Starbolts #703: The Buzz Around the Office

 Hail!

   Wow! Isn't this a huge surprise? It looks like the Starbolt known as Dragonfly is back and is working for Shrall. King Shrall sent our buzzing buddy to investigate the man who bought the Sentinels and the Lady Liberty android from Barbo. There may be more to the story here. But, we'll have to see. At this point you have to wonder who is really working for "Cyclone Consulting" here. We have four Starbolts "working" in the office and now we have Tanis down with the metahumans. The only saving grace here is that the higher ups don't suspect a thing! That's probably going to change soon enough.

    Speaking of the metahumans, we have now been properly introduced to the ladies on the team and their names are Heidi and Barbara aka Babs. Heidi's basically the tank of the team. Her powers include superstrength and invulnerability. Babs serves as a speedster. They also referenced someone who is a reject from the magical Order of Korun. Could he be another magic user? It's hard to say at the moment. The team has three more members and in time I'll give them names and powers. I just have to think about what powers to give them. Nothing is set in stone except for the ladies. I really wanted to make one super strong and the other super fast. I'll work on the others' abilities soon!

    It looks like the organization they all work for doubles as a cult that wants to perfect the human genome. This falls in line with Crazy Steve's lover picking him to be the father of his child. She felt he was the best person to help usher in a new age for humanity. The people in the cult are obsessed with the idea of perfection through genetics and that includes metahuman DNA. This also falls in line with that attractive woman hitting on Firaxil earlier. She probably had her eyes on our Inobe friend and his genetic potential. I wonder what her reaction would have been if she knew he was an alien.

    We also got a little insight into one of the Alliance treaties. Hostile aliens must visit Earth and any other Alliance world via diplomatic channels or else there'll be severe consequence such as military retaliations and the like. Makes sense give how many times the bugs invaded Earth.

    The next few comics are going to be interesting as our heroes will have to deal with the cult, the androids, Tanis buzzing around and of course their original target: Crazy Steve. But, before we get there we're going to have our annual Halloween comic next week! Should be a good one!

See ya then!
