Drura: Are you crying, Ma? Suffering Sickness! What's wrong? If that HUSBAND of yours did something...!
Panel 3
Ma: *sob!* No, it's not that at all... he's been a perfect angel since we got back from Tartarus... as far as the two of us goes, I've never.. *choke!* ...been happier. *wail!!*
Panel 4
Drura: Then what in the name of Milady Malady is making you so sad?
Panel 5
Ma: My BOYS, Drura... Renkil never returned home from Tartarus and Tenzil was KIDNAPPED several days ago according to Littleburg Action News. He has since been found, and is fine... but has he thought ONCE to call home? *sob!!*
Panel 6
Drura: *incredulous*: Wha..? But, Ma... Tenzil moved here to Tartarus WEEKS ago... shortly after Kem Family & Friends was cancelled. We're... I mean... well, we're engaged to be married. He said you knew. He said you were thrilled.
Panel 7
Ma: That's... that's impossible! I've seen him on the NEWS... apparently he's seeing his friend Nancy's sister, Tiffany. That rich Spiffany daughter.
Panel 8
Ma: *sob!* Oh, What has happened to my boys, Drura?
Drura: I don't know, Ma... but I promise you I will find out!
Tenzil: Well, maybe we should both go talk to him about it?
Tiffany: Oh my, no. I think that would be a very bad idea.
Panel 2
Tenzil: Yeah... you're probably right... still, I feel like I should go speak to him. He was so happy to see me back on the Stalag... and that was totally bogus how that Dev-Em dude ditched him!
Panel 3
caption: But Lester isn't as alone as Tenzil might think...
Lester: Why are you here? It's not like you ever gave a verm's ass about me.
Taryn: Now Lester, that isn't true. I've just been very used to pretty much having Tenzil to myself all these years. I realize now, I have to learn to share him.
Panel 4
Lester: SHARE him? It's not like he wants ME...!
Taryn: Lester, Tenzil cares about you very much.
Panel 5
Lester: Yeah... but not as much as I care for HIM...
Taryn: As much but in a different way.
Panel 6
Lester: I don't want to talk about it, Taryn.
Taryn: Look, Lester... I just wanted to tell you, I sympathize AND empathize... I know what it's like to have your body altered against your will. And I wanted to say, well, keep your chin up.
Panel 7
Lester: *looking a bit taken aback* W... well... thanks, Taryn.

Panel 1
caption: Back in the kitchen...
*A light starts flashing*
Tenz: Hmm... something in the cockpit needs attention! We'll have to go talk to Lester later!
Panel 2
*Walking through the hallway, Tenz and Tiff encounter Taryn*
Taryn: Any idea why the cockpit alarm is going off? I left the ship on autopilot, and set it to go ahead and begin the process of clearing us for landing back home.
Panel 3
*the three enter the cockpit*
Tenz: We'll see in a sec!
Panel 4
Tenz: Hmm... that's funny. Our clearance to land on Bismoll has been denied. You must have mis-entered our info, Tar!
Taryn: Hmph! Silly automated clearance systems!
Panel 5
Tenz: That's odd. I'm getting clearance denied as well. I wonder what's up?
Taryn: *Gasp!* What if something's wrong back home? An invasion by the Vakka-Yar, or Arbro, or... or... Taltar...
Panel 6
Tenz: Don't be silly, Taryn! We shouldn't have anything to worry about with Taltar since you met with Thora and cleared things up!

Taryn: Oh, Tenz... I... I never met with Thora before I followed you guys to Thrann. I'm sorry.
Tenzil: What...!!?
Panel 2
*com breeps*
com: Attention! This is Bismollgov Senior Senate Speaker Bemil Vek for Senator Tenzil Kem!
Tenzil: Senator Kem here. What in the worlds is going on?
Panel 3
Bemil Vek: You and your party are denied access to Bismoll until hostilities with Taltar... caused by YOU, I might add... are resolved.
Tenzil: What...!!?
Panel 4
Bemil Vek: If Thora knows you -- and the Loy woman-- are on-planet, we might very well have a full-scale invasion from the Taltaran Amazons. My suggestion is that you contact Ambassador Thora ASAP. Perhaps your silver tongue can get you out of this as it has so much else! Vek out!!
Panel 5
Tenzil: *to Taryn* Well, here's another fine mess you've gotten us into! Just kidding, babe. So we'll do a little schedule reschedule, no big whoop. Tell you what-- go ahead and contact Thora and see if you can pull that bug out of her ass, and I'll go let Lester and Tiffany know we'll be heading on to see that specialist now.
Panel 6
Taryn: You're... not mad at me?
Tenzil: Mad? Taryn, I love you, babe. Jeebus, I owe you my senatorship, my joy, my LIFE. "Mad". Silly!
Taryn: I... apologize for missing our earlier meeting, Thora.
Panel 2
Thora: That was indeed a cause for irritation, but I felt better after having Evillo flogged unmercifully.
Taryn: So can we cut to the chase? What is it you want from me?
Panel 3
caption: Later, after jumping ahead so that the reader doesn't hear Thora's demands...
Thora: ...and that is what I ask for Bismoll to avoid full-scale war with Taltar!
Panel 4
Taryn: Okay. I'm en route to assist a friend of mine first, but right after that you will have what you want. But I warn you... Daddy isn't exactly stable.
Thora: I know! Thora out-- for NOW.
Panel 5
caption: Later stll...
Tenzil: Approaching Zentor, everybody!
Lester: FINALLY.
Panel 6
Tiffany: It will well be worth it if this specialist can help you, Lester.
Lester: I suppose.
Panel 7
Tenzil: We're being contacted by some dude named Glad-Hander! Must be Zentor's official greeter...
Lester: What's the deal with that long blonde hair extension hanging from his stupid-looking hat?

Glad Hander: Greetings! Am Glad Hander! Welcome famous Holo-star Tenzil Kem am certainly on Zentor!
Tenz: Huh? Oh... Yeah, it's always great to meet the fans!
Panel 2
Tenz: So we're here to see Dr. Loge Yeilek. My good buddy Dr. Gym'll should've hooked us up with an appointment with him.
Panel 3
Glad Hander: Hmm... so funny talk you not on holo-show! But ID yours check out! Land may you!
Panel 4
Tenzil: Okay. Something tells me this is going to be an experience. Everyone get in place for landing. Uh, Big Toes, you probably should climb down from there and take a seat. Oh, and Taryn, try not to start an interstellar war with Zentor, okay?
Panel 5
Taryn: You know... for my next act, I was planning on punching a certain Bismollian politican...
Panel 6
*Shows craft landing on Zentor*

Panel 1
Tenzil: Every 6 Hours Monster?
Questar: Yes! It will emerge from its cave on the other side of town in exactly two hours, thirteen minutes, and twenty-three seconds!
Panel 2
Questar: I must be ready for it when it does! Where do you good citizens need to go?
Panel 3
Tenzil: Well, we've got an appointment to see Dr. Loge Yeilek. He's the U.P.'s leading expert in super-charged obesity, which my friend Lester here suffers from! But our appointment's not until tomorrow!
Panel 4
Quester: In that case, we'll get you checked the hotel here quickly, where the non-metas can remain while the rest of you help me with the Every 6 Hours Monster!
Panel 5
Noyd: Um... we didn't exactly sign up for this...
Questar: But you're heroes! I'm certain you can't pass at a chance to help out! Besides, I'm certain my network will pay handsomely for a guest appearance by Tenzil Kem!
Panel 6
Tenzil: Well, we don't really need the money, but we're glad to help out. Okay, Lester and Tiffany can get settled in the hotel, and the rest of us will go see what we can do about this "Every 6 Hours Monster".
Panel 7
caption: Soon...
Tiffany: Before you go Noyd, I just wanted to say thanks for saving me back there! You're a darling!
Noyd (blushing): Why... of course!
Noyd's thoughts: Wow! She's really cute!
Panel 8
Tiffany (kissing Tenzil on cheek, as Noyd looks on heartbroken): Oh, Tenzil! Be careful!
Panel 9
Questar (to Taryn): The way you handled the Every 10 Years Monster was quite impressive!
Taryn: Gee... thanks!
Taryn's thoughts: Is he flirting with me?
