Luckabee seems to be drinking in despair. He's allowing Smythe to browbeat him into total subjection, doesn't he have any kind of backbone?
The Toasters! Now that was a surprise to read about. They are slightly different from the crew lead by the determined Toni Taylor. Somehow it seems strange that such an intelligent woman never made her way back to the Metropolis.
In any case, I'm a little surprised the inventor of such a weapon would challenge Smythe directly. Does the man have ashes for brains?
Glad to get back to the action!!!
One final note: love the hayloft. Perfect place for a loving young couple to unwind...
