And after much consideration, I'll throw my two pence about the whole thing into the ring.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was a little disappointed that there was no sign of Kirika, but was amused by the presence of Max. It also seems that Geoff is developing his OWN coterie of "Women You Don't {REDACTED} With", considering Max, Konoko, and Sister Destiny.

Lain I know, Penance is Penance, but more interestingly adapted here, and I have not run into Saya before. I give a small prayer of thanks to Her Divine Shadow that Cutey Honey has not yet bounced- so to speak- into the scene.

Mike the Astrodroid... I was thinking "Where have I seen that before?" when he was described, and then I realised that I was thinking of the robot from the ancient, Westernised "Battle of the Planets". Was I on the right lines with that? The new version of the body made me think "Mellowed Cylon", though.

The Tuncer-with-bubblegum thing reminded me of when I was playing the B5 RPG. I was playing a Pak'ma'ra. I told the GM that I would start to chew bubblegum in front of the person we needed info from... needless to say, he folded.

And we all know that there REALLY should have been a pink pyramid on the outside of the bank!

Finally, one thing I just didn't understand, and would like some enlightenment. "She looked as if she'd just pulled an all-nighter in a 19th Century shirt factory." Um? All I'm getting is entertaining images of Jessica Alba as a result. Not complaining about that, but I don't understand the reference.

All in all- Great fun! I hope to see more of this team. :)
