NOTE: The image in the upper left corner of the third panel is the director of T.N.A., published by RodS, used with permission. No, George did not believe her - he knows Thomlinson Nicholsby Associates doesn't have interns because it doesn't exist! It's a front for Terminus Nexus Aeolus, a privately funded intelligence agency that meddles in affairs far beyond this country or even this planet - nay, beyond this universe even! No, George is merely giving Annette enough rope to hang herself with. Clearly, our heroine is in over her head. Clearly, she is being taken in. Clearly, she doesn't know what she's dealing with. Clearly, she's going to move ahead, heedless of (clueless to?) the danger. Clearly, nothing about this situation is clear! What exactly is she getting into? Will she survive? Will anyone rescue her? Does she need rescue? These and other tantalizing questions will be answered next episode when we'll hear... What's that? No questions will be answered? Then why do you let me carry on like this? Why am I doing this? Ughh, NEVERMIND! ----------------------------------------------------------- This story begins here. The next episode is here. RodS' serial, Breitlenger Jar, can be found here.
