So here we get the first glimpse of Amelia’s sense of humour. Not the best first impression there, eh Zik? Hey, have you told your friends about Zik yet? If you know someone who likes science fiction, please pass the link on! I’d really appreciate it. I’d love to share Zik with more people, but I need your help to get the word out. Thanks for reading!
Zik’s savior is revealed! And what a revelation! Zik is impressed by the fierce beauty before him. What a way to meet a gal, eh?
Zik and the Clonoid grapple and strive against each other, but the Clonoid is stronger! Just as Zik is about to lose his grip, someone hits the Clonoid from behind with a ruck! That was a close one! Who bailed out our hero? Whoever it is has some serious stones! Find out next time!
Zik and the Clonoid are locked in combat! Who will win? How will it end? Stay tuned!
Things are heating up in this battle of strength and will! Zik gets a boot to the head, and then catches a mighty punch! How will Zik fare?
Okay, so apparently the Zernab Clonoid soldiers don’t feel pain. I guess we’ll have to keep that in mind for next time, eh Zik? If you survive, that is…
Zernabian Clonoids are engineered to not feel pain, and also to not have the will to do anything other than what they are commanded to do. They’re considered sub-sentient, because they can’t form individual preferences. When not directly tasked, they have a decision list of over-arching commands they can apply to their current situation. Over time, this has been refined by Queen Elcyra to the point where her will is imposed without the need for constant direct input. This, combined with the nigh-immortality Elcyra has achieved, cause many to believe she is a transhuman, though not an enlightened one.
The Clonoid soldier vows death, so Zik attacks with his grappling hook! That thing is pointy! Looks like the Clonoid’s going to need to go shopping for earrings.
It looks like our hero has a bit of fight left in him! Zik knocks the lightning gun out of the Clonoid soldier’s hand and gives him a righteous uppercut of doom! Time to visit a dentist, Clonoid!
Zik falls to the ground, recovering from a skillion volts of electricity. Thank goodness for his space suit! The Clonoid receives orders to terminate him, but Zik isn’t going down without a fight!
Looks like our hero’s getting deep fried! A shocking turn of events! Will he survive? Tune in Tuesday and find out!
By the way, the Clonoid’s lightening weapon isn’t all that futuristic. Check it out, they’re working on it right now!
