The Pen of Penemue

I recently took a two-week trip to visit family in Toronto, and while I was there, I stopped by at  Meeplemart .  Steve, the owner, is always very friendly and helpful, and I was able to find what I wanted in no time. I picked up a small armful of Infinity models (including a Metro HMG and the Yaoxie remotes), but I also managed to find a pack of bases for my upcoming Tohaa army.  Most blisters of bases only came with 5-6 bases, which made me a bit hesitant because I don't really want to place an order/visit Toronto every time I need new bases for my army.  The Hitech bases I found, though, came in a pack of ten.

I've thrown up the concept art for the Tohaa starter for both your reference and mine.  With luck, I'll be able to grab...

Some members of the (English) Infinity forums recently held a short story competition to encourage us novice writers to churn out some fluff.  I couldn't resist the challenge (and the forced deadline), so I put my fingers to keys and wrote up this little number.  Check out some of the other entries  here .  And without further ado, here is my entry...
