Whew! Got this one finished and published just 7 hours or so behind schedule. Today I am packing and moving again, leaving Larkspur and heading towards Vallejo. Cheri and I will be car camping for two nights until our next pet sit starts, so if anyone has any recommendations for things to see in the Bay Area I am all ears.
Oh. Also, big time tragedy. Looks like for the first time since the Justice Rangers were mostly killed off, death has occurred in the pages of Kickman. We’ve lost some Kick Boys, so let’s have a moment of silence for out deft-footed militia.

Ok, back to whatever you were doing. Especially if you are reading this on your work computer.
Well Persephone IS the goddess of life and death, so…
I think he meant the mole dude.
Ooooh, that’s not good. Persephone’s (probably) how they were sneaking around the city.
Addendum: If Persephone was their extraction. They’re screwed.
Ooh, things aren’t looking good for the good guys. Interesting that even Grayhawk didn’t plan for such a debacle, particularly after retorting “Maybe” to Kickman’s evaluation that this would be a cakewalk.
He also mentioned taking the Battalion Triplets with minimal manpower, so I assume that while their losses are tragic, they aren’t that big a strategic setback.
That being said, maybe Mantis captain, Red-14 has overplayed his hand here. I don’t see how Grayhawk can fail to figure out that they’ve been ratted out. Unless the Battalion triplets happen to have another mole?
And, of course, who is he referring to as “Persephone”? Demeter’s daughter? The wife of the Merovingian in the Matrix films? A vocal communication device with someone called Percival? So many questions, still and always…
