It's the End of Civilization as we know it. A mutagenic plague followed by a global war fought with disintegration weaponry has left much of the Earth a desert of fine powder and what remains of humanity fragmented into humans, animal-like mutants and bloodthirsty monstrosities with lots of teeth. The surface, still teeming with the mutagenic virus, has become the domain of the dreaded Topsiders; well-organized, technologically advanced, and heavily armed un-mutated humans sworn to exterminate mutations of any kind in order to clear the way for the eventual resurgence of a new, genetically clean humanity. Faced with annihilation, mutants and "impure" humans have retreated into the depths of the planet to form communities and hope to win, or at least survive, what may prove to be mankind's final war. Endtown is the continuing story of one of those communities.

Today’s Wednesday….so…..they should make the control room on Friday. Maybe we start rolling into Flask’s backstory on Monday? I hope, I hope. Unless the AI takes the ditto…PZOW…and the others can’t keep up.

DOL1, I was laughing about his pants. If Holly is 3 ft. tall, then AM’s legs are like 7 or 8 ft. long! His femors alone must be 5 ft. He’s like a clown on stilts…quite apropriate actually.

Hmm, the ditto is not just held by the AI. It seems to be melded with it in panel 4. Wonder if the AI gains the ditto’s knowledge, including sight (if that’s even an option)?

We now know what the dittos are, sort of
Charter member of
Little creatures who seem to make sport of
Mimic work done en masse
But this Marx is an … idiot
Who can’t see that this run was abortive
It seems likely now he’s never seen
The control room, and never did glean
Any sort of a clue
That the next thing to do
Is to go there. He’s flakey, not mean
But his flakiness comes with a price
He pretends to be cooler than ice
He’s so suave, debonaire
But that door led to air
Nearly killed them! And that’s far from nice
So the dittos have heard what he said
One “scout group” has succeeded and sped
Back to make a report
With a tail of a sort
Does Marx not have a brain in his head?

Wow. Is the thingy of lines made of the same stuff as the star fellow? I hope it can still tell what he saw!
Really long legs freak me out. I was at you tube just browsing and happened across one about mutants from chernoble. This boy had one extremely long leg. Somehow I didn’t freak at anything else in the clip, but that kid haunts my memory. You can’t un-see something like that. Burrr .

The winners of the Ursa Major Awards will be announced at Califur, June 1-3. I don’t know which date exactly the award announcements will be. http://www.califur.com/2012/

There are any number of ways now that Flask can be disabled. Any illusion at all can be put in front of her. Illusion of Wally with a gun. Illusion of the room in flames. Illusion of a fake control panel.
I don’t think it will be that easy.
The ships controls are responding to her last command. She doesn’t have to steer the thing. If she does nothing, if she has a breakdown, if she is killed, the controls will still follow that order. I don’t think Marx can countermand it, as I seriously doubt he has yet been recognised by the ship as its lawful captain.
The heroes have to do more than take Flask down. They have to persuade her to issue a retraction. And they’ll be doing it against the clock.
I think some strong emotion is coming our way.

And it’s quite possible, the way Mr Neathery writes his stories, that Flask will destroy the city. I can’t rely on him to guarantee a happy ending all round. The heroes will live, but will thousands die, or will they not? I really don’t know what’s going to happen, and I’m scared.
