Oh, absolutely. Though I dearly hope it's going to be more interesting
than the standard action-type story... I wonder how whoever the writer

of the least subvertible ideas around...*
*I'm reminded of the 'Daleks acting wrongly' genre of... premise, I

Victory ``, Revolution ``. But then again, half the point of half of
these is the inevitable moment where  the story becomes a standard Dalek
story, with all the action trappings /that/ implies... with a more
interesting order of things only restored as they're defeated, and maybe
being the /way/ they are defeated. I'm sure they'll do something /less/
standard about it, this time.
