17 | |
18 | |
19 | * AssimilationPlot: Acquiring the long-lost gestalt bomb ("the primary artefact") and the activator will allow the Cyberdrones to start assimilating their organic victims instead of just killing them. |
20 | * TheChessmaster: The Time Guardian is manipulating events to guide Daniel towards his future as G-Force. |
21 | * HiveMind: The Cyberdrones have a robotic hive mind. Anyone they assimilate is connected to it. |
22 | * MissExposition: Duran, one of the civilians caught up in the slaughter on Hskelos, recognises Die-Cut and immediately spends a whole page explaining his history to her friend Salba. A page later her role in the story ends. |
23 | * TheMole: Daniel's been warned about Mys-Tech and he's infiltrating them, not loyal to them. |
24 | * PeoplePuppets: The activator takes control of Die-Cut's body, but not his mind. He's still able to speak when under its control. |
25 | * RobotWar: The Cyberdrones have been fighting other races for several million years. At the start of the story they drop out of the sky over Hskelos and start killing the population. |
