Good one! I like it.
A Marine and Spetznaz decided to give
the boy a little “wall to wall” counseling.
Buuuut the boy was “too fragile” and he…
uhhhh… “broke”. Yeah! That’s it! He “broke”!
And now the Marine and Spetznaz have
gotten rid of the body.
Poof! He just disappeared!
And when you have friends in high AND
low places…..especially military friends…..
it’s easy enough to find whatever you need
……and just as easy to make disappear
whatever you need.
Now I need to get back to my meersham pipe.
Ohhhh……a “Locked Room” disappearing
mystery. (rubs hands together in glee)
Let’s seeee……what possibilities are there……
=the room isn’t as secure as was believed
(ceilings and floors?) (medium probability)
=collusion between the Marine and the Spetznaz
(low probability, but not zero)
=the accused has discovered invisibility
(again, low probability, but not zero)
=the boy is still in the room, but “hiding
in plain sight” (The Purloined Letter, EA Poe)
(medium probability)
Now let me fill my meersham with shag
Turkish tobacco (kept in a Persian slipper),
and go sit in a corner and cogitate.

Bentok was running the long game on Mistrial,
granted she was over-reacting, but still, that
was almost cruel!
Hard to say where this punk went, much less how.
I figured it was local rumors more than facts,
people can’t resist making up their personal ideas
on what went down, rather than fact-finding.
I wonder what floor his quarters were on, fire-
escape, basement access, this is going to get
ugly. Unless Sam is right, and it was an
independent disciplinary action… like the old
“soap inna sock” type, only with 5 rolls of
quarters, loose. Or just gravel.
After thinking about it, maybe one of the guards
was a father/brother, uncle, or boyfriend, and
talked the others into playing blind deaf mute
for 5 mins. About a month later they track down
that awful smell coming from a heat duct…
Imperial Marine AND a Spetznaz guarding him and he STILL escapes?
That’s one serious escape artist. That or he had inside help. (My guess)
What’s the penalty for rape under imperial law? Rope dance, I hope and
no option for joining the legion.
Laughter is the best medicine.
Panel 8 – Rut roh, Shaggy!
That boy is in for a world of hurt, when the Marines/Spetnaz find him.
Unless . . . nah. They wouldn’t have already administered their own
justice on him. That would go against their ouths, at least for the Marines.

Oh, c’mon, after all this buildup, do you think I would take such a simple way out?
Maybe not to the death itself, but to the
hiding, removal, smuggling, and disposal
of the body…….that would not be so simple.

Make it “Sergeant Rock of Easy Company”.
Fit like a glove
Didn’t take long to catch the reference, did it?
As memory serves, they WERE Echo Company, but got nicknamed “Easy Company” due to the
fact that their assignments were anything EXCEPT “Easy”…

I, unfortunately, suspect that this will turn out to be the actual fate of the DB in question.

Nope. No option for joining the Legion. They won’t take someone who
hurt others. And rape definitely falls under that “hurt others” category.
“For their own pleasure.”
They won’t take someone who hurt others for their own pleasure.
They’ll take murderers, but not sadists.
