Welcome back, my carboform fans.  My apologies for not posting an update in some weeks, but I had some trouble with your primitive servers.  It seems that there is this primitive concept called money that the suppliers of your backwards bandwidth wish to possess if too many people access your site.  This is why there are now pop-ups.

Damn your primitive culture.

But enough bitterness.  I have news, you wish to absorb it like a young Dworrian absorbs his mother's life-giving slime...

9/03/01 The long-rumored formation of  new west coast super hero team has finally been confirmed.  Seahawk, who has been seen teamed up with a variety of heroes over the past few weeks, finally unveiled her new team's lineup at a recent press conference.  Called the Pacific Guard (and as I roll all my eyestalks at that name), the team consists of:

Seahawk-who is as comfortable in the air as she is the water, possessing great strength and resilience.

Deluge-a newcomer to the scene, word is he is a Vietnamese refugee who is able to turn into a body of "living" water and seems to have some control over the element in large quantities.

M.A.C.O. (Mobile Aquatic Cybernetic Operations)-if any of you remember the late, great O.R.C.A., well this was one of the suits of armor also in the running for those hot military contracts.  The pilot's name has been witheld but word is the suit is very mobile and hostile.

Gray Seal-A veteran of the Navy S.E.A.L.s, he provides the team with some much-needed military expertise and experience to the team.

Alva-we aren't exactly sure what she can do, all we know is her name is some sort of surfing term.  You humans and your obsession with aquatic sports.  On my home planet the oceans consist of a deadly chemical soup that is lethal to all life.  You have something similar here; you call it beer.

Sea Wolf-no, you did not read that incorrectly and no, it is not someone else using that name.  Apparently he has secured a deal with the Federal and Michigan governments placing him under the direction of Seahawk and her team.  As long as he keeps his nose clean he gets to play the part of hero along the west coast.  He just better not come inland, like around the Great Lakes area.  I can think of at least one team who would like to place him in a kennel with his brothers.
 

On a far less controversial note, in yet another attempt at attaining legitimacy The Society of Nocturnal Dwellers has submitted a petition to Congress to make it illegal for anyone to slay a member of their "species".  If you do not know what a "nocturnal dweller" is, that's a vampire.  Apparently they have taken exception to the fact that it is legal in just about every country on the planet to hunt them down.  While most of you are probably going to scoff at this attempt be warned; the American Civil Liberties Union has jumped aboard and have lent their support.  It makes me glad I live one dimension above and two to the side of yours.
 

Until next time, carboforms...
