Hail!
This week's comic focuses on the Starbolts' resident android, Norad. Since becoming more human in Starbolts #544, our friend has been on a quest to better himself and to better understand humanity. His "self-friends" have been helping him along the way for sure. However, he feels that certain changes have to be made in order to become more human. To do this, he took what Kellie said to heart and has decided on a new name since he feels it would help him be more like everyone else. Will it work? It remains to be seen.
His fellow android, Holly, is already mostly there. However, she is a completely different being in many ways. For one she was once human herself. Remember she was once an exotic dancer in Las Vegas. Agents of Terra Nova kidnapped her and put her neural patterns into a robotic shell. That shell became the villainous Syntax. The truth about her past revealed back in Starbolts #537.
Holly has been having an easier time adjusting to everything and she honestly remembers what it meant to be human. However, it's bits and pieces to be honest. She's a literal ghost in the machine. Thankfully, she's on hand to help ease Norad's transition to becoming like her. Though, one has to wonder if Holly is developing feelings for him. You never know. Stranger things have happened in this comic.
Norad still has a ways to go, though. He's still technically a three-year old and has much growing to do. I do admit to liking how he handled the mugger. It has some Johnny 5 from Short Circuit vibes doesn't it? Let's hope our friend gets all the help he can on his journey. It was nice that he found a fan.
More on Norad's journey soon!
See ya next time!
Actually, Norad isn't a bad name. Nobody says every name has to be found in a baby name book.
ReplyDeleteThat's true. =D I think Norad will come to that conclusion soon enough. Or maybe people can call him "Darron".
