   Twilight = Moon? so it would seem about 70% of the hero names are either based on their civilian id, ARE their civilian IDs, or based off stuff in such a way their Civs can easily be matched to their hero name and the other 30 are a bit more original

         The only ones I can think of, off the top of my head, are Epoch (Vlad Epoch) and Gola Beh who used no name…

         Do Go!Anna (Annie Summers), Captain Victoria (Vicky Bourke), or Magnus Magellan count?

           ah yes, they do count indeed!

   I can see that, to a being like Vostok, the whole idea of a ‘civilian identity’ might be something of a puzzle.

   This is random, but seeing Epoch with that rising tide of grey keeps making me think of the Earth-2 Superman.

   pushy little kaycee. if she keeps that up she will lose all her friends. though i think vostok would be able to figure out how she’d react better than anyone.

   Bravo on Kaycee’s face in panels 2 & 3 . Simply drawn, yet her frustration and fatigue are shown.

     Thanks… she and all the other “astrally regurgitated” cadets have been through quite the ordeal!

   I wonder how useful Mudge’s power will be in this situation. Super useful or useless?

     You know, I actually feel quite bad for Mudge here… He experiences other peoples’ nightmares on a daily basis already.

     As for his powers, I’ll be interested to see how/if they manifest in astral form.

     His power will more then likely be integral, both from character view and reader view reasons. character view is he’ll be how they can do some recon before an astral dive, reader view it will resolve his self esteem issues being able to play a big part in anything…

   @xmung as well as Zeus Dimas (the Hierophant) if you stretch a tad and are familiar with mythology,
   Tros (who’s real name has Tros in it), Dr. Alonzo Zee (Dr. Zee), and those are the ones we know/ you’ve told us through cast page, so thats 8 out of less then 50 that we know both ids for and are recognised

     So about 16%… not too bad, I guess some heroes just don’t take their secret identity too seriously, although for some like Go!Anna & Capt Victoria it’s more a case of hiding in plain sight!

    Is it just me or are the re-balanced cadets getting blended fears to mention as they wake up?
    Kaycee seems to have Billy’s, Nadine’s, her own and someone else’s (“everyone ignored me”? Is that Sioni?)
    Fatima appears to have a blend of Gifford, Jenna, her own and, again, someone I can’t place (what’s a Vork? It seems to ring a bell)
    And then Mudge seems to have his own, Joe’s, and Gabby’s (I think)

      Nicely picked up on – indeed they have. A ‘vork’ is the name given to the monster that ate Lyta…

        I knew it sounded familiar…
        Suppose it’s something to do with “Mz nazty face do a real blender on yoo…”

        Did I miss any of the blended fear-scapes? (Divergent reference – it’s a good book!)

            Also, Just had another reminder that we’re in the same time zone (or there about).
            Kinda funny seeing my post coming up AM instead of PM and still getting a reply from the author.

            Something about the setting on the server – for some reason it thinks 11am Sydney time is 12 midnight wherever so I think it might screw with the time stamps. Just thing it as living in cronally shunted parallel universe.

    Aww. I feel kind of bad for Kaycee now, since it looks like the whole thing with her throwing off her own mental assault and freeing others turned out to be pointless now that Vozok is here.

      Well, not if one considers the astral diving skills she and the others have learned and how handy they miiiight come in later…

    Who’s “Mz Nazty Face” that Vostok is referring to?
