Dangerous Dynamo #7
It wasn't the sight they were hoping to see upon entering the facility, and in terms of omens it didn't speak well to their prospects. There wasn't a chance to take anything about the new world in as their first sensation through the door was the fresh...
Dangerous Dynamo #6
"It's a pretty sentiment but a stupid one," Nicholas said through gritted teeth. At times like this he wished Amy's husband was in on their secret. Amy was a dear but an actual medic she was not. Following the chaos they managed to reconvene at the...
