Oh, nice one, Zik! You interrupted a quest to help a dying lady! Real smooth! Why don’t you stomp on a kitten while you’re at it?

Amelia is quite impressed with her short trip. Hey, if you liked that, just wait until you experience faster-than-light travel!

So that’s kind of a Star Wars reference… I’m not sure if it’s too subtle, though.

Here we are a thousand years in the future and these two have never flown before. Pretty amazing, but they’ve been living on this prison planet since they were born!

Looks like Amelia lives up to her namesake when it comes to loving flight! Trent, on the other hand, doesn’t seem to keen on the idea. Meanwhile, Zik reminds us what gallantry looks like! Smooth!

Trent and Amelia have no idea what Japan was. It stands to reason, as they were born on this prison planet, and very little history has survived to their generation.

Elements of Zik’s costume design were indeed inspired by samurai armour. Not for any particular reason other than it looks cool… and because Zik dislikes getting kicked in the nards.

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!
