ANNUALS

Kevin is back! Or, we’ve seen him recently in a bad way at the CZS. Where was he before that and how did he end up one of Worthington’s zombies? Find out now! 

Amazing Elroy, the Magician: “While Eakran had trusted a few of his employees with the knowledge of the secret compartment in his office where he hid various alien devices that was difficult to detect without looking for it, he never told anyone about the secret hatch in the floor of the south corridor. No one but Eakran and Kevin will know that the hatch ever existed.”

The boys always seem to be having a hard time and it’s no different now. Most recently, they were spotted locked up along with the Magician. Before that? They were hanging out with Clay’s relatives and then everything turned green.

Diode: “Ivan was the more difficult of the two to manage; they were prepared for Clay’s strength and they knew that the size of his body would increase by nearly half its normal mass and his power would increase at a twenty to one ratio. Ivan’s powers were always tricky to quantify from surveillance video, even from eyewitnesses on the scene.”

While Old Man Young and Falon do detective work, Sandra has been going to school. She is eager for a new and exciting chapter of her life and that all starts with summer semester!

Old Man Young and the Con Man’s Daughter: “The summer term at the local community college was well attended and Sandra was surprised at how easily she made friends with the other students who could have been her children. She signed up for a remedial math class because it had been years since she had to solve a word problem, and she also took two other courses; one for professional writing and the other for public speaking to get rid of the general requirements.”

We’re dealing with some strange, Illuminati, Eyes Wide Shut, secret society nonsense with this one. Osmium and Tin should be familiar, but there are other metals running the COHH.

Made in America: “Rhodium was pleased when she sat with Tin. Platinum, Gold, Ruthenium, and Iridium were at the round table as well. They all wore simple crowns, single bands fitted to rest comfortably just above their eyebrows, and made of their eponymous metal. Tin sat directly across from Rhodium and the others sat next to her, two on either side.”

She is unlike any other and she is going to remake the universe. Her guide through this complex, metaphysical endeavor is a woman named Par-Cell 77 who is from the distant future and currently only lives in Alia’s mind thanks to her aeonic memory. You know, when we explain it like that, it sounds confusing. Let’s just say, it’s Alia being amazing. 

Amazing Alia, the Alia: “The last time that Alia stood on Top B with Par-Cell 77 on the screen in the vast fields, it was just before she started her quest for the rainbow road. Alia was angry with Par-Cell but less so than before when she learned the fate of her parents. The visit between the two was very strategic and they finalized Alia’s plans to reset existence without the Ascendant at the start of everything.”

They put the sentient in Sentient Authority, it’s the one and only SoEl, merged again for your cosmic, serial fiction pleasure. 

Approaching Eternity: “When SoEl communes with AEther, they manipulate the energies of their spirit to project an astral form large enough to still be small at its feet. They speak in a language that is incomprehensible on the physical scale that most beings exist, but SoEl is the translator.”

The secret society in the Made in America Annual laid it out pretty plainly. The IP is going after the Fhetat, which has a reputation for brutality. But this is only one side of a very complex world.

Fhet Kings: “There is civilized life on the Fhetat. There is civilization among it’s bustling cluster cities with skyscrapers made of the rusty half-moons, but larger with flattened tops, stacked up to fifty high. There are homes, neighbors who grow up next to one another. And there are education centers, usually one large half-moon with ample outdoor space for physical education to pass along ancient martial arts developed by Fhetatians long ago.”

You know the Ascendant women and the universe altering actions they took at the end and beginning of time. But what about the men? What are they like?

The Men of Ascendant:  “The men of Ascendant live deep within the planet Top, that will exist very far into the future of the universe.”
