The
growing cold war between IO and Skywatch heats up, as both sides make plans for
the day when they meet on the battlefield (actual or otherwise). But for now,
it’s all on the down-low, as IO formulates a plan to digitally infiltrate
Skywatch in search of evidence of treaty violations. And Skywatch? Well,
apparently they don’t think much of the treaty itself anyway.
A
centerpiece of the story is a flashback sequence featuring the aircraft from
the old UFO TV series. The show was
produced by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson of Thunderbirds
fame. For those of us who grew up before Star
Wars, it remains a cult favorite.
MEANWHILE…
Angie Spica seems to have perfected a means of upgrading her weaponized suit, thanks
to the technology of Jacob Marlowe. This enables it to literally become a part
of her. And there may be more secrets to be revealed and players to find their
position before the S hits the F.
This
was a much better issue, as I feel some genuine narrative progress has been
made. My biggest complaint with this series is its cast. Though everyone seems
to have a specific role, I am unable to remember anyone month-to-month. A
refresher course regarding who’s who and their relationships to others would be
very helpful.
