Deathlands # 94, Doom Helix

An odyssey in a shattered tomorrow...

The companions really didn’t have a choice

“Are we all agreed, then?” Ryan asked, looking from
face to shadowy face. “We fight them?”

The answer was unanimous and in the affirmative.

“When we last met, the she-hes took us by surprise,”
Ryan said. “That’s why we ended up at Ground Zero in
laser manacles. We’re going to make sure that doesn’t
happen again. They still have their tribarrels and EM
armor, but from what Big Mike said, they don’t have
near as many wags as they did before. And mebbe only
the single attack aircraft for backup.

“It’s not going to be easy, no way around that, but we
know where they are, and they don’t know we’re coming.
We can’t let any of them slip away. We’ve got to chill
them all.”

After a moment of silence, Mildred said, “They were
gone from this universe for a long time. I can’t help
wondering where they went after they left.”

“Wherever it was,” Ryan assured her, “we’re gonna make
them wish they’d stayed there.”
