After years of waiting and gradual bodily degridation, my malfunctioning liver finally gave up the ghost right after Christmas Day, 2007. The fact that I am here, now, updating this page is a pretty clear indication that the liver transplant that happened at the end of the year 2007 was a success.

Long: A Rennfaire Strength Tester isn't where one would expect to find a member of the Valkyrior... unless said Valkyrie is Gudrun Truemace. Here, she's taking some time off while still mostly in her uniform, ready to give the strength tester a piece of her mind. (Here's hoping she doesn't total it...)

Long: Herlod may be short by Valkyrie standards, but she's no pushover, and what she lacks in height she makes up in tenacity and explosive potential. Which, considering that she's the Valkyrior combat engineer/demolitionist, is perfectly understandable. After all, there's no problem in life that can be remedied with a suitable application of High Explosives...

Long: The leader of the Decepticon HISS squad, Rampart has a different transformation than his compatriots, but he is the strongest and toughest in exchange for his differences.

Long: Not many people would think that a CPA would also have an interest in heavy weaponry and massive explosions. However, in the Decepticon HISS squad (represented by Balustrade), this is not a contradiction in terms.

Long: Pinnacle is the HISS squad's tactitian and second-in-command; but that doesn't stop him from having the occasional "discussion" with his team leader, Rampart.

Long: You wouldn't think a 20-foot tall transforming robot could Be Unseen or have Elite Ninja Moves, but Parapet (the HISS Squad Saboteur) manages to pull it off.

Long: And here is all five of the HISS Squad Decepticons beneath the COBRA/Decepticon Mercenary Alliance emblem, along with their group slogan - "Swift Death To The Enemy."

Long: She isn't officially a part of the HISS Squad, but she hangs out with them often enough that she's usually listed among them. A rarity - a female Decepticon, who likes her job as a fast attack helicopter.

Long: Leading a semi-legal mercenary force is hard work, which is why Maia and Miranda Sterling always take advantage of opportunities to relax on the beach. Hey, just because they were born, raised, and went to work onboard a starship doesn't mean they don't appreciate the sun, sand, and surf... especially if they have reading material to tide them over.
