Hai-Xang Hayden? Yeah, I’ve heard the name. Everyone has. Depending on who you ask, she’s a playgirl, a visionary, or the spark that’s going to light the whole Consortium on fire. She’s changed recently, since her mother died. Now she moves like someone with nothing left to lose. Doesn’t talk much. Doesn’t trust easy. But…
Hi everyone! I’m going to keep it short this week. Last week, I was not able to join you because I have just moved house from my home of 5 years and that was pretty exhausting! Even so, creation halts for nothing, so I have delivered Violete #2’s Digital Rewards this week, along with preparing…

Hi everyone! You may remember our previous comic, Declaration: The Bug War #1.
