And... <BR /> <BR />Luke? <BR /> <BR />Mornin', beautiful.. <BR />You're up bright and early... <BR />Now I've got me casts off I wanna get back in top shape. <BR /> <BR />Hey, that's the Wombat-Man I know and love. <BR />Good to see you back, baby. <BR />Back and ready to kick me some Baxter Gang arse. <BR /> <BR />You know Dr. Phillos said to avoid combat for at least another week. <BR />Meh - I feel fine. <BR /> <BR />... Besides, Oz Magellan said they were onto the Baxters. <BR />Oz Magellan - What a pack of useless wankers. It's been three months since Stretch and Clobber escaped and the "magnificent" Oz Magellan ain't found 'em. <BR /> <BR />I know you need some personal payback on the Baxters, Luke - but don't go rubbing Oz Magellan up the wrong way. <BR /> <BR />Not all of them are useless - or wankers. See if you can't liase with them. They might be more open to pooling resources than you realise. <BR /> <BR />Yeah. Okay. <BR /> <BR />Whoa! You're agreeing with me? <BR />Yeah. Ha! Y'know... I've been doin' a lot of thinkin', about what you said before ya left for Thailand. <BR /> <BR />You were right. I have been acting like a prick since I got injured... And, Jeeze, Annie... I almost lost ya forever last week. If Epoch hadn't saved yer plane I wouldn't have been able to live with myself. <BR /> <BR />The last thing you would have remembered of me wuz "Luke McDonald - Major League Arsehole." <BR />Don't beat yourself up over it, baby. <BR /> <BR />It was a huge wake-up call. I'm a new man, Annie. No more 'Mr. Selfish Prick." <BR />I want us to be a real team again. I loves ya! <BR />Hmm. So I see... <BR /> <BR />Heheheh. Yeah. Since I came off those painkiller meds I've been horny as hell. <BR />Ya wanna root? <BR />Ha!

This shit just won't wash out! <BR />I'll have to dye my hair... <BR />Charisma... <BR /> <BR />Jones. What do you want? <BR />I'm hoping we can put today behind us. Y'know... what happens on the field, stays on the field. I'd really like for us to be friends. <BR /> <BR />Unf! <BR />Slam! <BR /> <BR />That is never going to happen. <BR /> <BR />Hey, hey! A little privacy here! <BR /> <BR />Ouch. That bruise looks nasty. She didn't break any bones, did she? <BR />No. I'll be fine, Nadine. (God. I'm stupid!) <BR /> <BR />You tried, Kaycee. That's all that matters. If Charisma doesn't... <BR /> <BR />Whatever. I've got better things to do, like starting that assignment on jurisdictional law... <BR /> <BR />I'm more worried about the wrath of Meeka Chi than anything Charisma can...? Oh, hey! I've got an e-mail back from Brian! <BR /> <BR />Your friend in Sydney? Wow, it's been almost a week since you wrote to him, eh? <BR />Yeah, I'd kind of forgotten. <BR />He must've been composing some great apology for fighting with you... <BR /> <BR />So don't keep us in suspense. What's he say? <BR />'dear kaycee. please NEVER contact me again - i have nothing further <BR />to say to you. thanks. brian.' <BR /> <BR />The Lonsdale Residence, Sydney... <BR /> <BR />Sorry, (Kaycee / nice girl human)... it's for the best... <BR /> <BR />Sniff... sniff... <BR /> <BR />Two unknown scents...? <BR />Sniff... <BR />Two (people / big humans) downstairs... in the (kitchen / yummy food room)... <BR /> <BR />What's going on? <BR />... Any result is likely to be years away, Mr. Lonsdale. But I can assure you that Brian will be very comfortable living at Gen-Ex Clinic... <BR /> <BR />Ro-one is going to expuhriment on me! <BR />Son... it's in your best interest. <BR />D... don't you want to be well again, Brian? <BR /> <BR />It's Buh-relvis! Buh-relvis!! Buh-rian is dead! I may be a fucking freak but there's rothing wrong with me! I'm rot going to be a frucking rab rat! <BR /> <BR />Sedate him, Kurtzman! <BR />Sorry, mate - you'll thank us when you calm... <BR />Oh, crap! <BR />You... you're shooting at me? <BR /> <BR />Grrrarr! <BR />Argh! <BR />SMASH! <BR /> <BR />Grrrrarrrr! <BR />Yaaa!

Stop it! <BR />Oh, God! <BR />phoot phoot klik klik klik <BR /> <BR />thut thut <BR />nnnnn... <BR /> <BR />You'll rever take me arive! <BR />Shit! <BR /> <BR />We'll track you down, Brian! <BR />Fruck you! <BR />And it's Buh-relvis!!! http://graphicsmash.com/series.php?view=archive&chapter=12634&name=magellan<a href="http://graphicsmash.com/series.php?view=archive&chapter=12634&name=magellan">Magellan - Presage</a><BR /><BR />Some hours later... <BR />An exciting day all around, I must say. <BR />Fortunate, too, for those airline passengers. <BR />Yes. Epoch reports there were minimal injuries and only one fatality. <BR /> <BR />Certainly many fewer had you not had that premonition, Karma. <BR />Only doing what I can to help, Mary. <BR /> <BR />Ah. Here's my place. I'd ask you in but I'm still settling in and, well, you know how it is... boxes and mess. <BR /> <BR />Councilor Joffe, before you go, um, I'd like to know if today's exercise convinced you that Kaycee Jones has a rightful place here at the Academy? <BR /> <BR />Oh no, Dr. Foster, not at all. In fact I intend to put forward a recommendation to Council that Jones' cadetship at Magellan be annulled. <BR /> <BR />Good evening to you all. <BR /> <BR />Recommendation to annul? She can't do that! <BR />Well... yes, she can. But why? Jones is... <BR />I'm sure Karma has her reasons, Freya. <BR /> <BR />We'll have to wait until she puts her recommendation to the Academic Council to hear them. <BR />I can't see how she'll have much of a case. <BR />Yes. I've been keeping track of Jones' progress as you requested, Councillor. <BR /> <BR />Is there any chance of Golah Beh returning from her sabbatical before the wheels on this get in motion? <BR />Unlikely, Tom. <BR />A shame. Gola was a great councillor. A great teacher. <BR />One of the best. <BR />With all respect - what was Gola thinking, naming Karma Joffe to take her place? <BR /> <BR />Hmmm... Premonitia - Karma Joffe - had been out of the fold so long it surprised me when Gola nominated her as her Council replacement... <BR />Apparently they had some greater affinity from the old days that I was unaware of. Never mind. I will meet with Karma - talk it thru. Chances are she's being too zealous trying to establish her role on the Council.... Nothing I can't sort out. <BR /> <BR />Karma's quarters <BR />Lights on... dim. <BR />CLAP <BR /> <BR />CLAP CLAP CLAP <BR />Good show. <BR />What the blazes do you mean? <BR /> <BR />"No! This is terrible! A disaster!" <BR />Don't not mock me. <BR />Tch. No need to get snarky. <BR />I'll have premonitions with all the dramatic flair I think is necessary... <BR /> <BR />Why the plane crash? I don't like messing with the way of things - it creates unknown variables. <BR />Fah. How was I to know that fat-head Epoch would have enough time to save the goddamed plane? Hahah! And I certainly never expected that sending him off would screw with his bitch daughter's head. Seeing Charisma lose it today was just too delicious for words. <BR /> <BR />Karma. <BR />Yes, Gola, dear? <BR />Iwish you would reconsider your forays outside - I fear your cover is in jeopardy. <BR />How so? <BR /> <BR />Freya Foster grows increasingly suspicious of you. <BR />Well, I am picking on her favorite pet. <BR /> <BR />This goes beyond her personal antipathy towards you... <BR />The null-field I project to keep us shielded from telepathic probes seems to also prevent her from "vybing" your emotional state. <BR /> <BR />That's a good thing, isn't it? <BR />Yes and no. The anomaly of it disturbs her. <BR /> <BR />Freya Foster's of no concern... I'll deal with her in due course. http://graphicsmash.com/series.php?view=archive&chapter=12554&name=magellan<a href="http://graphicsmash.com/series.php?view=archive&chapter=12554&name=magellan">Magellan - The Leap</a><BR /><BR />Nadine and Gifford are out of pool...! <BR />Keep moving! <BR />No time for scuba, Mudgey - take a deep breath! <BR />Chrismaaaa! <BR /> <BR />Woohoo! What a way to travel! <BR />Hey, Jones, Fatima! <BR />SPLASH SPLISH THUMP <BR />Loved the gal-on-gal action in the pool! <BR /> <BR />What does Sioni mean... "gal-on-gal action"? <BR />Wooohooo! <BR />Uh... I'll explain later. <BR /> <BR />I leap first - catch you on other side. <BR /> <BR />No! Wait! <BR /> <BR />Nadine and Gifford - they'll fight you over there. <BR /> <BR />I could beat them. <BR />We're a team, remember! <BR />They're clear... <BR />Go! I'll get a run up. <BR /> <BR />It's only four meters. It's only four meters... <BR /> <BR />I got you, Kaycee! I got you! <BR /> <BR />Hey! <BR />No she hasn't! <BR />Uffff! <BR /> <BR />Time to skirmish, Jones! <BR />Kaff! Splut! <BR /> <BR />Come here. <BR /> <BR />You want to be a superhero, Jones? <BR />I'll give you the opportunity to prove yourself. <BR />Unnf! <BR /> <BR />Take me on, come on. Let's see how good you really are... <BR />She's trying to hide it, but she seems... fatigued? <BR />What sort of bullshit is this, Charisma? <BR /> <BR />You're calling bullshit on me? Hundreds get rejected for cadetship at Magellan, regardless of their power - and yet you make it in. That's what's bullshit! <BR /> <BR />I hope her reflexes are slower too... <BR />Even Wilson, pathetic as he is, has some talent with his mind-spaz trick. <BR />Hey! <BR />But you've got nothing, Jones. Why are you here at all? <BR /> <BR />Me? Why are you here? Pop stardom not enough to make your daddy proud of you? <BR />What? Shut up! <BR /> <BR />Where is he now? <BR />Kaycee... what are you doing? <BR />Oh, yeah - he left... had somewhere better to be... <BR />I said... <BR /> <BR />Shut up! <BR />Nnnff! <BR />A bit slow, Charisma. Getting tired? <BR />Hey! <BR /> <BR />Hahaha! Hiding behind Mudge? Pathetic! <BR />Nnnnn... No touchy! <BR />Not hiding... <BR /> <BR />Maneuvering. <BR />Charisma! Move! She's... <BR />Huh? <BR /> <BR />Don't tattle, Mudge... <BR />Nnnnyyyargh!! <BR /> <BR />Quick, Fatima! Run! Slide! Move! <BR />Arrrggh! Fuck!!! ... pain!! <BR />W... what...?? <BR />No!! <BR /> <BR />Now you've really pissed me off! <BR /> <BR />Fatima! <BR />Ooof! <BR /> <BR />Don't think getting out of the skirmish zone is going to stop me from... <BR /> <BR />Hands off! <BR />SPLORCH <BR />glllllb! <BR /> <BR />That take fight out of her! Come! Come! <BR />Urrrrrgh! Glub! Gross!!! <BR /> <BR />Fatima, that was truly disgusting! How excellent! <BR />What? Ink is a natural defence for my people... <BR /> <BR />You have key one? <BR />Yes, here. <BR />BOOP <BR /> <BR />Sonar! Place three - good work, partner. <BR />Yeah! Wow! We only have to sleep with one eye open from now on. <BR />Disqualified? <BR />Attempting to engage in combat outside a designated skirmish zone... http://graphicsmash.com/series.php?view=archive&chapter=12507&name=magellan<a href="http://graphicsmash.com/series.php?view=archive&chapter=12507&name=magellan">Magellan - The Pool</a><BR /><BR />Gotta keep up the pace. <BR />Fatima and I have a lead but I can't see it lasting... <BR /> <BR />Yep. <BR />Gifford and Nadine make us look like snails. <BR /> <BR />And now Louis and Sioni. <BR />I'll help you with scuba gear... <BR />No. Forget it. <BR /> <BR />Huh? <BR />I'll let you do my breathing... <BR /> <BR />Sonar! <BR /> <BR />You can hear my thinking but I will not be hearing you, yes? <BR />Mm. <BR />Weird how Fatima's telepathy only works underwater... <BR /> <BR />Breathe out all air and touch lips when you need me to be breathing for you. <BR />Got no idea if we can really do this. I should've practiced it when she wanted to. <BR /> <BR />Just my luck if I end up drowning! <BR /> <BR />Only one way to find out. <BR />Mm...! <BR />Already? <BR /> <BR />Breathe in deep. <BR />Yep. It works alright. <BR /> <BR />Now we've sorted out the breathing, time to access our next key... <BR />Coded in calculus... will take me few minutes to... <BR />Easy. Answer is 10.75. <BR /> <BR />What? I am good at math! <BR /> <BR />BIP BIP BIP BIP BDEEP <BR /> <BR />BIP <BR /> <BR />I have key - let us go! <BR /> <BR />Home stretch now. <BR />Kaff. Wow! Wild! <BR /> <BR />Meanwhile, on the tower... <BR />Finally. <BR />OK... puff... I know I am useless with... huff... climbink of rope. <BR />I am in mood to zap somethink now. <BR /> <BR />Zap Lyta. High voltage. <BR />High voltage? But... <BR />She can take it. <BR /> <BR />Gnnn! <BR />Muh... <BR />It'll stun her for a few minutes... <BR />I'll render Maya unconscious with a nerve pinch so she can't mind-mojo us. <BR /> <BR />Good. We are good! <BR />Stay alert, Anka. That was almost too easy. <BR /> <BR />It's like they're sleepwalking. <BR />A passive trance state - they think they've fought us and won.. <BR /> <BR />Mind tricks. There is no glory in that. <BR />So? It works, doesn't it? And Rochelle's hacking our key for us... <BR /> <BR />How much longer, Wilson? <BR />Look, I can't do this with you standing over me. <BR /> <BR />Isn't it time for you to go beat up Lyta some more? <BR />I'd love to... but we've agreed to have a rematch later. <BR /> <BR />Right now, she and I just want to finish this... <BR />And I want to catch up with Jones. <BR /> <BR />Arrgh! This is stupid! You are stupid! Even Jones hacked the code and you can't! <BR />Shut up, Charisma! <BR /> <BR />If you were a proper telepath, you could've read the encryption from her mind. <BR /> <BR />Where are you going? <BR />Jones touched her keyboard, didn't she? <BR /> <BR />And technically it's not cheating because... <BR />Just do it! <BR /> <BR />Nnnnn... <BR /> <BR />OK - now I know the encryption! I should be able to do that in the pool too... <BR />Good. Hurry up then! http://graphicsmash.com/series.php?view=archive&chapter=12413&name=magellan<a href="http://graphicsmash.com/series.php?view=archive&chapter=12413&name=magellan">Magellan - The Tower</a><BR /><BR />Meanwhile - Magellan... <BR />Cadets, you are about to participate in a great tradition here at Magellan. <BR />Hundreds of cadets before you have run this gauntlet as their first challenge. <BR />They learnt much about themselves and their fellow cadets... strengths... limitations... vulnerabilities. This challenge won't make or break you as a super-hero - but it will help you to grow. <BR /> <BR />Rochelle / Anka <BR /> <BR />Joe / Gregor <BR /> <BR />Chang / Jesus <BR /> <BR />Lyta / Maya <BR /> <BR />Chiq / Jemima <BR /> <BR />Charisma / Mudge <BR /> <BR />Kaycee / Fatima <BR /> <BR />Louis / Sioni <BR /> <BR />Fabian / Montana-Rose <BR /> <BR />Hugo / Jenna <BR /> <BR />Nadine / Gifford <BR /> <BR />Bill / Gabby <BR /> <BR />Please remember that finishing this challenge is your main objective here... not maiming your opponents. So... take your marks... <BR /> <BR />Go! <BR /> <BR />Hurry, Kaycee! <BR /> <BR />Most other teams are at top... <BR />Don't worry about them, Fatima. unf... just keep going! <BR /> <BR />Shortly... <BR />Here... let me give you "hand" up. <BR />unf... Don't need help... but thanks anyway. <BR /> <BR />We must work as team. <BR />I know. Sorry. <BR />Stay alert - here's the skirmish zone. <BR /> <BR />Charisma and Lyta are duking it out. <BR />Ufff! <BR />Bah! Stop tickling my chin! <BR />Sioni... Louis... sitting this one out, guys? <BR /> <BR />"Ha-ha", Jones. I'm sure Charisma will get around to kicking your butt, too. <BR />Shut up, man! Just get us out of these cuffs. <BR />Now I glad we not so fast up tower! <BR /> <BR />Should not we attack Mudge Wilson? <BR />No. It'd only attract Charisma's attention. <BR /> <BR />Keep an eye out for trouble while I hack the code for our first key... looks easy... sort of... <BR />Too late, Kaycee! We are attacked! <BR /> <BR />Reckon we'll take you gals out... and I don't mean "to dinner". <BR />God, Joe - I can't believe you said that! <BR />Okay, Jones - no more banter... need to be focused! <BR /> <BR />Gregor's the greatest threat... <BR />Take him down fast! <BR />Hey?! <BR />Arrg! <BR />KRAK <BR /> <BR />That hurt! <BR />Yow! Bio-plasma bolt! <BR />Vap! <BR /> <BR />... Gnnn! <BR />WAM <BR /> <BR />Good thing that blast missed, or I wouldn't have been able to feel my leg for a week! <BR />I could cuff Gregor but he'd still be able to use his blasts. <BR />A wiff of K.O. instead will do the trick. <BR />Cyka! <BR /> <BR />Fatima... What are you doing? <BR />Go gas, Joe! Go gas! <BR />Gahh...! Fatima! C... can't breathe....! <BR /> <BR />Gahhh! <BR /> <BR />hhhhhhhheyyyyyy! <BR />Look out! He could re-solidify anywhere! <BR />No he won't - I have his clothes... <BR /> <BR />And now I don't! <BR /> <BR />Nnnnoooooooo!! <BR />Until he makes clothes go gas too, or he wants to fight in nuddy, he has stupid power! <BR />God, Fatima - you're awful! Good work! Now if I can just hack this code... <BR /> <BR />Hold that thought, Lyta, dear... <BR />Ufff! <BR />Hey, Jones! Time to tango! <BR />SLAM! <BR /> <BR />Out of my way, eight legs - I want a word with our token norm. <BR />Ooof! <BR />Fatima! <BR /> <BR />Up you get, Jones! Still having fun playing "super-hero"? <BR />I'm not intimidated by you, Charisma... <BR /> <BR />Craven! Mortal! Running from a fight! <BR />Ufffff! <BR /> <BR />I wasn't "running," bitch - just giving you some rest time! <BR />I am a goddess - I need no "rest time"! <BR />Are you OK? <BR />Yes. I hope clash of egos buys us time... and dents Charisma's face. <BR /> <BR />I can get this. The encryption is based on a simple algorithm... If I just... <BR /> <BR />THUMP <BR />BIP <BR />Yes! I hacked it! <BR /> <BR />PIP <BR />And here's our first key... Let's scram! <BR /> <BR /> <BR />Don't go, Jones! I'm not thru with you yet. <BR />Too late, Charisma - we're out of the skirmish zone. <BR /> <BR />Oh, yeah? Well, as soon as dumb ass over there hacks our key, I'll be back on your tails! <BR />Hey! Who are you calling dumb? <BR /> <BR />Cut it out, Fatima, and get down the pole. <BR /> <BR />Hm. As usual, the action on the tower takes some expected and some very unexpected turns... <BR /> <BR />Lyta and Charisma trying to wipe the floor with each other... no surprise there. <BR /> <BR />Tom's giving them five minutes to cool off. Good call - they were in danger of injuring other cadets. <BR /> <BR />Both Mudge and Maya are struggling to hack the code - again, no surprise... but it is disappointing they haven't realised how their powers could help them. <BR /> <BR />Louis and Sioni have picked their cuffs and are hacking their code. Gifford and Nadine took out Bill and Gabby and now have their key. Both remarkable efforts. <BR /> <BR />But this is the biggest and most pleasing surprise of all... Kaycee Jones and Fatima Hussein are first to complete the tower leg. <BR /> <BR />How do you feel about that, Councillor Jones? Even though I can't get a vybe from you I've still got a pretty good idea... http://graphicsmash.com/series.php?view=archive&chapter=12226&name=magellan<a href="http://graphicsmash.com/series.php?view=archive&chapter=12226&name=magellan">Magellan - What goes up...</a><BR /><BR />Meanwhile - Flight X-92 to Thailand. 10,000 feet above the Timor Sea. <BR /> <BR />sign reads: Toilet <BR />KLIK <BR /> <BR />I was probably too hard on Luke... but he is worrying me... <BR /> <BR />When I get back to Sydney I'll... <BR />Mummy, that lady looks like a penguin! <BR />Shush!

He ripped our other wing off! <BR /> <BR />Ripped the other wing off? <BR />Oh, God! Epoch's gone evil!! <BR />He's going to kill us all! <BR />No - it makes sense! <BR /> <BR />Without the wing and engines the plane's more stable. He... <BR />What would you know, you stupid nun? And why are you sitting in my lap?! <BR /> <BR />WHUD <BR />Omigod! Omigod! Omigod! Omigod! <BR /> <BR />At least we've stopped falling! <BR />... Mostly... <BR />What is he doing? <BR /> <BR />Uh...

Listen up please! Sput! Sand in my mouth... <BR />Kerrrrrannnng <BR /> <BR />Alright! I know you're probably shaken-up... but I need you all out of, and away from, the plane ASAP! <BR /> <BR />God! I'd almost forgotten how amazing it feels to be in the room with that guy. <BR />Exit on that side, away from the fire... <BR />Heeee! I touched his cape!!! <BR /> <BR />I need those other exits open and the slides deployed. <BR />Cooool! <BR />SPRRRAANNNNG! <BR /> <BR />Keep it orderly, people... no pushing!

Probably from something flying around the cabin... No pulse... I'd say he's... <BR /> <BR />...Dead? <BR /> <BR />What the...? His neck tat... Same as the markings on that heisted artefact I've been chasing. <BR />WUMP <BR />Is there anything we can do for him? <BR />Uh... no. He's... um... with God now. <BR /> <BR />You'd best just get yourself off the plane... <BR />But what about you? <BR />Um... I need to give him last rites. <BR />I thought only priests could do that...? <BR /> <BR />Look - what does he care? He's dead! Now, get off the plane before I throw you off! <BR />Goodness! <BR /> <BR />This can't be a coincidence - he's got to have something to do with... huh...? <BR /> <BR />... What's this strapped to his body...? <BR /> <BR />Un-fucking believable!

This is terrible! Terrible! <BR /> <BR />What's wrong, Karma? <BR />Oh, Mary - I've just had a premonition! A disaster... terrible! <BR /> <BR />Epoch. He could stop it... I must speak to him immediately! <BR />Epoch! Epoch!! <BR /> <BR />What's the emergency? I can't get any 'vybe' from that new councilor. Not sure why, and it bugs me... <BR /> <BR />In five minutes, you say? <BR />Yes. Sorry I couldn't give you more warning. <BR /> <BR />I should make it in time... Damn. I had promised Charisma I'd watch her in the exercise - but this obviously cannot wait. <BR /> <BR />I'm sure she'll understand... <BR />whrrr <BR />... And I'm sure that she won't. <BR /> <BR />Wow... Something must be going on, eh? Epoch sure left in a hurry. <BR />Yeah. <BR /> <BR />And someone seems really unhappy about it, too... <BR /> <BR />Weird... I wouldn't have thought that having Daddy watch her work out would be a big deal for Charisma. <BR /> <BR />But I guess that's the least of my worries about her - number one concern for today has to be to not give her a chance to kick my arse... <BR />OK, cadets! Starting positions... <BR />Kaycee... I have butterfish in my stomach!
