Right so good news and bad news.

The bad news, recent ram upgrades didn't get Daz to render my latest animations without crashing. In fact, the constant tweaking of settings only to get crash after crash put me off rendering for a while.

Since I've invested so much time in setting up these scenes, I'm going to find a way to render them one way or another. But in the meantime I'm looking for ideas which brings us to the good news, more content.

What it is going to be depends on answers from this journal. The stuff here is based on the story pieces scattered through out my art and the general themes portrayed in the art. But nothing is set in stone.

The Villain: You're a leader of a band of 4 thieves. Through one of your information contacts, you learn about the company running secret Chimera Wave projects. Intrigued by the technology, and learning of the location of a large generator, you and your partners set out to steal it. The heist was successful and your team successfully escapes with a Chimera Wave generator with a range of about a city block.

You're now planning your next job in Sandy Shore City[a city much like San Francisco], and now that you have this generator, you want it to be big. What's your next job going to be and where?

The Heroine confronts you. You announce yourself as...

Do you need a lackey/minion?

The Heroine: You're a captain in the companies security force with a background in investigation and forensics. Because of this, when a generator from the companies secret project was stolen, you were the obvious choice to send out to locate it, covertly.

You have a wrist-sized chimera detector/override device, it can detect the generator anywhere if they turn it on, but it can also detect it when it's off as long as she is only a block or so away. The override allows you to use all the functions of a Chimera wave generator and makes you immune to any negative effects that the wave might normally have, but it can't make it's own Chimera waves. It also allows you to shut down the generator or hack it's settings if you can get close. You find the thieves but the generator is already active and their plan is in motion. You're taking the direct, approach and two are in your sights. What are you about to do?

You confront the Lead Thief. Your opening line is...

Do you need a side-kick?
