It's sort of a way of getting two of my characters into a mission's story at the same time. I was working a story arc with one of Truss's characters the other day, and it took us a couple of days to get it done. The Silver Spectre started out helping with it, but on the second day I had a fit of altiasis and ended up playing a different character. It didn't seem right that the Spectre would've not shown up for the second half, though, so I worked him in that way. I don't want to spoil the arc in case anybody here hasn't done it, but the final mission is one of those jobs where you have to poke around a Council base wrecking computers in order to destroy the backups of some software they have.

What this article basically means is that they also had a backup at the old 5th Column Moonbase, which the Spectre knew about and a lot of the younger heroes nowadays don't, so while Truss's character and my alt were doing the main mission, he was calling in a favor with the British Rocket Group and going to the moon to blow up the Council moonbase. :)

Heh, thanks, though looking back at it I see where Rolf missed one important detail; nowhere in the report does he mention what time the explosion happened. One would think, at least, that his editor might have caught that. Ah, well, maybe it was close to deadline. :)
