Uh... bad dream...
Can't even remember it now...
Something about... the Baxter Gang? And...

Luke?

Mornin', beautiful..
You're up bright and early...
Now I've got me casts off I wanna get back in top shape.

Hey, that's the Wombat-Man I know and love.
Good to see you back, baby.
Back and ready to kick me some Baxter Gang arse.

You know Dr. Phillos said to avoid combat for at least another week.
Meh - I feel fine.

... Besides, Oz Magellan said they were onto the Baxters.
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.

I know you need some personal payback on the Baxters, Luke - but don't go rubbing Oz Magellan up the wrong way.

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.

Yeah. Okay.

Whoa! You're agreeing with me?
Yeah. Ha! Y'know... I've been doin' a lot of thinkin', about what you said before ya left for Thailand.

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.

The last thing you would have remembered of me wuz "Luke McDonald - Major League Arsehole."
Don't beat yourself up over it, baby.

It was a huge wake-up call. I'm a new man, Annie. No more 'Mr. Selfish Prick."
I want us to be a real team again. I loves ya!
Hmm. So I see...

So... take your marks... Go! Hurry, Kaycee! Most other teams are at top... Don't worry about them, Fatima. unf... just keep going! Shortly... Here... let me give you "hand" up. unf... Don't need help... but thanks anyway. We must work as team. I know. Sorry. Stay alert - here's the skirmish zone. Charisma and Lyta are duking it out. Ufff! Bah! Stop tickling my chin! Sioni... Louis... sitting this one out, guys? "Ha-ha", Jones. I'm sure Charisma will get around to kicking your butt, too. Shut up, man! Just get us out of these cuffs. Now I glad we not so fast up tower! Should not we attack Mudge Wilson? No. It'd only attract Charisma's attention. Keep an eye out for trouble while I hack the code for our first key... looks easy... sort of... Too late, Kaycee! We are attacked! Reckon we'll take you gals out... and I don't mean "to dinner". God, Joe - I can't believe you said that! Okay, Jones - no more banter... need to be focused! Gregor's the greatest threat... Take him down fast! Hey?! Arrg! KRAK That hurt! Yow! Bio-plasma bolt! Vap! ... Gnnn! WAM Good thing that blast missed, or I wouldn't have been able to feel my leg for a week! I could cuff Gregor but he'd still be able to use his blasts. A wiff of K.O. instead will do the trick. Cyka! Fatima... What are you doing? Go gas, Joe! Go gas! Gahh...! Fatima! C... can't breathe....! Gahhh! hhhhhhhheyyyyyy! Look out! He could re-solidify anywhere! No he won't - I have his clothes... And now I don't! Nnnnoooooooo!! Until he makes clothes go gas too, or he wants to fight in nuddy, he has stupid power! God, Fatima - you're awful! Good work! Now if I can just hack this code... Hold that thought, Lyta, dear... Ufff! Hey, Jones! Time to tango! SLAM! Out of my way, eight legs - I want a word with our token norm. Ooof! Fatima! Up you get, Jones! Still having fun playing "super-hero"? I'm not intimidated by you, Charisma... Craven! Mortal! Running from a fight! Ufffff! I wasn't "running," bitch - just giving you some rest time! I am a goddess - I need no "rest time"! Are you OK? Yes. I hope clash of egos buys us time... and dents Charisma's face. I can get this. The encryption is based on a simple algorithm... If I just... THUMP BIP Yes! I hacked it! PIP And here's our first key... Let's scram! Don't go, Jones! I'm not thru with you yet. Too late, Charisma - we're out of the skirmish zone. Oh, yeah? Well, as soon as dumb ass over there hacks our key, I'll be back on your tails! Hey! Who are you calling dumb? Cut it out, Fatima, and get down the pole. Hm. As usual, the action on the tower takes some expected and some very unexpected turns... Lyta and Charisma trying to wipe the floor with each other... no surprise there. Tom's giving them five minutes to cool off. Good call - they were in danger of injuring other cadets. 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. 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. But this is the biggest and most pleasing surprise of all... Kaycee Jones and Fatima Hussein are first to complete the tower leg. 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... Magellan - The Tower

Meanwhile - Magellan...
Cadets, you are about to participate in a great tradition here at Magellan.
Hundreds of cadets before you have run this gauntlet as their first challenge.
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.

Please remember that finishing this challenge is your main objective here... not maiming your opponents. So... take your marks...

Go!

Hurry, Kaycee!

Most other teams are at top...
Don't worry about them, Fatima. unf... just keep going!

Shortly...
Here... let me give you "hand" up.
unf... Don't need help... but thanks anyway.

We must work as team.
I know. Sorry.
Stay alert - here's the skirmish zone.

Charisma and Lyta are duking it out.
Ufff!
Bah! Stop tickling my chin!
Sioni... Louis... sitting this one out, guys?

"Ha-ha", Jones. I'm sure Charisma will get around to kicking your butt, too.
Shut up, man! Just get us out of these cuffs.
Now I glad we not so fast up tower!

Should not we attack Mudge Wilson?
No. It'd only attract Charisma's attention.

Keep an eye out for trouble while I hack the code for our first key... looks easy... sort of...
Too late, Kaycee! We are attacked!

Reckon we'll take you gals out... and I don't mean "to dinner".
God, Joe - I can't believe you said that!
Okay, Jones - no more banter... need to be focused!

Gregor's the greatest threat...
Take him down fast!
Hey?!
Arrg!
KRAK

That hurt!
Yow! Bio-plasma bolt!
Vap!

... Gnnn!
WAM

Good thing that blast missed, or I wouldn't have been able to feel my leg for a week!
I could cuff Gregor but he'd still be able to use his blasts.
A wiff of K.O. instead will do the trick.
Cyka!

Fatima... What are you doing?
Go gas, Joe! Go gas!
Gahh...! Fatima! C... can't breathe....!

Gahhh!

hhhhhhhheyyyyyy!
Look out! He could re-solidify anywhere!
No he won't - I have his clothes...

And now I don't!

Nnnnoooooooo!!
Until he makes clothes go gas too, or he wants to fight in nuddy, he has stupid power!
God, Fatima - you're awful! Good work! Now if I can just hack this code...

Hold that thought, Lyta, dear...
Ufff!
Hey, Jones! Time to tango!
SLAM!

Out of my way, eight legs - I want a word with our token norm.
Ooof!
Fatima!

Up you get, Jones! Still having fun playing "super-hero"?
I'm not intimidated by you, Charisma...

Craven! Mortal! Running from a fight!
Ufffff!

I wasn't "running," bitch - just giving you some rest time!
I am a goddess - I need no "rest time"!
Are you OK?
Yes. I hope clash of egos buys us time... and dents Charisma's face.

I can get this. The encryption is based on a simple algorithm... If I just...

THUMP
BIP
Yes! I hacked it!

PIP
And here's our first key... Let's scram!

Don't go, Jones! I'm not thru with you yet.
Too late, Charisma - we're out of the skirmish zone.

Oh, yeah? Well, as soon as dumb ass over there hacks our key, I'll be back on your tails!
Hey! Who are you calling dumb?

Cut it out, Fatima, and get down the pole.

And so the big day arrives.
You look cute in your referee's outfit.
Yeah - I know.
Nervous?
Not as much as the cadets are, I'd bet...

I like to ask anyway.

No! This is terrible! Terrible!

What's wrong, Karma?
Oh, Mary - I've just had a premonition! A disaster... terrible!

Epoch. He could stop it... I must speak to him immediately!
Epoch! Epoch!!

What's the emergency? I can't get any 'vybe' from that new councilor. Not sure why, and it bugs me...

Yes. Sorry I couldn't give you more warning.

I should make it in time... Damn. I had promised Charisma I'd watch her in the exercise - but this obviously cannot wait.
