Prog 1668: The ABC Warriors launch an all-out direct assault on Der Kran. Citizens can be hauled in for interrogation by the lifting hook of an industrial crane, the movement of which is so subtle it doesn't bludgeon you to death with one swing. The ABC Warriors have been refitted by Tubal Cain, but we didn't see him. Maybe they left their old armour under their pillow when they went to bed? Because of microchips, everything has been invented long ago, including super-tough microchip armour and super-penetrating microchip bullets. To perpetuate an illusion of progress, the ruling class withdraws new inventions from circulation and substitutes museum pieces in their place, so that blu-ray can be brand new every 50 years and VHS can be the next big thing again.
Prog 1669: The ABC Warriors blow up a robot spider
Prog 1670: The President of Mars has a hypnotized girlfriend, and the Marsokhods attack Marineris City.
Prog 1671: Talking and fighting.
Prog 1672-1674: They say knowledge is power. Despite the ABC Warriors' recent armour upgrade, Blackblood's knowledge of their past form, fed into his comrades' brains, gives them or their weapons the knowhow to riddle the ABC Warriors with holes. Steelhorn slopes off to retrieve his magic hammer. The Volgan either either forget all about the ABC warriors, or are distracted by Ro-jaws single-handly, long enough for the ABC Warriors to duck out fror a bit and repair their damage. There seems to be a pattern here.
