    “The Saga of Dr. Dark”(30) 1/13-14/2018

    Dr. Dark is making preparations to leave. However he also wants to set up a team of young, white hot programmers and crackers of systems. After reading about Stuxnet, he sees paths to making a fortune and better, to make changes to this world to better fit his likes. A means of accumulating all the fractional e-money would be workable. Every small partial bit of a cent or its equivalent among all the currencies including Bitcoin and the like they now have. (The Vampire Nation to come. He will be involved in that as well. We saw some of it in Alternate Alley Oop around 2012-2013 stories.)

    He has money, though a bit out of date. It shouldn’t be too much trouble to hand them in to a bank. By the use of controlled protoplasmic reversion he can change his facial contours. Even his eye and hair color. His skin color will have to stay for the time being. (His attempts have proven to be spotty in ways that would attract attention.) Now digital circules aka finger prints are a tad harder, even for him since he would change it for the finger tips only. He will have to see the lay of the underground land of criminals to see which syndicates to manipulate and those in policing and FBI too. Recruitment of hacker-cracker teams will also take time. However the more he learns the faster he can accomplish it. And one thing hasn’t changed in the centuries he has lived is that humans are still human in behavior.

    Also make up too. His homonculi need to give themselves a more human appearance. Their stark white skins may stand out. Some of his homonculi can alter their appearances in a form of protoplasmic reversion much easier than he can. They were in fact designed for it.

    This just in from Italy. The legendanry Vesuvia’s comeback film, “Death Worms From Planet X,” has abruptly ceased production.

    The movie makers are said to be in police custody, nature of charges undisclosed.

    Perhaps it is true that the civil liberties of captured terrorists are not always respected.

    Yow! Yah! Yee!

    Thack! Crunch! Thud!

    So what?

    Well?

    Please! No more! I will tell everything!

    Right you are, Warbucks! These bogus movie makers are mash (?) level plotters on quite a bizarre mission, as you state.

    Yes, Chief! Seeking to obtain ancient labyrinths and build a new underground command post for the world’s fugitive terrorist (something), right here beneath civilized Italy!

    But what happened to their digging machine?

    That is unclear. Suddenly it no longer worked, as if some mystery signal overrode the controls!

    Mystery signal, eh? Where do you suppose that came from?

    Meep! Meep! Exe!

    Abandoned in the mountains, the great mechanical worm stirs!

    Grind! Whir! Clank!

    ??? Gronk?

    Morning, Anniephans!

    .

    Today’s seemed to be a little harder to read than usual. But it looks like Xaxos is taking over the worm-digger.

    Here’s today’s link:

    I really like the design of that mechanical “worm”.
