off the roads, wouldn’t she? She’d also be hungry, needing to feed the change.
Cut to a sign on a fence that reads ‘Sink City Very Small School with Lovely Children Inside.’ Officer Mangel approaches the school, his clothes tattered and torn. “Munchies,” he mutters as he sets his heart on devouring those inside. Behind him, Elsa races towards him, but turns to look behind her as bullets slice through her car. She grabs a shotgun and leaps from the moving vehicle, landing on the road, which allows the pursuing robots to speed straight past her. The car crashes into Officer Mangel, destroying it in the process. The gas tank starts to leak, and Elsa fires at the gasoline pouring from it. A massive explosion destroys the car and the fence, and Elsa turns her attention to the robots. “You’re going home in the back of an ambulance,” she warns.
Before she can act, she hears groans coming from inside the wreckage. She hoped Officer Mangel would have had the decency to stay dead after being killed with a motorcar. The robots mock her. “He will peel you with his robot bits,” one remarks, as Mangel stands before her, his body now transformed by the seed into that of a cyborg.

(Sink City, Illinois, Monday)
A small Unusual Weapon of Mass Destruction called the Ultra Samurai Seed has taken a hold of corrupt police officer Mac Mangel. Transformed into a cyborg, he is on a rampage through Sink City, and it’s up to Nextwave to put an end to this nonsense. Mangel approaches a school. He is hungry, needing to feed the parasite inside him, and small children are definitely on his menu. Ellie Bloodstone is on the scene and, having just run Mangel over in her Jeep and then shot its gas tank to explode its fuel on top of him, she figured he’d be finished by now. She’s wrong.
As Mangel, now much larger than his normal human form, charges at Ellie, the Captain flies in and hurls Mangel across the city. He lands in a scrap yard, but is pretty much unfazed by the experience. As he recovers, four robots from the Beyond Corporation appear on the scene and open fire on Ellie. As bullets whiz past her head, she uses her shotgun to blow them and their motorcycles up. She uses a modified flare round. Ever since she discovered the robots were half-broccoli, she’s wanted to know if they burned or not.
She asks the Captain where their target is. He points a few blocks over and Ellie flips. He left him there? The Captain figures that he landed in a bunch of cars at like three hundred miles an hour. He’s not getting up. Ellie knows differently and asks, “How stupid are you?”
(flashback - the origin of the Captain)
Two small green aliens wander through the streets of Brooklyn. It’s dark and the place looks deserted. They are Spa-Fon and Squa-Tront. They have walked across this hellish landscape and found no one. Surely there must be one person to whom they can gift the Messianic Siddha-Complex; one person they can grant great powers to so they can rescue their fellows from this terrible environment. Their prayers are answered by the appearance of a drunk man. He’s singing a Sex Pistols song, staggering along the street, bottle in hand. “A fine young specimen,” remarks Squa-Tront.
They approach the young man and inform him that they come bearing the gift of super-human abilities beyond his mortal ken. Pretty much everything is beyond the man’s mortal ken at this point, and he believes them to be leprechauns. They offer him magical powers with which to make this nightmarish land of ‘Brooklyn’ a better place. He asks where this magic is. One of the aliens produces the heartstar of the space between galaxies and thrusts it inside the man’s chest. It fuses with his body, leaving a star-shaped hole in his T-shirt. He is told that he is now empowered, and should go forth and do great things.
The guy thought it might have been something he could sell, but it’s actually just ****. One of the aliens tells him they have granted him mightiness and glory. The guy responds by smacking him over the head with his bottle and laying the other out with a punch to the face. He scratches his head. He thought that when you hit leprechauns on the head they turned into gold coins. What a rip! He wonders if they have credit cards on them, but as he leans down to check, he throws up all over them. Bending over was a baaad move.
(present)
“I’m not stupid,” the Captain replies. Mangel reappears, now having transformed into something quite different. The uniform is gone, and he has taken on the look of a Transformer. He looms large over the buildings, pointing at the Captain and Elsa Bloodstone. “You’re all under arrest,” he booms. The Captain accepts his stupidity, and flies off to fix his mistake. He rockets towards Mangel, but the giant pulls out a revolver from a cavity in his torso and aims it at the Captain. He doesn’t take the threat seriously, and inadvertently flies straight into the chamber. Mangel then aims the gun down at the road and pulls the trigger.
The bullet is several times larger than the Captain himself, and it smashes through the concrete, straight into the sewer. The Captain lands in the stinking river of pollution underneath it. He tries to lift it off him but fails. He decides to lie there. English girl, Avengers mom, Z-list celebrity blonde and clanky can deal with this one. And she said he was stupid. He suddenly realizes that the bullet is ticking. It then blows, causing a massive explosion that forces flame into the street above, catching Elsa unawares.
Grates are shot into the air, and Monica is hit by one of them with great force. Tabitha kicks her to try and wake her up, but she’s totally unconscious. She tries to tell Monica that Captain America just called to invite her back to the Avengers, but still there’s no response. “She must be unconscious,” remarks Tabitha.
Meanwhile, Mangel starts blasting randomly, which causes chaos on the streets. Tabitha wonders what on Earth is going on. Mangel wasn’t this big before. She asks Aaron if he can look inside him. Aaron extends a telescopic eye and notices that there’s something inside him. The thing is building around him. Tabitha remembers that Monica called it the Ultra Samurai Seed. Aaron adds that it’s what the marketing plan called it. What if the Beyond Corporation released something into the wild… a parasite that made its host turn into a giant robot warrior, using whatever metal was lying around?
Tabitha yanks the telescopic eye from Aaron’s socket, much to his displeasure, and takes a look. She realizes what she must do and hands Aaron his eye back. He asks where she’s going, and she tells him that she’s going to kill herself a giant robot. “Killing robots is sick,” replies Aaron, understandably. P>
Mangel continues to parade through town, scattering innocent bystanders and crushing their vehicles under foot. “I am the law,” he bellows. “Give me your wallets.” Old habits die hard. Tabitha forces her way through the crowd and faces Mangel. He towers over her tiny form and aims his pistol right at her. Mangel laughs, but he doesn’t count on Tabitha’s power level. She creates a super hot burst of energy and hits him square on the chest with it. Mangel teeters and small explosions tear the mechanical body apart. As the armor falls away, it leaves Mangel’s human form behind, and this is tossed to the ground in another explosion.
As he lies on the ground, a hole in his stomach opens up and out crawls the Ultra Samurai Seed. Tabitha bends a little to look at it. “Awwww. Cuuuute,” she smiles, before frying the creature where it sits. She then turns to Mangel, now free of his parasitic host. He is battered and bruised, and he pulls his badge out as he tries to stand. Tabitha realizes he’s a cop. She hates cops.
She kicks him in the stomach hard, and tells him that this is because cops keep arresting her, for stealing, as if stealing is a crime? Aaron arrives and asks what’s going on. “He’s a cop, Aaron!” she replies. Aaron joins in, slamming his boot into Mangel’s stomach. He finds cops the most annoying of fleshy ones.
As they continue to beat on Mangel, Monica, Elsa and an almost-naked Captain approach them. Monica asks what the hell they’re doing. Tabitha nonchalantly replies that they’re beating up a cop. Monica is horrified and orders them away from him. She reminds them that they do not beat up police officers, and blames Aaron. He tries to explain but she orders them to go fetch the Shockwave Rider down.
She asks Mangel if he’s alright, but he cannot reply. Blood pours from his mouth as he struggles to move. A voice from nearby informs Monica that he’ll be fine. Walking towards them are the three prostitutes and the pimp that Mangel had a run in with earlier, and the drug dealer he beat up. Eve tells Monica that they’ll look after him, and the dealer adds that they’re his friends.
Monica smiles. Good cops can always rely on the community. Her dad used to say that it takes special people to understand that police officers are the servants of the society. He’ll be fine with them. Mangel is petrified, and grabs Monica’s coat as she walks away. He begs her to stay, but she is on her way. The pimp pulls out a pistol and informs Mangel that he’ll be fine with them. Now, what does he want to be first, he asks; their old lady of their restroom? “Or do you just wanna die?” asks Eve.
Another job well done. Monica asks the almost-naked Captain what happened to him. He tells her that he got shot out of a gun by an explosive bullet. She’s tempted to make him walk around in this state all the time. “Because I’m so hot?” he replies, flashing a winning smile. “Because you look so damn stupid,” replies Monica. The Captain asks why everyone thinks he’s stupid. Space aliens thought he was cool once. Monica comes back with the reminder that some scientist guy thought Aaron would be useful. As Aaron whisks Tabitha and Elsa into the Shockwave Rider through the red gunk, Monica turns away from the Captain. “Did you hear gunshots?” she asks.

Untitled
(the Aeromarine)
On board the headquarters of the organization known as H.A.T.E (Highest Anti-Terrorism Effort), General Dirk Anger has his eyes staring firmly at the contents of a toilet bowl. His assistant enters the bathroom and asks what he’s doing. He replies that he’s purging. Dirk hasn’t been the same since the Nextwave special squadron went rogue. He tells his assistant that he’s engaged in important directorial anti-terrorist business… but really he’s hurling.
He asks what she wants. She nervously informs him that she has a report from long-term strategy. The Nextwave squad is following the Beyond Corporation’s Marketing Plan very closely, in their attempts to sabotage their weapons testing.
The Beyond Corporation is H.A.T.E.’s armorer and benefactor. They used to be a terrorist cell called S.I.L.E.N.T. It’s all a scam to blow up large chunks of America with exotic weaponry. The Nextwave squad found out and then discovered that Dirk Anger didn’t care. They are on a mission to put this exotic weaponry, known as Unusual Weapons of Mass Destruction, out of business.
His assistant adds that they appear to be en route to one of Beyond’s War Gardens. Dirk asks which one, and is told that it’s number six: Wyoming. They’re some eight hours away. Dirk asks, assuming they open up all engines to a hundred percent, for her to compute their e.t.a. She reckons it’ll be a hair under seven hours. He asks her to give the orders now. They can be waiting for them this time. He flushes, and the Aeromarine rockets towards Wyoming, burning hapless birds as it rockets through the sky.
(the Shockwave Rider)
Nextwave’s transport, stolen from H.A.T.E., flies over a desert region carrying the five members of Nextwave. It comes to a long fence, behind which are square miles of territory belonging to Beyond Corporation. Monica informs them that they call it a War Garden. God only knows what that means, but it sounds like it’s worth blowing up. Aaron Stack is piloting the Rider, and sees with his own robotic eyes the scale of the problem. Monica asks him to park their craft, and he does so amidst rows and rows of plant life.
They exit the craft and take a look around. The plants are actually budding Human Resource Operatives. Beyond is growing an army like crops. Tabitha finds it amazing that they can actually grow plants into things that can think and react and try to kill them. She also finds it really sad. Even the Captain finds it a tad uncomfortable. He wonders what they should do. Elsa smacks her staff against her palm and a shovel appears at the end. She thinks they should dig for victory, and she’s serious. She forces the shovel into one of the plant stems, and it collapses, releasing a green mist that Monica reckons stinks like her mom’s cooking.
Monica figures that the more of these things they can uproot, the fewer there are to try and cap them next time they do a gig. “Slash and burn, people.” Tabitha is cut out for a task like this, and uses her power like a flamethrower, working her way through the plants. “I’m sorry broccoli murder dudes. You just grow up to be, like, too harsh, you know?” Elsa tells her she swears to god that nowhere on Earth do people talk like her. Monica calls for Aaron to do some work. He asks sarcastically if he should do her laundry, too. “You mean you don’t?” she replies.
Aaron thinks of himself as a superior robot intellect, but Monica tells him he’s ****. He’s the **** robot she ever heard of. The Captain agrees. He is a bit ****. Aaron becomes agitated, prodding the Captain in his chest with his finger. He reminds him that he was taken into space by the Celestials because he’s so **** great. “Space gods, interstellar travel, everything.” The Captain asks why he returned.
(flashback)
Aaron is standing among a semi-circle of gigantic Celestials. Arishem the Judge is at its center. He tells Aaron that he has traveled with them for three hundred and sixty cycles by his reckoning of time. Now there is something they have to tell him. “You are total ****.” Aaron is surprised by this, but Arishem adds that he really is a ****. They’ve taken a year of him, and they’re taking him back to the trashcan he calls a planet and dumping him there. Aaron turns away, upset, but Arishem says this kind of thing is exactly the kind of **** they’re talking about. Aaron asks them not to look. He doesn’t want them to believe that… even a robot can cry. Arishem is unmoved. “See what we mean? Complete and utter ****.” He makes the loser sign with his right thumb and forefinger as Aaron departs.
(present)
Aaron lies and tells them he decides he could do more among the fleshy ones. Monica replies that she’ll slap him if he keeps calling them fleshy ones. The Captain lifts an arm to keep the sun from his eyes and informs the others that he thinks they may have a problem. He adds that his generic set of super hero abilities includes a broader scale of vision. There’s something big out there, and pretty heavily electrified. In the sky, forks of lightning appear from nowhere, and the Aeromarine uncloaks itself. “Oh, ****,” says Monica.
On board the craft, Dirk Anger is at the wheel. It looks like the wheel of an old ship – in stark contrast to the rest of the bridge, which looks like a set from Star Trek. An assistant informs him that they’re deactivating the invisibility cloud. All stations report Condition Stomp-Circle readiness. “Moo hoo ha ha,” replies the insane general. He orders the Armageddon Horn deployed, and a large horn promptly appears from underneath the ship like a proboscis. Monica doesn’t know what it is, or does, but calls for her team to scatter. The horn emits an electrical discharge that tears up the ground as Nextwave run in all directions through the fields of broccoli people.
The Shockwave is hit, and as a result it crash lands into the field. Chewing his cigar and grinning, Dirk Anger orders the release of the Drop Bears. A couple of guys in the back empty small Koalas out of the back of the Aeromarine. One comments that it doesn’t seem right, and his colleague lets out a sob as the furry critters drop towards the ground.
Down below, Nextwave pick themselves up. Tabitha looks up and sees the bears coming towards them. “Awwww. Widdle cuddly bears.” Elsa thinks Dirk’s lost it. He chucks teddy bears out of his stupid flying boat and they’re expected to cry themselves into submission? Monica realizes they could be more dangerous than they look, and she orders Aaron to go to combat status. She asks Ellie if she’s armed. She replies that she’s got two Uzis and a shovel. It means she can shoot things and bury them afterwards. Tabitha continues watching the bears drop, and once they’re within distance, she can see their mouths open wide bearing two rows of sharp teeth. “Widdle cuddly bears… of death!” she screams.
The bears attack Nextwave by chomping on them. Only Aaron is unfazed as the bear’s teeth shatter on his metallic frame. Monica changes into her photon form to zap some of them, and one of Dirk’s assistants informs him that she’s in the air. He gives the order to drop the Assault Pterosuit Flock. The flock’s leader orders them to start chewing on their Lizard Boom Sticks as they leap from the Aeromarine. They are grown men dressed as yellow pterodactyls. Monica sees them and thinks that they didn’t have to deal with this kind of thing in the Avengers.
(flashback)
Monica, Captain America, Iron Man and Thor look up to see their assailants. Monica blurts out that it’s the Gamma-Activated Bull Men from Beyond the Nineteenth Perimeter… and they’re naked. “Cover your eyes,” replies Cap, “Go back to Avengers Mansion and make me dinner.”
(present)
The memory doesn’t sit well with Monica. The flock swarms around her and fire something at her. She converts to her photon form to evade them, but one of the flock informs her that they’re not bullets. They’re quantum-tunnel drill bits. They’re everywhere and nowhere, existing in all states at once. They can even kill someone who’s converted their mass to photons. “Schrödinger’s death,” adds another. Meanwhile, the Captain rips a koala off Tabitha’s back. He hates teddy bears.
(flashback)
The Captain, as a young boy, goes to his room to look for his special bear. Inside, he finds his mother sitting on the bed, shining a torch at the bear, which has been hanged from the ceiling with a noose.
(present)
The Captain hurls the bear right over the nearby hill, and he asks Aaron to make himself useful. He converts his fingers into Swiss Army knife-like objects as Elsa continues to use her physical strength against the koalas. She then unleashes a volley of bullets from her Uzi, feeling just a pang of guilt for shooting the cute little things. Aaron cuts more bears from Tabitha, and the Captain notices that Monica is in trouble. He is about to give her some air support when he sees yet another form of attack from the Aeromarine.
A bullet shaped object drops into the field and opens up, throwing sharp objects in all directions. From inside, a squad of robots steps out, each wielding a sword. On board the craft, Dirk Anger is delighted, literally crying green gunk with excitement, as his plans come together. Samurai Batch 23 move in on Nextwave. Elsa reckons they beat her guns, so it’s now just her and a shovel. Tabitha asks Aaron to try and stop the Aeromarine from chucking this junk at them. She and Elsa will take care of the robots. Elsa asks if she’s ready for this. Tabitha replies that she used to do business with Cable and X-Force.
(flashback)
Cable is holding a really big gun amidst a scene of devastation. “Tabitha, quickly! To me my x-bait!” he calls. He needs help lifting his gun due to an imminent techno-organic prolapse.
(present)
Tabitha reckons she’s handled worse things than robots with big swords. She summons a plasma bomb and prepares to fire. Monica uses an infrared stab to take out a pterosuited soldier, but is caught in the shoulder with one of the quantum drill bits. She screams in agony. At the wheel of the Aeromarine, Dirk Anger is delighted at having got first blood. He mocks Nextwave for laughing at him when they should have been begging him not to kill them.

Untitled
Dirk Anger’s assault on Nextwave continues unabated. Samurai Batch 23 surrounds Elsa and Tabitha, and Elsa readies her shovel in preparation. “I make it six each,” she remarks, as she stands with her back to Tabitha’s. Tabitha asks her not to try and impress her with her English counting. Elsa knows that she grew up in a trailer park. “Let’s just kill’ em.”
Elsa uses her strength and agility to leap into action, whilst Tabitha attacks with her plasma bolts and time bombs. Elsa shows her love of martial arts movies by copying moves seen in the movies to good effect, decapitating her assailants in a variety of styles.
Meanwhile, Monica Rambeau, suffering from having a quantum drill bit pierce her shoulder, is also surrounded, but this time it’s by the Assault Pterosuit Flock. She’s furious now, and figures that she’s tried to do the whole non-lethal thing, but now she’s been shot she doesn’t much care. “Ultraviolet nova,” she says, and the air around her extends in a blast of ultraviolet energy, setting the flock on fire. They fall to the ground like wounded airplanes, much to Dirk Anger’s horror.
Dirk shatters the wheel of the Aeromarine in his clenched fist, before launching into an uninhibited verbal tirade against Monica, despite her being outside the craft. He rants and raves about how he asked Monica to do just one little thing. What was so awful about it? He asked her to perform weapons tests and not to worry her little girly head about the weapons coming from the company that used to be a terrorist cell. He asked her to blow up chunks of America for freedom! “But no!” he exclaims. “You couldn’t! One little thing!” It’s like she suddenly turned forty and her face went south and suddenly it was - no, Dirk, I won’t do those things with the chickens and the wig and the bath full of acid for you any more. “And by the way Dirk, give me all your cash, let me paint everything pink, adopt a million screaming little snot-factory children for me and don’t you dare touch me or my womb will fall out.
He’s almost at breaking point as he clenches his teeth together hard. “And you know what I did?” he asks. Dirk then turns to see his entire crew looking at him as if he were a gibbering imbecile. He laughs nervously and scratches his head before turning and asking the crew to just kill ‘em. “Engage main batteries.”
Aaron Stack and the Captain are flying close to the Aeromarine and Aaron’s sensors pick up on the fact that its power output just ramped up. They’re going to deploy their guns. The Captain confirms with Aaron that the reactors are at the rear of the Aeromarine, before flying downwards to pick up speed. He informs Aaron that they need to take away their advantage and give them some trouble to deal with. He asks Aaron to use his clever robot brain to think of a way to take them out. He’ll use his stupid human head to give them some trouble.
Surely enough, numerous guns emerge from the main body of the Aeromarine. Monica notices them. “Those are some big **** guns.” She assaults the craft by creating a petawatt laser effect, which tears its way down the ship’s hull. The Captain is now at full speed and heading upwards. He knows this will hurt, but he has no alternative. He smashes straight into the tail of the ship, damaging the reactors. Unfortunately, the impact renders him unconscious and he falls to the ground helplessly.
Elsa and Tabitha continue their fight with Samurai Batch 23, with Elsa relishing the fact that she’s great at this kind of thing. Tabitha isn’t bad either, with an almost unlimited supply of power to see off the sword-wielding robots. As they fight, the Aeromarine struggle to maintain its latitude. Dirk Anger’s assistant, wearing pink this time, informs him that there’s trouble in the reactor feed to engine two. Dirk replies that he doesn’t care. He asks for a forty-degree declination. They’re going to fire the remaining batteries right at the three members of Nextwave on the ground. He grabs a bottle of booze and chews off the top of the bottle: not just the cap.
A further explosion rocks the Aeromarine as it begins its descent. Aaron Stack enters the ship through one of the holes created by the Captain. He lands inside, but finds himself surrounded by soldiers. Meanwhile, Monica flies alongside the craft and floods the bridge with X-rays. Inside, Dirk asks what in the name of Satan’s underpants is going on. Monica informs them that she’s flooded the hull with x-rays. It was a quick burst. A long burst will leave all of them with permanent cell damage. She warns him to back off. “Like hell!” exclaims Dirk. “Homicidal crabs!”
Small panels open on the outside of the ship, and hundreds of small, orange crab-like robots emerge. They have little rocket boosters on their tails and they chase Monica away from the ship. Aaron engages the soldiers inside; his extendable arms allowing him to sweep them all together. He throws one hapless soldier away like he was waste paper before grabbing two rifles. “No more mister nice robot.”
Monica is airborne, blasting away at the Homicidal Crabs that rocket towards her, and Elsa continues her physical fight against Samurai Batch 23, taking out the last of the robots. She understands that this whole thing is ridiculous. They’re just going to throw something else at them now. They’ll beat them down in waves unless they do something drastic. Tabitha looks at the Captain and wonders if he’s dead. Elsa replies that he’s a guy: how would they be able to tell. Tabitha says that he wouldn’t be farting.
Meanwhile, Aaron makes his way through the Aeromarine. He used to sneak around there at night to steal beer until he discovered that Dirk Anger brewed it himself and what he made it out of. He thought ‘lizard squeezings’ was a brewery name. On the bridge, Dirk Anger is in full-on ranting mode again. He swallows the booze and orders the release of the Neo-Hyde Spawn. They’re human scum empowered by the cloned chemically-mutated cells found in the stomach walls of the corpse of Henry Jekyll himself! “They eat girls, Monica! Ha ha ha ha ha! They eat girls!”
He grabs the wheel of the ship and orders the Atomic Puppies be put in the torpedo tubes. “Yap yap bang! Ha ha ha ha ha! Yap yap bang!” Aaron Stack then communicates with the bridge and he asks Dirk to direct his cameras directly in front of the Aeromarine’s prow. He has something to show him. He asks if he can see it. Aaron is hovering there, holding an orange dress in his hand with pink flowers on it. Dirk’s rant is stopped in its tracks. Aaron points his finger at the dress and asks Dirk to give them his word that he’ll turn and leave, and he will replace the object. Press his attack, and he will incinerate the dress.
Dirk drops to his knees. He suddenly looks like a broken man. He begs Aaron not to do this. Can’t he just let him kill him? Aaron says he is a clumsy robot. The longer Dirk makes him wait, the more likely it is that something will go wrong. His finger lights up. “Oops. My blowtorch unit just lit. It was an accident. I’m sorry.” Dirk doubles over, asking his assistant to give the order to stand down. She reminds him that they’ve got Nextwave where they want them. “How can some old dress…” Dirk shouts at his crew to stand down.
Moments later, the Aeromarine turns tail and departs, its reactors leaving a smoking trail in testament to the battle. The Captain is still unconscious, his butt sticking upwards and his face stuck in the ground. When Monica asks if he’s dead, Tabitha tells her that he’s farting. “Okay,” Monica replies. Aaron then descends after leaving the ship. He is wearing an overly large bra over his jacket. He says that he gave Dirk back the dress but borrowed some stuff. Monica thinks she’s going to throw up. Elsa asks why he’s wearing one of Andrea Dworkin’s bras. Monica thinks that she’s now definitely going to throw up.
They look at the Shockwave Rider, which is still lying in its crash position. Aaron reckons he can get the thing running again. There’s plenty of repair gear inside. Elsa orders Aaron to take of the bra. “It’s ****ing disturbing.” He tells her to lick his diodes. He’s the hero today. Elsa smashes him in the face with her shovel, and both Monica and Tabitha grab shovels of their own and proceed to pummel Aaron into the ground.
Aboard the Aeromarine, Dirk sits alone in a darkened room, chewing on a Lizard Boom Stick and wearing the dress he recovered from Aaron. “It’s all right mother. It’s all right,” he mumbles to himself. However, it’s not all right. It will never be all right. Nothing will ever be the same. No good can come of a robot in a bra.

Untitled
(Shotcreek, Colorado)
One of the Beyond Corporation’s broccoli-based robots is alone inside a small derelict-looking shack. He is on a mission, and no ordinary mission that usually involves chasing and shooting at Nextwave. It chants an incantation whilst standing before a strange marking on the floor. “I blind the Vishanti. I shred the shade of the Seraphim and scatter them. I put the moons of Munnopor to the torch. I have made your mark in the blood of French Canadians. You cannot deny my contract. Listen! I summon you!”
In an eerie blue flash of fire, a figure appears; a figure that looks remarkably similar to the dread Dormammu. He informs the robot that it has invoked Rorkannu! He is the dread lord of the Dank Dimension and prodigal scion of Paltine, ruler of all he does perceive. The robot says hello and hands him its business card. It explains that it has come to their attention that he controls an unusual natural resource in the Dank Dimension - the Mindless Ones. They’re big hunched-over guys who fire death stuff from their faces. Beyond Corporation would like to rent them.
He asks Rorkannu what he wants for them. The dread lord leans back and flexes his muscles, as if to castigate the robot at being asked such a stupid question. Instead, it leans in towards the robot and replies, “Girls… cash also works.” The robot only has a hundred dollars on him, but it’s enough for the dread lord. He takes the cash and does the flexing muscles thing again. He is pleased with his quarry. He adds that the girls he likes are those ‘Suicide girls.’ They appear on a website; girls with tattoos and piercings. He likes those. No blondes, he adds.
(meanwhile)
The Shockwave Rider splutters its way through the air. Aaron is supposed to be fixing the craft, but instead he in the back with the Captain getting drunk. The Captain feels pretty bad about being taken out during the last two interceptions. He discusses his name with Aaron who doesn’t even feign being remotely interested in what he has to say. The Captain explains that he has tried numerous names in the past. He was Captain Power for a while but then he got sued - something about a cartoon. Then he changed it to Captain Ron and got sued. He changed it to Captain L. Ron and got beaten up by Tom Cruise.
After that, it was Captain Universe but that was taken, and then Captain Ultra. He was a plumber who broke into his house and left a horse’s head in the water tank as a warning. Captain Avenger was taken, and so he tried Captain Avalon. Avalon was his mom’s favorite Roxy Music album and one which was playing when he was conceived, but there was already one of those, too. He tried Captain Marvel, but there have been like eight of them. One of them was an adult movie star with a yellow lightning bolt tattooed on his…
Anyway, he scraped the bottom of the barrel when he tried Captain Kerosene, but there already was one. He wasn’t Captain Rectitude, but he was pretty much all the other captain’s at one time or another. So, in the end he gave up and stuck with simply, The Captain. Then some marine-looking melon-farmer tracks him down and says he was The Captain first. He had to pay him money in the end. He asks Aaron if he’s boring him. “God, no,” replies Aaron, as he jams a pipe from the beer barrel directly into his body so he can get drunk more quickly.
On the Shockwave Rider’s bridge, Monica and Elsa are having a chat. They are a couple of hours away from Shotcreek. Beyond Corporation’s Marketing Plan is a little vague about what can be found there, but they feel they must investigate. It has something to do with a ‘magic deal,’ and they wonder what that might entail. Monica relates a few tales about being hit on by several of the male Avengers, including Thor and Ant-Man. She says the only one who didn’t hit on her was Captain America. She doesn’t think he likes girls. Elsa thinks that’d be cool. It’d explain why there’s always someone dressed up as him at gay pride marches, too.
(Shotcreek, Colorado)
The little shack where Rorkannu appeared begins to glow, and an eerie rainbow-colored light is emitted from the doorway. Slowly, the Mindless Ones appear, lurching forwards mindlessly into the town.
(on board the Aeromarine, H.A.T.E.’s flying headquarters)
Dirk Anger is alone in his thinking room, eating something that can only be described as pink gunk. He’s been in there three days now, and wants to resign from life. His assistant contacts him, informing the general that they have a fix on the Shockwave Rider. They’ve also had a communiqué from the Beyond Corporation. They’ve gone ahead with the magic deal without them, and they’re testing the product live in Shotcreek.
Dirk asks his assistant what the means to him. She explains that the Nextwave Squad are en route to Shotcreek, and don’t know what they’re getting into. They estimate two hundred product units are on the loose in Shotcreek at this moment. Dirk’s face light up, as his assistant explains that they don’t even have to intervene. They can just watch these products kill the Nextwave Squad. She has prepared his special vibrating chair and everything. Dirk sweeps the gunk off the table in a physical display of joy. “Hot damn!” he exclaims. “Get me a case of vodka, eight loose women and a stomach pump! Stat!” Imma watch teevee!”
The Shockwave Rider chugs its way into Shotcreek. The Captain asks Monica what they’re looking for. She isn’t sure, but replies that they’ll know it when they see it. Aaron notices something on his monitor. There are bodies in the street. Monica asks if there are any emergency services at the scene. Aaron tells her that they’re where the gunfire is. Monica gives the order to go in, asking for Elsa to wear a flight harness and be loaded for bear.
The team exits the Rider and descends to where a line of police cars is blocking a street. The sergeant asks who the hell they’re supposed to be. Monica replies that they’re the help. She asks Monica to try and take a look at what they’re up against without getting her head blown off. Down the street, Monica sees a group of Mindless Ones heading their way. As they walk, they each fire destructive blasts of energy from what constitutes a face, and a police car explodes. One officer makes a run for it, only to be blasted from behind.
Monica is shocked. The sergeant says they aren’t equipped for this kind of thing. Maybe Monica can impress her or something. She doesn’t want to see anyone else blown up, and maybe she can find her husband in one piece someplace. Monica tells the sergeant to get the emergency services moving. Where they are is where they draw the line. She turns to her team and explains that they’re up against huge walking monster-things with death-ray faces. What are they waiting for? This is what they do. Nextwave head gloriously into action.
Aaron Stack uses his powerful extended legs to wade through the Mindless Ones, kicking them like an American football high into the air. As they tumble past Elsa Bloodstone, she likens them to clay pigeons. This is more like it. She takes a few shots at the first to arrive and, to her joy, she finds that it explodes. “Oh, my God,” she beams, “They explode! My life has taken on new meaning.” She makes sure many more do likewise.
Monica pours on her power, burning them as they approach. Being Mindless Ones, the others simply continue their path forward, almost oblivious to the danger. The Captain finds three of the powerful creatures walking towards him, menacingly. He wishes he could think of something funny to say, but instead he lets his fists do the talking, ripping the creatures apart. Tabitha Smith creates time bombs that plough straight through the creatures’ tough hides before exploding. Their bodies splatter, and Tabitha is covered in slime. “Ew ew ew ew ew! They shot their muck all over meee!” she whines. Aaron’s foot crushes an approaching creature. “Like that’s never happened before,” he quips.
Nextwave have done their job well. Though the street looks like a war zone, the Mindless Ones are finished. The Captain thinks that was easy. Monica replies that they were lucky. They weren’t expected. The sergeant wanders over and tells Monica that they drew their line and they owe them. But what about the rest of the town? This was just the leading edge. They’re all over the north side of town, and their numbers are increasing all the time. Nextwave saved half of Shotcreek, but can they do anything about the other half?
Monica motions down the street, asking if it heads north. She then asks the sergeant to move behind them at one hundred yards distance to receive the walking and the wounded. Nextwave aren’t done yet. She asks them if they’re up for a ground war. Elsa replies that they wouldn’t be riding with her if they weren’t.
North of the town, the Mindless Ones are having fun before their opponents arrive. One picks up a baseball cap and skateboards through town with several of his companions. Others steal a car and go for a joyride, as more and more creatures continue to pour from the shack.

Dance, Critters.
(Shotcreek, Colorado)
It’s late at night, and the Mindless Ones click their fingers and proceed to dance down the street. In another part of town, Nextwave stand over the smoking bodies of another group of Mindless Ones. Monica figures they need to scatter in order to contain whatever the hell they are. Elsa replies that she knows what they are. Her dad was the monster hunter, Ulysses Bloodstone, so she learned all about monsters. These are really old. “Learned at your daddy’s knee?” asks Monica. Elsa replies that it’s something like that.
(flashback)
Elsa is seated at the dinner table in her school uniform. Her robot nanny shows her a photograph. Elsa asks why she has to do this every time her folks go traveling. The robot reminds her that it’s because it’s her father’s will, reminding her to concentrate. Elsa looks at the creature in the photograph and states that it’s the Terrible Brain Vole of the old Kushan Empire. It reproduces by pooing in your ear when you’re asleep. Its eggs eat your brain and then control you like a puppet, and then it poos in other people’s ears through their mouth… or something like that.
The nanny throws the photograph at her face and shouts, “No. Wrong!” Clasps then emerge from Elsa’s chair, which bind her tight. Elsa looks horrified, saying her mommy and daddy wouldn’t put her through this just for the sake of stupid lessons about monsters. The nanny replies that ‘mommy’ doesn’t know about her. ‘Daddy’ built her. She got the question wrong, so she should come to Hate Mother now. Her chest plate opens revealing something akin to a medieval torture chamber. “Commmme toooo Haaaaaate Motherrrrrrr!” it cackles. Elsa screams.
(present)
Elsa shudders from the memory before loading up her shotgun. She informs Monica that they’re called the Mindless Ones. They’re from another dimension or pocket universe or whatever. There’ll be a gate somewhere, like a magic circle drawn on the ground. Mess it up and the gate closes. Monica tells her team that they’ll scatter out to the edge and push in, whilst looking for their magic gate. She can’t believe the conversations she’s having since she started wearing the costume. She reminds them not to get killed, and everyone goes their separate ways.
Elsewhere, several Mindless Ones wait for a bus. Others watch American Idol on television through a shop window. Many more are inside a bistro, having killed everyone inside and caused a whole load of damage. Elsa is passing the bistro when she notices what’s happened. She grabs her cell phone and calls her team. She informs them that there are around a dozen of them, before pausing for a moment. Her mind goes back to her formative years.
(flashback)
Ulysses Bloodstone stands on the edge of a pit, inside of which is the legendary, ageless and filthy Blight Beast of Krakow, who he beat and caged five thousand years earlier. It looks like a dark-colored alligator. He asks his infant daughter if she’s ready. Holding a spoon in her hand, she replies, “Blpt?” Ulysses tosses her into the pit and asks her to make him proud.
(present)
She tells her team to hell with it. She’ll do it herself as usual. She opens fire through the window, attracting the attention of the monsters inside. With one down, she leaps through the window and lands on a catering trolley. She sails through the bistro, opening fire on the creatures that attack her. Eventually, she runs out of shells, despite how Hollywood tries to pretend otherwise. The Mindless Ones fire their eye beams at her, destroying the trolley. She leaps gracefully into the air, landing with her foot on the edge of a table. The table tips up and the cutlery is thrown from the tablecloth. Elsa uses her feet to kick the knives and forks at the creatures, and they fall to her innovative attack. “I learned that trick with a baby’s spoon,” she remarks as she lands.
(flashback)
Having defeated the Blight Beast of Krakow, Ulysses lifts baby Elsa from the pit and holds her out to a hideous creature wearing a nappy. In honor of her newfound skills, her father wants her to circumcise the hideous Felch-Monster of Bihar Province. “Blib?” says a confounded Elsa.
(present)
Rorkannu directs a seemingly endless bunch of Mindless Ones from the dimensional portal inside the shack. He thinks that, as they are empty, insensible things, shuffling around making the place look untidy, they’ll be the perfect replacement for humanity. Elsewhere, Tabitha Smith kills well over a dozen of the creatures, spelling the word ‘Taby’ in flaming, smoldering bodies. Aaron tells her that she’s spelt her name wrong, but she’s adamant that she hasn’t.
Meanwhile, H.A.T.E.’s Aeromarine flies over the mountains. Someone dressed in a yellow hazard suit pours some gunk from a toxic container out of the back, polluting the pristine environment below where seals are basking. General Anger is in the process of hanging himself from the ceiling when his assistant calls to him through the door. He informs her that he’s in a meeting with his maker, but she tells him that they have a communiqué from the Beyond Corporation. They have new ordnance which they want H.A.T.E. to clear for testing. Dirk sarcastically asks her to tell them how useful the Drop Bears were. His assistant says this is different. It’s something called the ‘New Paramounts.’
Dirk Anger stops trying to finish himself off and asks if the communiqué mentioned anything about complements. His assistant replies yes - it states full complement achieved. Dirk smiles. God loves him after all. He orders her to change course to Beyond Corporation headquarters and to get a fix on Nextwave’s position. He knows how to get rid of them now. Unfortunately, the stool he’s using to hang himself with collapses, leaving him dangling from the noose. Outside the room, an assistant wonders what he’s doing in there. A colleague informs her that the sounds he’s making are the sounds he makes when looking at illegal web sites.
Back in Shotcreek, the Captain communicates to Monica that he’s discovered the shack from which the Mindless Ones are emerging. It’s a public restroom. She’ll be able to find it by listening out for the screaming… and it won’t be coming from him. He dives at full speed, heading for the shack. First he’s gonna kill whoever’s in there, then he’s gonna **** them, then he’s going to make a joke and then **** them again.
He ploughs through the roof, landing right next to Rorkannu who flails his arms, announcing that he has violated his gate of fire. The Captain yanks a washbasin from the wall and smashes Rorkannu in the face with it. Rorkannu asks if that’s all he has. He insults the Captain by adding that he’s funny-looking. “Look at you,” he continues, “You weren’t even born. You mother coughed one day and you leaked out.” The Captain punches him in the face, only to see his hand go straight through Rorkannu’s flaming head and into the wall behind. This sets his fist alight and he screams. Rorkannu informs him that he is Rorkannu, master of the Dim Dimension, and the Captain cannot beat him up. He crushes the Captain’s face into the ground, but he recovers quickly, turning and punching Rorkannu in the chest. He then drop kicks him into a cubicle.
Continuing his assault, the Captain shoves Rorkannu’s head down the toilet bowl and then kicks him straight through it before smashing him through each of the cubicle walls at speed. Despite his flaming head having gone out, Rorkannu still moves, so the Captain grabs a pipe from the wall and proceeds to hammer away at his body.
Tabitha is the first to arrive at the shack and as she steps inside, she quickly turns and vomits. Monica pops her head inside and asks the Captain what he’s doing. Who is this guy? The Captain walks over to her and smiles, informing her that he defeated the super-villain, like a real super hero. He hands her a toilet brush covered in gunk. Feebly, Rorkannu says, “I… am Dread Rorkannu… and I will return to **** you all…” Monica storms over to him, brush in hand. “Oh is that right!”
(later)
As the sun rises and the squealing noises fade away, a new day begins over Shotcreek. It’s been a strange night for Nextwave. One of them finally had his turn at winning, and one of them even had something approaching a character moment. You can be sure the writer won’t let **** like that happen again.

Untitled
(1941)
It’s ten minutes after Captain America’s creation, and a soldier is looking for him. He finds a surgeon standing outside the toilet, his whites covered in blood. Captain America is inside. The soldier can’t believe that the first thing that Steve Rogers does after being turned into America’s first super-soldier is to take a leak. The doc wonders if the whole thing about the Nazi spy killing the professor’s rattled him. The soldier replies that this guy has to punch out a thousand krauts an hour to make the army quota, and a gunshot makes him need the bathroom. “We’re doomed.”
Steve Rogers exits the bathroom and informs the doc that the toilets won’t flush. The soldier ushers him away, saying the president is waiting. Maybe he could lift something to show how strong he is. Hell, the doc replies. This is Roosevelt. Being able to stand up would impress him.
As they depart, a Nazi agent leaves the men’s room carrying a jar, which contains Captain America’s urine. He is grateful to Agent X-9 for killing the professor before he could tell them that the super-soldier serum expresses out in the urine after the procedure. The spy figures he will get the iron cross and ten minutes with Eva Braun for this. Only he, Agent Z-B, could arrange it so he could get the Führer’s undying love for a bottle of American harn. As he tries to sneak away, he finds a pistol aimed at his face, held by a gloved hand. “Your Führer doesn’t get that tube of super-pee, Kamerad. Be silent now.”
(present)
Nextwave are standing in an empty street. There’s no sign of life anywhere, and Tabitha doesn’t get it. They were listening to the local radio station on the way in. Monica adds that the outboard mics picked up ambient noise. The cams showed people in the streets, even. What the hell is going on? Elsa asks if there shouldn’t be, like, devil dinosaurs and stuff chewing up the population right about now. According to the Marketing Plan, replies Monica, before asking her what the hell she’s wearing.
Elsa tells her that the large E on her blue shirt is “E” for Europe. Tabby asks if that’s like her European flag or something. Elsa says that the stars bit is, anyway. Tabitha thinks the flag sucks. It makes Europe look like a really sucky country. “Europe isn’t a country,” replies Elsa, miffed. Tabby asks why, if it’s not a country, it has a flag. When Elsa explains that Europe is a community, Tabby reckons community is just a longer word for country; a French word or something.
Tabby then asks why the French hate them, anyway. Elsa tells her that they don’t. The French-Canadians hate them, though. Tabitha clasps her hands to her cheeks. “ZOMG! There are French people in Canada? That’s like, right next door. Oh NOES!” She runs away like a madwoman as the others ignore her histrionics.
When Aaron asks Monica what they do now, Monica says that the plan is wrong, but that’s to be expected. They could have adjusted things since it was written. Aaron points out that the whole place is empty. There’s no electromagnetic residue at all. There’s been no weapon since the crossbow that didn’t leave some kind of trace on the environment.
(1999, Sam Parkin)
Sam is sitting in his apartment with a hot coffee. An interviewer asks him what’s wrong. He replies that Hank Pym is what’s wrong. He’s an embarrassment to the scientific community. He has a long history of unsupported self-experimentation and terrible mistakes, whilst he spent fifteen years working on the multipoidy process. Chromosomal multiplication inside a reactive gene stack. Twice the efficacy of Pym’s process with no side effects. Can he get anyone to even look at it? No, he adds, because of Hank Pym.
Sam becomes agitated as he explains that size change drove Pym crazy. It’s unstable and froze Pym at twelve feet for two years. It made him pass out if he multiplied over sixty feet. He killed an entire field of science. Sam goes back to his drink. He thinks he can do it. He can be a super hero, but he’s out of money and no one will talk to him. His wife left him and he lives on Ramen. The only way he could make rent last month was by attacking a pay phone with a crowbar in the middle of the night. He also lives on really cheap coffee.
He asks the patient listener if he knows how he paid for the last round of development. He sewed a Giant-Man costume together, went to sixty feet and knocked over a drugstore. The interviewer asks how he would like more money than he can count and the work of heroes. “Sam’s face lights up. “Where do I sign?”
(present)
Monica and Aaron chat about the fact that they appear to have been lured to a full-sized fake city hundreds of miles from anywhere. They figure that they need to get out of there, now! They are joined on the run by the Captain, Elsa and Tabitha, but they soon come to a halt when faced with the shadow of a large floating castle, hanging upside down from a large chunk of rock. An unusual sight to say the least.
“The Nextwave squad, I presume.” In the window of one of the spires stands a Beyond Corporation robot wearing a white suit and matching top hat. It introduces itself as the Chief Executive Officer of the Beyond Corporation known as Number None. Beside him, all upside down, are Mister Sssh, Pope Omertà and General Quiet. The quartet represents the core cell of S.I.L.E.N.T. The CEO explains that they placed a trapdoor in the Marketing Plan: a false location to lure anyone daring to interfere with the testing schedule. More to the point, the city is not only fake - it’s on jets.
The whole city raises itself from the ground amidst a plume of smoke. The CEO continues to point out that Nextwave, as they may know, is the name given to a group of superhuman criminals in the 1970’s. Dirk Anger bought the rights to the name and created his own ‘Nextwave.’ It has gone one step further. He has bought himself entire superteams. It motions to the outside of the spire and cries, “Behold!” Down below, Nextwave don’t think this is going to end up well.
(flashback - time uncertain)
Forbush Man talks to the interviewer in his darkened room. He explains that it was he who, in 1999, reignited the sun when it stopped, sending the first wave of new photons faster than light so that no one noticed. He kicked an asteroid into a path that took it behind the Moon, instead of hitting the Earth. When the Beast of Botswana emerged from Lake Ngami, he was there. When the Special Legion of Machine Avengers Executive encroached from Earth 999, he was there. He is the greatest man this planet has ever known, he continues. He is the greatest power in human history, and no one knows his name. He adds that he met Charles Xavier once. He laughed at his hat. He will join the CEO’s group because the people of the world should know his name. And, because no one should ever laugh at his hat again.
(present)
The CEO’s heroes arrive, flying own from the floating castle. The first to appear are The Surgery, consisting of Doctor Headless, Doctor Injectable, Doctor Meatball and Doctor Nosexy. Next up are The Vestry, made up of Abbess Horror, the Inquisitor, Father Pain, Red Rosary and Reverend Guilt. The CEO then introduces The Homosexuality, but no one appears. Mister Sssh whispers in its ear, and the CEO informs Nextwave that they will be there as soon as the gay pride parade in San Francisco is over. But, it continues, as terrifying as these creations are, they were not enough. Superhumanity is a wildflower in this strange America. It grows unchecked, and it considered for many years how to garden it.
(flashback - time uncertain)
The unseen interviewer speaks with David Beiderbecke in his prison cell. He’s been a naughty boy, and a surprisingly stupid one, too. He broke into an abandoned army post in Nevada in order to become intoxicated through the sniffing of gasoline fumes. David snarls, and explains that he likes it. There was a big fuel dump there from years ago. The interviewer asks if he ever wondered why the fuel hadn’t been transferred when the base was closed. Did he ever ask what happened at the base? David turns and grabs a small sheet, replying that he didn’t.
The interviewer explains that the base was the staging post for the explosion of the first gamma bomb. All that gasoline was gamma-irradiated. He’s been huffing gamma gas, that that’s why what happened… happened. It’s going to keep happening now. It’s bonded to his system. If he bails David, it means he can be helped. However, it’s going to mean he’s going to have to do some work. David lies down and replies, “Sure. Okay. Whatever.” The interviewer is pleased, and asks if he heard what the cops were calling him.
(present)
The CEO speaks to Monica, still hanging in his upside down castle. It has a bunch of comic books in its grasp, and it tells her that it found them. Some subliterate had left them on a bench in the S.I.L.E.N.T.-assisted death pool. “See, as I did,” it exclaims as it throws the comics down to her. They land at her feet, revealing them to be old issues of Not Brand Echh. “And then Miss Rambeau, I laughed, and laughed, and laughed, and went and built my classical super heroes from the raw materials given me by these absurd times.” It informs her that it built Charlie America, its Giant-Sam, its frankly inedible Bulk and its mysterious, existentially terrifying Forbush-Man.
Monica looks up and sees the four Paramounts standing on the rocks beside the castle. As the Vestry and the Surgery look on, the Paramounts begin their descent, heading for their confrontation with Nextwave. Aaron asks Monica how she wants to handle this. Monica replies that she knows how he liked plans and tactics for every other situation they’ve been in. This time she wants him to hit these people every which way he can without killing them, until they beg Auntie Monica to make the pain go away.
The rest of the superheroes follow the Paramounts to the fake city, where the Paramounts land with a satisfying crunch. Elsa grabs her shotguns and tells Tabby that she wants the New Rhinestone Maximums or whatever they’re called. Tabby doesn’t like the way that the bulky dude is looking at her chest. She creates a time bomb and unleashes it.
Monica, Aaron and the Captain take to the air, whilst Tabitha goes one to one with Giant-Sam. He tells her that he’s a serious super hero, and it’s for the best that he takes her out of this. Tabby replies that no one in his clothes is a serious human. She fries his arm, and the stream of fire makes its way to his face, scorching it, causing him to collapse. The Bulk looks up at his comrade, remarking that he’s never had a girlfriend, before Giant-Sam lands on him.
Elsa, meanwhile, takes pot shots at Charlie America, but he defends himself with his shield. He then lays her out by smashing it into her. He orders her to lie there. He’s the predator here: she’s just the victim. Elsa grabs a pistol of some kind and fires at Charlie. He explodes. “Do you think this letter on my chest stands for America?” she bellows.

Untitled
The Beyond Corporation Core Cell has created beings with apparent super powers to tackle Nextwave. These groups are the Vestry, the Surgery and the Homosexuality (who haven’t turned up). Also on hand are the Paramounts - super-powered individuals based on characters from the Brand Echh magazine.
The Vestry are the first to try their hand. They surround Aaron Stack in mid-air and order him to pay allegiance to god or get his face kicked in. Aaron doesn’t believe in their god, and reckons their god will throw up when he sees what he has done to them. He creates a variety of weapons from his robotic fingers, including knives, a gun, a saw-blade and… a bottle opener. They fly at him, but Aaron extends his telescopic legs and they crash into each other. He then retracts his legs quickly, slicing into his opponents with the tools at hand. Monica screams at him. She said there’d be no killing. Aaron replies that he’s not killing, as he slices the head off Reverend Guilt. He is sending them to their fleshy heaven… or maybe not.
As Aaron plunges his weapons into the Vestry, he realizes that they are simply Human Resources broccoli clones dressed up as super heroes. Monica isn’t happy about that and she flies towards the core cell that still inhabit the upside-down castle. She is intercepted by the Surgery, who grab her and prepare to operate. Fortunately for her, the Captain grabs Doctor Nosexy and smashes his head against a wall. He then squeezes the good doctor’s headless body, aiming the insides at the core cell. Number None is covered in the green slime that emanates from Doctor Nosexy’s corpse. The CEO of Beyond Corporation’s core cell isn’t impressed. “Death is too good for you!” He then calls for Forbush Man to show them his power.
The Captain tosses Doctor Nosexy at Forbush Man, commenting that he might make a new hat for him. Forbush Man clenches his small fists and warns them that they will die slowly for insulting his hat. Monica faces him and tells him that he obviously has problems, so why doesn’t he go sit down somewhere while the adults take care of their business? Forbush Man grabs his helmet (pan) with both hands and begins to lift it from his head. “Behold the naked omnistellar mind of the ultimate human,” he replies. “Experience life in Forbush-vision. Behold.” A bright white light brings about an entirely new life for Nextwave.
(alternate realities of the mind)
Forbush Man somehow directs the Nextwave crew into thinking that they are living alternate lives. Monica Rambeau finds herself a Qrii (Kree) warrior in San Francisco, 1967. She has the soul of a Qrii warrior inside the body of a rocket scientist, adrift in the Bay Area. The body fights the soul, with the remains of Monica constantly straining to regain its original essence, held in a nega-band inside Hunter’s Point Naval Base, presided over by predatory mineral intelligence, General Zo. At the base, the huge, pyramid-shaped general orders his followers to kneel before him.
The Qrii warrior in question is Plushkommander Geheneris Halason Mahr Vehl. She can see Monica Rambeau’s soul dying on her uni-band. It’s December. What comes after the summer of love? Will she survive the winter of hate? General Zo forces Mahr Vehl to test herself against the war devices he releases in the Bay Area; his private proving range. He told Mahr Vehl that, when the sixties end, he will let her become a ghost of space once more – no longer bound by the nega-band. Mahr Vehl doesn’t believe him. All she has is a liar’s promise and her Marvel Gun against hell on Earth, and the certain knowledge that her entrapment in this body is killing a good woman’s soul.
As Mar Vehl stumbles through the city, disorientated, several people with pink eyes painted on their foreheads start chanting, “Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka,” before bending over backwards. Parasitic hosts then emerge from their stomachs and use the humans’ four limbs as legs. Zo has made the people into bombs for his own amusement. Who would do that? thinks Mahr Vehl. What living thing would make a weapon out of another?
The Qrii believe that Earth is the playground of what Americans would call Satan, and so they only allow their dead to monitor the world from space. All Mahr Vehl has left is the Qrii weapon welded to her soul when she attained the rank of Plushkommander: her Marvel-Gun. It fires joy from a better universe - pure beams of transformative epiphany. But, lately the gun cries at night, and is often cold and wet to the touch. They call her Captain Marvel, here in hell, and she has drained the joy from a better universe to try and save a single world from itself.
Meanwhile, Machine Man finds himself a clerk at Pelmar Insurance Company. He answers the telephone all day and tries to help people with their claims. All he gets for his troubles is abuse from the customers. The claims are ridiculous, with a customer he speaks to wanting medication for their supposed diagnosis of cancer of the soul and mental cirrhosis. Machine Man doesn’t care about the customer. He is there to be a machine, and is becoming a mindless automaton more and more as the days go by. His frustrations are taken out on his computer screen, which he destroys before finally slamming his head into it. Even without a head, he continues to answer the next call for whatever brain-numbing claim the customer can come up with.
The Captain is now Captain Universe. He is feeling down as he thinks the universe has singled him out to ruin his life. The size of the universe frustrates him. This universe that he lives in is a parallel construction, and the uni-power catapulted him to the wrong side of light for him to see. For every action taken on his Earth, the opposite action has occurred here. It turns out that his Earth, for all its flaws, was the one that went right. Here it is a desolate place filled with horror and despair. Against the wash of the oily corpse-thick surf, he listens for the hissing. He has learned to hate the hissing. The hissing is the sound of a thousand super-humans in flight. They hate Captain Universe because he’s the last one on Earth who remembers how to smile. He is the most powerful being in the universe and he can do anything… except go home.
Elsa Bloodstone is the second and last in a dynasty of monster hunters enduring some three hundred thousand years. Her father wore the bloodstone that gave him functional immortality. Now she wears it. Her father was one of the first humans and she is one of the last. They have always hunted monsters and now the monsters hunt them, and it’s all her fault.
Her father hunted the monsters that haunted the Earth with ruthless determination. She rebelled against his ways and only hunted those monsters who offered a direct threat to humanity. She didn’t understand her father. She didn’t realize that what he was doing was breaking up breeding pairs. It wasn’t until the cryptozoologic wars that they emerged in their thousands. The creatures weren’t stupid. They forced the nuclear states into attempting to atomically sterilize their countries. They performed organized, specific strikes on major cities, reducing the numbers of breeding pairs. Elsa has been told that there are but a few hundred human breeding pairs in hiding - many in the Arctic and some in the Micronesian Islands. Then there is herself: doomed to be the last human alone in Britain. Just her and the monsters.
(reality)
The four sleeping members of Nextwave are slowly dying from the sheer horror of the alternate lives Forbush Man has projected them into. However, one sole member of the team remains unfazed by his power. Tabitha Smith stands before him, arms folded across her stomach. Forbush Man finds this impossible. She isn’t supposed to have any special abilities capable of blocking his attack. Tabitha replies that she guesses he’s just not much good with girls. Forbush Man clenches his fists and waves them in the air. “I am mighty with girls,” he exclaims. They make the right noises and ruin his bed linen and everything.
He now wishes to turn the full extent of his coruscant mind on Tabitha. Unfortunately, his power is to transport the mind, but she does not appear to have one. Tabitha points her finger at him and launches him over the highest building with one of her explosions. The rest of the tem begin to come round, and Monica asks what the hell that was. Tabitha smirks and informs her that the little guy did something to their heads, so she exploded him… because she’s clever. The Captain asks if he’s still in space as he rouses from his nightmare.
Monica suddenly remembers everything and becomes extremely annoyed. She switches to her energy form and flies towards the floating upside-down castle. Number None reckons it’s time to move one upon seeing her fury, and orders the engine room to throw lots of wood on the fire. A blast from Monica debilitates the castle as it flies away, leaving it a smoking wreck. Monica gives them the finger and warns them that she’s not done with them yet. She returns to the ground and tells the others that they’re going to follow the floating castle to wherever they came from. They’re finishing this!”

After being attacked by several teams of truly awful broccoli-based super heroes created by Number None, Nextwave are on the offensive. The crippled Shockwave Rider chugs through the air en route to Nextwave’s target – State 51. On board, Monica Rambeau questions Aaron Stack’s information. Is he sure the database didn’t mean Area 51? When Aaron replies that computers don’t lie, she reminds him that he has a computer brain and lies all the time. Aaron assures her that he doesn’t. She simply doesn’t like the answers he gives her.
Monica tells him that they are two miles up and there’s nothing there. Area 51 is somewhere below them in the Nevada Desert, but State 51 is nowhere to be seen. She bashes him on the head and asks him to work it out. He must have a calculator inside his head, right? Aaron programs a filter to appear on the window and sits back smugly as State 51 comes into view.
State 51 is the Beyond Corporation’s floating terror factory. It resembles a vast aircraft carrier, only it floats like a S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier. Chimneys produce plumes of black smoke, buildings are scattered around its length like a small city and a proud ‘State 51’ sign adorns one of its roofs. State 51 refracts 70% of the light around it and then reboosts the photons as they pass it. This means that the chunk of Nevada underneath still looks like it is receiving normal sunshine. The strange doomed workforce of State 51 live and toil in the other 30% which is constant twilight, but they’re bad guys so what the hell.
The Captain motions to the floating factory and says that this is where the Beyond Corporation has made everything that’s been thrown at them, so what do they do now? Monica guesses that they find the middle of it. It’s got to have a control center. Aaron maps out where that should be but finds it difficult, as State 51 has odd things such as bumpy gravity, competing electromagnetic fields and weird radar resistances going on. As he checks his computers, he tells the team that it’s like they have a massive flying war machine directly behind them.
As the Shockwave Rider splutters over State 51, a massive flying war machine, the H.A.T.E. Aeromarine, approaches them from behind. It opens fire on the tiny craft, forcing Monica to ask Aaron to gun the engines and look for shelter on the surface. Blasts rain down on them as the make their descent.
On board the Aeromarine, the mentally unhinged Dirk Anger is slumped over the ship’s wheel. His assistant informs him that the Shockwave Rider is hit. Should they fire the secondary cannon or try to take them alive? He pauses before asking if she brought him what he asked for. She just wants her orders, but he asks her again. “I want brains!” Still with the rope around his neck with which he tried to hang himself, Dirk rants about how the Beyond Corporation wouldn’t let him die due to a zombie switch in the brain. Of all the stupid things. And then his assistant bugs him with this **** while denying him his brains. “You want orders,” he replies. “You crank this **** thing up to ramming speed and you bring me my **** brains!”
The assistant understandably questions his orders. He asks if she’s deaf. He’s dead and can hear himself perfectly. He wants the Nextwave squad smeared into jelly across the prow and the surface of State 51. Maggots dribble from his mouth as he asks, “And could you please bring me my bucket of brains?” The Aeromarine follows the Shockwave Rider low over State 51. Dirk’s assistant informs him that they’re too close and will crash. Dirk doesn’t care. He has reinvented suicide as a group activity.
Meanwhile, Aaron Stack struggles with the controls before seeing some kind of service tunnel below. The Shockwave Rider drops vertically through it, leaving the Aeromarine to crash land on top of State 51. “My name’s Dirk Anger, and I say **** all of you,” he exclaims as the ship collides with the floating city. The massive explosions on the surface are the least of Nextwave’s concerns. The service tunnels begin to break apart due to the devastation above. Aaron calls for everyone to disembark quickly. The engines just got hit, and since they power the whole thing that makes their ship bigger on the inside that it is on the outside, they have little choice.
They leap from their ship and leave the Shockwave Rider to bounce helplessly along the tunnel until it explodes in a ball of fire. Aaron’s never going to be able to fix that. Monica figures that they’re still facing the right direction for the center of State 51, and they have a fair way to go. On top of that, she adds, she thinks they’ve pretty much announced their arrival, and they’ll probably throw everything they’ve got at them along the way. “Let’s save America by beating up everything we see,” she commands.
Nextwave proceeds to do what they do best, encountering a whole host of crazy robots, monsters, jump suit-wearing gorillas, deadly Stephen Hawkins clones, M.O.D.O.K-like Elvis heads, pirates, ninja, dinosaurs, samurai, aliens and creatures that resemble Wolverine along the way. They finally emerge in a quiet factory after defeating everything in their path. “My God,” exclaims the Captain, “This has got to get easier.” Monica asks if everyone is okay. She asks Tabitha and Aaron to sound off so she knows everyone is still geared up. There could be another wave any minute. Aaron can’t detect anything else in the vicinity. The last one they took down was the last one there was, he assures her. A voice from behind says, “The last one perhaps, but I am Number None! He skewers Aaron right through the chest with a spear. This can’t be good.

(State 51)
Nextwave look on, shocked, as Number None picks up Aaron Stack using a spear that he’s shoved through the robot’s chest. He drops him to the ground and tells the team that they understand nothing. They are the villains: he is the hero. Monica replies that he’s a super-terrorist who subverted a massive anti-terror operation to attack ordinary Americans. “I do what must be done,” replies that white-suited Number None, nonchalantly. Monica says he’s insane, and Number None takes umbrage at this.
“I do what must be done!” he repeats. He orders them to stop talking. “You must all be silent. S.I.L.E.N.T.!” Realizing that he’s ranting insanely, Number None turns and admits that he’s insane, but is it really that bad? Why do they fight him when he could make them kings and queens of America? Unfortunately, he lets slip that he means zombie kings and queens.
Not as injured as previously thought, Aaron Stack raises a finger, out of which emerges a large cutting tool with myriad razor-sharp rotating blades. He asks Number None if he’s ever met a robot he could kill by stabbing it through the chest. He doesn’t think so. He proceeds to ram the cutting tools into Number None’s face, which then explodes. This surprises Aaron, so Monica asks him to open up the chest. Before he can touch it, the chest explodes, creating a hole through which its insides can be seen. Tabitha looks inside and thinks it’s disgusting. The Captain wonders what it is.
Inside the chest is a small, pink baby-faced M.O.D.O.K. Monica explains that it’s a Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing. She guesses there have been four or five versions over the years, including female versions called M.O.D.A.M.’s. They are Mental Organisms Designed for Aggressive Maneuvers. She didn’t know that they came this small.
The tiny M.O.D.O.K. informs Monica that it’s a baby; the creation of a coming together by a M.O.D.O.K. and a M.O.D.A.M. by the light of Worlds of Warcraft servers. Monica cannot believe this. She’s been put to all this trouble all year by a baby M.O.D.O.K.? She asks where its mommy and daddy are. She wants to make them eat it.
The baby asks her not to talk about them. This isn’t about them. Its father disowned it and its mother wouldn’t stand up to him. It is alone in this world, it bawls. Its father did nothing for it. It took over S.I.L.E.N.T. on its own and developed the Beyond Corporation program… on its own! “He’ll notice me now. They’ll all notice me now!” it screams.
Monica swats the small pink flying robot away with her hand and the baby M.O.D.O.K bounces until teleporting away, warning them that it will show them all. Aaron can see the matter stream it leaves behind and asks the rest of the team to follow him. Tabitha taunts him a little, getting a rise out of Aaron. Monica has to step in to cool the situation down, and explains that they can follow this baby M.O.D.O.K. and pull the plug on S.I.L.E.N.T. once and for all. When the Captain asks what happens then, Monica guesses that it’ll probably mean the end for the Nextwave squad. There’s no real reason for them to stay together. They can go their separate ways; back to their lives. The Captain scratches his head, and the others realize that she might just be right.
The team follows Aaron as he tracks the baby M.O.D.O.K.’s matter stream, across State 51 to a large spherical building. Tabitha blasts the building as they approach to create an entrance. Inside it, the baby M.O.D.O.K. makes its way up a large staircase, only to be faced at the top of the stairs by a large revolver. Its owner is surrounded by smoke. The baby informs them that it tried to tell them, but now they have to show them. The gun’s owner calls the baby an idiot. They reckon that the baby probably told them this was all its idea. Without waiting for a response, the gun is fired, and the baby M.O.D.O.K. is ripped apart by a huge bullet. The spent bullet lands at the feet of Nextwave who have now entered the facility.
Through the smoke, the looming red figure of Devil Dinosaur emerges, carrying the revolver in one set of claws and a glass of wine in the other. He’s wearing a green smoking jacket and cravat. He calls them ‘impressive little monkeys’ for getting this far. He hates monkeys. Devil Dinosaur is full of himself and informs the team that he is the intellect behind the Beyond Corporation and S.I.L.E.N.T. He expects Nextwave to ask why, in some blatant and piteous attempt to distract him while they try and think of something to do. However, there is nothing to do, he informs them. It’s the end of the line.
Monica turns to Aaron and asks him to provide her with a read of the place. She wants to know the structure, load points, foundations and fixings - anything. Aaron begins to compute. Devil Dinosaur, who loves the sound of his own voice, explains that he is older than humanity. Older even than the monkeys. He is an authentic prehistoric citizen of the planet Earth. He was there before them, and knew the world before jabbering monkeys like them appeared. As he continues his spiel, Aaron gives Monica the low-down on State 51’s layout. She in turn gives the Captain, Elsa and Tabitha their orders.
Devil Dinosaur points out that he seeks nothing more but to restore the Earth to the peace it, and he, once knew. In that sense, he thinks of himself as an environmentalist or a compassionate conservative. “A return to Jurassic values, ha!” Monica asks Ellie and Tabby if they’re ready. Devil Dinosaur hears her talking and hurls his glass against the wall, smashing it, dramatically. Monica asks him if he did all this simply to victimize humans: to play with them. Devil Dinosaur admits that he did need his weapons tested. He may be two- hundred million years old, but that doesn’t mean he wants to spend time killing them all individually.
Monica replies that it’s not really her point. Devil Dinosaur asks what is her point. Monica tells him that she doesn’t buy his story. He lives on a floating state and would never have to see another human if he didn’t want to. She used to lead the Avengers, and knows how people think; even candy-apple red dinosaur people. “What did that human do to you?” she asks. Devil Dinosaur closes his eyes and turns his head away as the memories flood back. “I don’t know what you mean,” he lies. Monica says sure he does. What made him turn to a life of monkey-killing crime? The conversation becomes childish, with Devil Dinosaur refusing to answer the questions Monica puts to him. He becomes agitated, aiming the revolver at Monica and ranting about how he killed ‘him,’ and how they aren’t going to make him cry anymore.
Finally, he ceases his rant and offers Monica a crumpled photograph. It’s a picture of him and Moon-Boy. Monica doesn’t get it. Devil Dinosaur replies that she should look at it. He’s so ashamed that it took him so long to see it. He points at Moon-Boy with his claw. “Look at him there,” he mutters. “I am the monkey! Carry me around like an animal while I spread my monkey joy!” He informs Monica that Moon-Boy hated him and therefore had to die. He tasted bad and gave him some considerable rectal distress. He hopes she and her friends aren’t quite so hard on his guts.
Monica places her hands on her hips, and asks if he knows that they’re not just going to lay down and die. Devil Dinosaur replies that it doesn’t matter. He could not die by fire in the moments following his birth and they cannot harm him now. He’s been shot, burned… beaten. Monica asks if he’s ever been dropped from a height of two miles or so. Devil Dinosaur begins to rack his brains, before eventually realizing that her words are a threat. “…oh,” he exclaims, just as Monica unleashes a microwave storm in his direction. Devil Dinosaur fights on, and lifts his revolver to begin shooting. Before he fires a round, Elsa shoots a bullet from her rifle straight up the barrel. The gun explodes in his hand and he screams in agony.
It’s now Tabitha’s turn, and she creates tendrils of flame that seek out the hulking creature. They hurt him, but he still argues that they won’t kill him like this. He’s going to kill the ‘filthy monkeys.’ Nextwave exit the spherical building and the Captain gives it a good kick. The interior begins to collapse in on itself, with Devil Dinosaur still inside. It then begins to roll across State 51, crushing everything in its path. Devil Dinosaur complains to the bitter end, and is still shouting when the building rolls over the edge of State 51 and onto a mountain top two miles below. It then tumbles down the mountainside and lands in a crevice at the bottom. “’splode,” says Tabitha, and the entire sphere goes up in flames as a huge fireball destroys it.
Back on State 51, the Captain wonders what now. Monica admits that she hadn’t really thought about how she would feel. She ponders for a second, before asking the team, “What do you do with a vast invisible floating base full of God knows what kind of technology and supplies?” The Captain gives in. Monica turns and smiles. “Anything we want.”
End.
