Tohaa Journey - Stage 2

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.

Short Story Competition Entry

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...
