Twenty days ago, Cannon Fodder and the New Misfits stopped a
Xinerama Brother from imploding the Looniverse. In the weeks
before that, they dismantled the Crime Empire, the largest
criminal organization their world has ever seen, and *that* was
after repelling an invasion from the Evilverse.

But the work of a net.hero never ends. The Xinerama Brotherhood
is still out there somewhere, and they will inevitably attack
again (Cannon Fodder went looking for them). The Ultimate Gnab,
the terrible Evilverse weapon which the Xinerama intended to
use, was stolen by a cloaked figure which we're assuming to be
the Time Crapper, self-proclaimed mortal enemy of the New
Misfits (who went looking for him.) And, worst of all, Pantra
decided it would be fun to stick around. OUCH, watch those
claws!

"This doesn't look like a spaceship," Parking Karma Kid
said, kicking up a cloud of dust from the spongy gray soil
beneath his feet. "It definitely has more of a planet-y feel
to it."

"Who gave the order to activate the transmatter?" Ultimate
Ninja asked.

"None of us did," Ordinary Lady replied. "There must have
been some kind of a glitch with the computer. Deja Dude should
have us back within minutes."

"I sure hope so," Girlwatcher said, staring through his
binoculars. "Although it doesn't look like there's anything
dangerous out here... just those high, curving mountains in the
distance..."

"It might help," Cynical Lass said, "if you pointed those
things away from my chest."

"Oh. Right," said Girlwatcher, blushing through his
helmet as he faced the opposite direction. "Now it's just gray,
gray, gray as far as the eye can see."

Tick.

"Londonbroil, I'm bored," Barrage said, idly smashing a
pair of asteroids together with the flick of a paw.

"You don't say?" said the thin man with the flamethrower,
watching through the vast stained-glass window as the little
silver dot of the heroes' spaceship weaved its way through yet
another shower of planetary debris. "And here I thought the
whole picking things up and knocking them to bits against each
other was what you enjoyed most."

Tick.

"Why hasn't Kid Kirby wiped the sky clean of these things
yet?" Captain Rat Creature asked, his hamster's paws tearing
the sickle-shaped (and, he felt, wholly unnecessary, since they
offered no advantage in space) wings from an enemy fighter.

"The Power Kirby is not to be used lightly," Captain
Continuity said, dropping like a diver onto the fuselage of
another craft and severing the nose cone with his feet. "I'm
sure it troubles the Kirbian to use it to take even one life,
let alone the hundreds he's currently fac...ugggh!"

The Knight of Continuity fell back as the cockpit of the
spaceship opened and the pilot squirted a sticky grey goo in
his face. As the substance hardened in the chill of space,
Captain Continuity stared in disbelief at the face of the pilot.

"Cheesecake-Eater Lad?" he gasped.

Right, so:
Assessment period is coming up in two weeks, and before then I have a
bazillion different things I have to write. This means that Yarns #15
probably won't be arriving until mid-late June, unless some spare time
pops into existence from nowhere.

So, have my Adveng 'Individual & Society' composition; HYMENOPTERA! It
got full marks (despite being cramped by a two page limit) along with
the following comment:
"Very clever and engaging. The word 'one' is overused and a little
annoying but the different meanings of the word evoke some interesting
notions of the relationships between the individual and society.
Sophisticated use of language."

---=-{( HYMENOPTERA )}-=---

One supposes that there was always something wrong with one, but one
could never guess as to what it would be. If one could see into the
past, see the first signs of it � whatever `it' really is � maybe then
one would know. But such thought is what makes one so repulsive; such
notions as ‘seeing into the past’, they’re what does this to one.

Perhaps one should begin more clearly.

Yesterday, Cannon Fodder and the New Misfits stopped a Xinerama
Brother from imploding the Looniverse. In the weeks before
that, they dismantled the Crime Empire, the largest criminal
organization their world has ever seen, and *that* was after
repelling an invasion from the Evilverse.

You'd imagine they'd be very busy now tapping each other in the
back, wouldn't you?

But the work of a net.hero never ends. The Xinerama Brotherhood
is still out there somewhere, and they will inevitably attack
again. The Ultimate Gnab, the terrible Evilverse weapon which
the Xinerama intended to use, was stolen by a cloaked figure
which we're assuming to be the Time Crapper, self-proclaimed
mortal enemy of the New Misfits. (Yeah, go figure. We don't
know why either.) And, worst of all, Pantra decided it would be
fun to stick around. OUCH, watch those claws!

Back on Sunday, April 57th 2007, Cannon Fodder's and Innovative-
Offense Boy's enjoyment of a kiwis-versus-mind-controlled-
insects battle was interrupted by a strange figure. His skin
was a deep, but reflexive black, like an LCD screen when it's
off. For hair, he had three thick strands, running from his
eyebrows to the back of his neck; one red, one green, and one
blue. His eyes were red, and he had sideburns -- green on his
right side, blue on his left. He told them he was a rogue
member of the Xinerama Brotherhood, self-appointed guardians of
the Usenetverse, and that his brothers had decided to wipe out
the Looniverse, for its annoying insistence on using
alt.comics.lnh in addition to rec.arts.comics.creative.

Almost an year later, or what would be an year if April wasn't
dragging on indefinitely, on April 365th, he returned. Cannon
Fodder was still around, but Innovative-Offense Boy, Kid Not-
Appearing-In-Any-Beige-Midnight-Story, and a few other
characters which had relevant roles earlier in the series had
already disappeared, like most LNH members, after being chosen
as LNH leader for a day.

Was a hackemon ever mentioned that corresponds to eevee? And if not,
dibs on calling it "eepeecee"?

best,
Lalo Martins
