Greetings!


     Wonderful weather we are having, isn't it? Thanks for your offer of 
assistance. The following is basically background. I await the comments with 
baited breath.

     Priss and Leon have feelings for each other. Both of know it, but 
neither wants to admit it to the other.  Nene and Mackie would make a good 
pair, if either makes an effort to get the other. There are too many 
unknowns about Sylia to say anything regarding her significant other. Fargo 
seems to be interested, but I would sooner expect pigs to fly than see Sylia 
go out with him.

     Linna appears to have a new boyfriend every other week. It seems a 
little unfair. I have an idea for her steady boyfriend. I will call him 
Kyle. He would be about a year older than Linna and about an inch taller.

     They meet while she is still working for the aerobics club. Kyle is an 
instructor there as well. He teaches martial arts. When Linna leaves to go 
work for the stock broker, she still keeps her club membership. Once or 
twice a week, when she shows up to work out, Kyle asks her to help him teach 
the beginner class. They are about equal in skill.

      After hearing her moan and groan about her many boyfriends he offers 
to take her out. Linna decides their first date (the second will be 
explained later) will be at a surprise birthday party for Priss (more on 
that later as well), which is where we first see him.

     Now for some background on Kyle. His parents are both dead. His mother 
died while giving birth to him. His father worked in the bowels of the AD 
Police headquarters building. When the ADP guardian boomers went crazy in 
BGC! ep 3 Meltdown, he was killed.

     Kyle got his job at the aerobics club to work his way through college. 
While he was studying boomer mechanics, he found that he was more interested 
in and better at martial arts. Midway through his second year of getting 
only mediocre grades at college, he dropped out.

     The college courses would prove useful, however. It seems that dad came 
across a pair of 33-s boomers that were in need of repair. The boomers' 
damage was not too extensive, but it was severe. One's AI seemed to have 
been corrupted by what appeared to be a virus. There was also the small 
matter of a missing heart (or something along those lines). Not an easy 
thing for him to replace. The other boomer also had major organ damage. 
Again difficult to replace. At least boomer B's AI was mostly intact.

     Through some careful recordkeeping, dad managed to get both to his son 
to fix. Fixing the boomers took about two years, and they are the main 
reason Linna will not dump Kyle after their first week together.

     Earlier I mentioned a surprise birthday party for Priss. This would be 
a good way to start the new series. Seeing how Linna and Nene scramble to 
organize such an event, what with an odd boomer rampage or somesuch 
interrupting things, should be fun. Maybe Vision could show up for the party 
with a little present, a recording contract.

     In the second episode, we get some background on Linna's new boyfriend. 
It is at this time that Kyle finally puzzles out how to restore boomer A's 
AI without wiping its memory. To celebrate this occasion, he takes it to his 
second date with Linna. Due to a strange quirk of fate, the date is at Hot 
Legs. Linna is dumbfounded upon seeing boomer A. Priss is shocked 
speechless. We do not see boomer A at all, though it probably should not be 
too hard for an observant viewer to guess who boomer A is.
     
     Who or what the antagonist will be, I've no clue. At least I don't 
think I do. In any event, a rough sketch of the first scene should be coming 
soon.

P.S. There will be a snowball fight in the Pentagon's Center Courtyard at 
1600. Be there!
