I just coughed a mouthful of tea over my keyboard as I was laughing so hard at "Your hand smells funny!"
Absolutely fang-tastic! More, more, more! Please!

Thank you guys, so much for the encouraging words! I'd hop back on the MEL:TS train in a second, but not without my esteemed, handsome and talented co-writer!!

I was MEL:TS's biggest fan back from way back! And I totally DEMAND its return!

Panel 2
*Tenzil flies into Elza, knocking her out of the way of blaster fire*
Tenzil: Watch out, ma'am!
Panel 3
Widget: BREEP!... This unit is calling for BREEP!.... assistance!

Oh how delightful-!! Can MEL:TS really be back?!?!
PAGE 15
Panel 1
*Elza, Tenzil and Widget form a semicircle, looking all tough and stuff in "ready to fight mode" as remaining pirate aliens surround them*
Elza: This will be my GREATEST battle--!!
Tenzil: Just how many times have you battled--??
Elza: Let's just say, I was giving evildoers heartburn back in the 2940s! And we had to do it without fancy-schmancy flight rings and such!
Tenzil: "We"?
caption: Tenzil's inquiries will have to wait, as he, Elza and Widget --despite having only just met-- engage in a fourth-dimensional-ballet of battle, taking down pirate aliens with elegance usually reserved for fancy-schmancy dance recitals of space!
Elza: *chuckle* Well, I would hope so...! But I've said too much already-- which is really odd, because one thing I've never been is a blabberpuss, nosiree Bob!
Widget: BREEP! This unit is being informed that BREEP! ...the Science Police have arrived!
Tenzil: *rolling eyes* The sci-cops... Right on time, as usual. Well, let's meet up with them and see if we can't get this plot-pace picked up a bit!
Elza: *to Widget* "Plot-pace"?
Widget: BREEP! I suspect that is some sort of BREEP! fancy-schmancy Legion codeword.

Panel 1
*Several Sci-Cops burst into the room*
Sci-Cop Commander: Everybody freeze!
Panel 2
*Our heroes raise their hands*
Tenzil: It's okay, sir! We've got everything under control!
Panel 3
Sci-Cop Commander: Oh, Legionnaire, I didn't recognize you at first...
Panel 4
*Sci-Cop Commander takes off helmet to reveal...*
Tenzil: Shvaughn Erin! And I thought you were a man!
Panel 5
Shvaughn: Wha...
Tenzil: Those Sci-Cop outfits sure do disguise your gender, don't they?
Panel 6
Shvaughn: Er... yes. Now, what happened here?
Panel 7
caption: After Tenzil explains, with many interjections by Elza Perkins...
Shvaughn: Hmm... apparently you surprised them before they could complete their mission, but they still managed to take Dr. Larx Kendrik hostage...
From: Liberty City | Registered: Jul 2003

Tenzil: Hmm. While it's certainly terrible that anyone was taken hostage, perhaps now would be a good time for a flashback sequence or cutaway scene of some sort so that readers can be informed why they should particularly care about this Larx Kendrik fellow!
Elza: I'm a bit curious about him myself.
Widget: This unit is not programmed for BREEP curiosity.
Panel 2
Shvaughn: Well, I'm not sure what exactly these "readers" are you are referring to, but as for Dr. Kendrik...
Panel 3
*LOUD EXPLOSION* startles the gang
Panel 4
Elza: Oh my space-stars!! That was louder than that time Vocal Queen got the hiccups back in 2950-- but I've said too much!! Which is really unlike me, of course...
Shvaughn: What WAS that?
Tenzil: Surely not one of the co-writers vamping for time?
Widget: Who is BREEP Shirley?
Panel 5
*random sci-cop approaches*
Sci-Cop: One of the fourth-dimensional-engines blew, nothing to worry about... you should resume the conversation you were having prior to the explosion!

Panel 1
Shvaughn: Larx Kendrik was a bigtime U.P. diplomat back in the day...
Tenzil: Should we be worried about that explosion?
Panel 2
Shvaughn: The Legion of Super-Villains once tried to assassinate him by disguising a bomb as a trophy he was supposed to be receiving...*
Editor's Note: This all happened in Superboy #208, as longtime Legion readers will remember!
Panel 3
Shvaughn: He's been pretty much living off his fame and celebrity these past few years, I'm not sure why anyone would want to kidnap him...
Panel 4
Ezra: Wait just one sec there, honey... I don't mean to butt in or tell you your business or anything, but are you sure that fellow your describing is named "Kendrick"? Because that sounds a lot like that "Larx Kenrick" fellow who has been featured in the 4D tabloids lately...
Panel 5
*Shvaughn checks her portable computer panel*
Shvaughn: Hmm... let me check. Ah... it appears as though it is difficult to transliterate his name from his native language into Interlac, and that both "Kendrick" and "Kenrick" are valid versions...*
Editor's Note: Sheesh! I bet the main Legion book never has a problem with characters suddenly changing names from one panel to the next...
Panel 6
Caption: Oh, and speaking of the main Legion book...
*Our cast suddenly are disturbed and clutch their heads in agony*
Shvaughn: What is that?
Elza: It's like the death scream of an entire planet, mentally projected throughout space!*
Editor's Note: Check out Legion of Super-Heroes vol. 6, #1 for full details!
Panel 7
Tenzil: So, should we be worried about *that*?

Widget: If only this unit were BREEP programmed for dispensing of space-headache remedies BREEP!
Tenzil: I didn't know you cared, Widge!
Widget: This unit BREEP appears to be BREEP evolving.
Panel 2
Tenzil: What I'm really curious about is how that panel involving our head-distress and its caption firmly places our continuity in the pre-New 52 continuity instead of the more recent "nottaboot" or, as it is more commonly known, the post-Flashpoint continuity. Does this make us NOT a part of the new 52? And does it mean our page count is now 20 instead of 22?
Elza: You certainly do like to hear yourself talk, don't you, Mr. Eater-Lad?
Panel 3
Tenzil: Well, it's just that if our page count IS 20 now, I have a feeling something totes space-cray-cray is going to happen very shortly because this is page 19, and we will want to hook the readers with a cliffhanger to bring them back next issue.
Shvaughn: *sigh* Thought balloon: No wonder they keep kicking him out of the Legion! Jan was right, he's nuttier than Winath crunch pudding.
Panel 4
Widget: BREEP! This unit is receiving a communication of some sort BREEP!
Elza: Planet's sake!
Tenzil: What's the haps, Widge?
Panel 5
Widget: No- BREEP! Not BREEP ---THAT! BREEP! ANYthing but BREEP --THAT! BREEE-EEEP!
Narration: And a new castmember emerged on the scene!

Panel 1
Elsa: Heavens to Betelgeuse! Are you okay? You look like you took quite a spill there, missy! I don't mean to meddle in you business or anything, but you really should take care to look where you're going!
Panel 2
Widget: BIP!
Tenzil (helping CQ up): Hmm...Calamity King is an old friend of mine... we once saved the planet Koobar together! Don't tell me you've come down with a case of the Grandin Gender-Reversal germs, old pal!
Panel 3
Calamity Queen: Er... no. I am not him. But I prefer to keep any information about myself a secret at the moment! Sorry about those 4D engines, by the way! Sometimes I have a little difficulty controlling my powers!
Panel 4
Shvaughn: Well, I find it suspicious that you're not included on the flight manifest at all. But we'll deal with you when we get to Bismoll. Right now, I need to go interview one of the passengers who was apparently one of the targets of the pirates. You guys can come with, if you like.
Panel 5
Tenzil: Sure, why not?
Elza: I'm always up for making new acquaintances!
Widget: BUP... this unit will submit itself for repairs...
Panel 6
caption: Soon...
<panel shows Shvaughn, with Tenz, Elza, and Calamity Queen in tow, knocking on the door that reads "Spiffany">

*door opens, and standing there is none other than LESTER SPIFFANY!*
Lester: What's the meaning of this? What were all those explosions and stuff? I-- LESTER SPIFFANY-- DEMAND ANSWERS!
Panel 2
Tenzil: Lester-!!! It's me, Tenzil!
Lester: I've never seen you before in my life, I would never associate with anyone wearing such garish fashions!
Panel 3
Elza: Oh my! How embarrassing for you, Mr. Eater-Lad!
Tenzil's thoughts: Hopping Hannah! I totally forgot that Matter-Eater Lad: The Series Volume 1 was set in post-boot continuity! The Lester Spiffany of whatever continuity this is has no previous relationship with me!
Lester: WELL? Are you just going to stand there staring blankly, or am I going to get my answers??
Voice from cabin: Settle down, Lester...
Panel 4
Tiffany Spiffany: ...don't you recognize a famous Legionnaire when you see one?
