Volume 4 Episode 3 – Page 31

Welcome back to the December update of Cosmic Dash; what is this new wrinkle in this story of the Falling Star Syndicate?

In case you missed the first update, it was over at Serreven.com as we continued the Drakar story. Last time at CosmicDash.com, Mara and Alix more or less completed their mission. However, here we go back to Alix and her dropping in on the mysterious engineer Vomu Tyl. Just another twist and turn in “Ladies’ Fight.”

This would be CD.4.3.31 for those counting by the way. Anyway, please drop a comment or share the page if you can, I really appreciate it.

Other News

The news update at Serreven.com yesterday covered Fang of Triseria, which is a good werewolf story I have been writing that you should be reading. Seriously, give it a try, there is a big new chapter dropping on New Year’s Day.

Today though, I wanted to draw attention to The Shmoofy Experiment. I’ll just give you the short pitch here:

I used to draw a silly teddy bear in all my work and still do. Other people had been doing that for a while and I had been tracking them since about 2006. Eventually, the list was lost, but then recovered a partial one, and I am starting to track Shmoofy appearances again.

So if you draw comics and need a logo or a background element, why not Shmoofy the Bear?

Lore: Digital Memories of a Syndicate Assassin

Digitizing memories is not an uncommon thing in the Silver Spiral Galaxy. It is an expensive process and is usually preserved for figures in governments and major industries. The common denominator is the cost of such a process. Memory partitioning and alteration is also a technology developed by the Grey, specifically, and is again very, very expensive.

These tools have also been employed by assassins and criminals as they have their uses. Alix’s appeared to be an escape.

The following is a transcript for Cosmic Dash Volume 4, Episode 3 – Page 31.

Panel One

Establishing shot of Vomu Tyl’s homestead in the evening. The sky has grown reddish.

Caption: Elsewhere…

Vomu (off-screen): So you don’t remember me at all?

Panel Two

Alix Motari sits on a table in a crowded room full of gadgets and projects. Vomu is plugging in a connection between his datapad and Alix’s arm implant. She looks away from Vomu.

Alix: No, I just had a record of you in an encrypted file. You seemed to be key to a number of these datafiles. I have about six years of scrambled memories, from what I discovered.

Panel Three

Vomu has elevated her arm as she continues to glance away. He fills in some information.

Vomu: Apparently I was very good at the memory-transfer, but not good enough. I didn’t expect you to find me for quite a while. Or ever, to be honest.

Panel Four

Alex glances at Vomu and leans toward him, her stare is hard.

Alix: So you know why I have so much information regarding the Falling Star Syndicate?

Panel Five

Vomu has a concerned expression, even given the large lense covering his left eye. He is still holding Alix’s wrist.

Vomu: Kid… you were one of their greatest assassins.

Panel Six

Alix’s eyes are wide and she looks like she is in shock.
