Great stuff. Volunteer is simple yet effective. I love Bugeater, but any hero from Nebraska would have red in his/her costume. (Even though my favorite color is blue.)

Creepy… in a disturbing sort of way.

Cut… and… print! That’s a wrap, everyone! Great job! We’ll see you at the premiere party!
“Terribly sorry, Big M, but I will not be in attendance. The studio telegraphed. They want me to head to Siam for a new serial. Yes, I know. Too soon, what? The Kingsman is a popular fellow. Have to keep filling those matinee seats. A packed motion picture theatre means bread on our tables – and a bit of brandy, of course. I’ll be sure to send you a postcard.
“Truly, it is too soon. Just wrapped up my real mission here. Almost blew my cover a couple of times. Got the job done, though. These documents that I retrieved from Aviemore are proof that the Orange Brigade is collaborating with the Rising Sun Empire. To what end? I guess I will find out when I get to Siam.
“Now, what trite nonsense will ‘The Kingsman’ be up to? Where’s the bloody script? Oh, this is brilliant. What an apt title: ‘The Kingsman Meets Chingis Khan.’ I wonder if they will use an actual Asian actor for this one.
“The Rising Sun will undoubtedly be suspicious of a movie being filmed so close to occupied territory. Best to have my papers in order: Famous actor Reggie Keigwin. All of this cloak and dagger, sometimes I forget my real name. Alas, it is what I volunteered for.
“Rather good thing that I don’t go about my affairs like The Kingsman does in his movies. Running around with a bright red cape. I can barely move my arms under those stiff epaulets. The mask does come in handy if I am low on cosmetics for a disguise.
“One thing that makes no sense about The Kingsman. What kind of agent gets himself in a spot without a gun?â€
THE VIEW FROM BELOW
Original Character by Alexander of Limbo; Story by The Atomic PunkHow did I get stuck on this detail? I am a warrior not an overseer. Who are the Industrialists to tell the Military what to do? If the War Council knew that we would be stuck in these mines, I doubt that they would have invaded this Orban-foresaken rock.
I have to admit, though, I really like the suppression rifle that they issued. Is that what they build here? Klorg… I don’t know. They don’t tell us anything. To them, we’re just slave drivers. I am an Ehkar. We are the elite unit that is the first to make footfall during a planetary invasion.
There’s that Industrialist and his flight suit buzzing all over the volcano again. Barking orders at us grunts. Maybe that’s why he always has that stupid smile on his face. He thinks he is so high and mighty. Calling us soldiers “supervisors†and “foremen.†Hey, pal, they’re slaves not “trainees.†What an insufferable bogworm…
Supposedly, we’re going to ship out around the Feast of Twelve Moons. Orban, I hope so! I need to get back to the frontlines before I shoot up this place.
Barzott! The Industrialist is coming back down here. Yeah, yeah… we heard the klaxon. It’s lunchtime. We know. By the way, your watch is slow… jackass.
A MOST EFFICIENT DAY

Yes, oh, yes! This will be a most efficient day. The trainees still have a ways to go. However, I believe with the addition of the new supervisors, they will become hard-working professionals. Now that my manager’s harness is fully charged, I can properly (and efficiently!) inspect the operation.
I will first descend to the mines where the workers extract the raw ore. A quick directional calibration, then float effortlessly over to the smelting furnace. Hmmm… the oven is not at an optimal 3.624 temperature. Best to alert the foreman.
Now to make my way past these support beams. On to level 26 to review the manufacturing process. Very good, I see that the engineers have spotless maintenance records. The line is at peak capacity.
Buzzing upward again to level 57 – Quality Control. Yes, this is very good news. The finished product has a mere 1.09-% defect rate. Still a little high, if you ask me.
To the rooftop distribution point where the drays load then ship our products to our customers. Marvelous, the just-in-time schedule is running smoothly. There have been no dry runs or pilot detentions this week.
I’ll just check my timepiece and… there’s the signal for the noontime break. Even the factory chronometer is accurate! I think I will descend down to the mines to remind the supervisors. The workers are entitled to nourishment and a brief rest period.
Gabrilaxx, old boy, if things continue like this, you will get a nice bonus during the Feast of Twelve Moons. Who knows? Maybe the Directors will notice and offer a promotion to The Board.
Thanks, Jeimuzu.
