I saw this the other day, but I wasn't sure if I should post it or not.

But I do agree, the artwork is amazing.

Trackman, out of curiosity, why weren't you sure about the scene?

I have to admit the plot is confusing, with the same action back and forth ( or maybe they are "flashbacks"?), but some pictures are clearly showing infiltrators stealing one or two costumes for disguise

Serial Lackey is fantastic but a bit unpredictable , she blocked me for years :shock: because of a "art homage" of mine she didn't appreciate ... and another time when she returned at DA, then my main rule is remaining low profile at her Pixiv page :? , that's why I don't ask explanations about the plot

It was nothing big or major, it was just a couple of silly little reasons made me hesitant, for instance.........

1. At first glance I wasn't sure if it was a genuine USB scene or of it was one of those "Theft implied" sort of scenes, or if it was a stripped for "humiliation" type of scene. But yeah, after viewing it a second time, it is a full USB scene.

2. The initial sentries getting taken down for their uniforms are getting taken down by a male, so I wasn't sure if it met the boards rules and requirements or not.

If I'm being honest here, outside of this forum, I don't talk to other artists, producers or story writers, purely because they never seem to ever reply to me. It's annoying because I have tried messaging a few of them if I could commission some USB scenes to be made, but alas, I never hear back.

My biggest confusion or let down, came a few years ago (back when we were on the old forum). I had a story written featuring a character I made up by the name of "Candy Cane". The story featured several USB scenes and I really wanted an artist to draw it for me, to help bring it to life. Now I asked the amazing artist "Adventure Art", as I loved her work, I loved her skills and I know she's got a soft spot for USB anyway. I sent her the story and she was actually really keen and quite eager to draw it, as she liked the sound of the characters and the scenarios I made up.......But......Just as I was getting ready to pay her, so the she could draw my work. Her account went completely dead, it wasn't band or anything, she just stopped posting, stopped responding to anyone's comments of where she was and stopped replying to my private messages.......Even now I have no idea what happened to her and I really wish I knew. :?

:) hey I ignore what other members knew but I didn't suspect anything!

by the way... I remember your " last message" or farewell as prototype001...ten years ago :cry:

Haha, goodness, you really do remember me, don't you. :lol:

Well, fair enough, I owe you the truth don't I......

When I did the whole farewell thing as Prototype, it was because I had started a relationship with a wonderful woman and I was head over heels in love with her, we ended up buying a small house together and for six amazing years, we were happy. During this time, we travelled al around Asia, Europe and even both the East and West coasts of America. But after six years, I wanted more......I wanted to get married and I wanted to start a family......But, she was very work focused, her job meant she had to travel to different countries for business meetings a few times a year, so she really hated the idea of being tied down with kids. So naturally after a while, we realised that we both wanted different things in life, so unfortunately, we had to break up........We sold the house and split the money 50 / 50 and that was it, we left on really, really good terms and there was not hate or anything among us.

So yeah we broke up four years ago and after I spent a few months wallowing in grief, I decided to pick myself up again and I once again became the non stop smiling and happy man that I am today.


And as for all the characters I made and wrote, when I was Prototype, in the past I did write several more stories featuring them, but alas, since then I've changed my PC four times, so those stories got lost on the old systems. One day, I might return to them....One day.......I might just take the lazy route though and maybe one day, incorporate them in my universe now (maybe)..............It's interesting to note that the "Triplets", the three sisters from my very old universe, was actually inspiration for me when I wrote Tina and her sisters in the ongoing "Clone Saga".......Here's another interesting fact, one of the triplets named "Layla" was also my further inspiration when I was writing "Angel" from my new universe, this even includes her dyed electric blue hair and dark past.

But it's been so, SO long now, I'm almost certain that........No one remembers the triplets (Lily, Layla and Linda), yes I still remember their names.........No one remembers Candy Cane.............No will remember the main antagonist "Sprinkles"..........I'm almost certain no one remembers their universe at all. :D :?:

Trackman, many, many heartfelt thanks for your response, now it's everything clear :)
I admit that , ten years ago, at first I was shocked while reading your "farewell to the board " ( even with a countdown! :shock: )

I wish you all the best for your personal life , God bless your intentions and your efforts

but there is something wrong in your answer...nobody , at least not me, forgot the characters Prototype001 created ( it's the name "Candy Cane" that electrocuted my brain yesterday ) ;

you know when I have rebuilt the board I reposted almost all your tales

Thank you. Yeah I admit it, I'm a bit of sucker for love, I'm one of those "wear your heart on your sleeve" kind of guys. I always have been and I always will be. :D

Thank you again. I have seen my very old universe from when I was "Prototype001" in the story sections before, I must admit, when I was first saw them, I was actually a little touched to find out that you had saved my work from all those years ago, it was nice. :D

I know a few of the chapters are missing, but even I can't remember what they were, so everything is fine. Honestly though Esercito. Thank you very much for remembering all my old stories for all these years. I know I'm having a lot more success with Tina and her sisters in the "Clone Saga", but it is very nice to hear that some still appreciate my old work. :D
