If you missed the message in the updates section, I have posted the first installment of "Rookie Mistake", which is episode 1 of Twisted Tales (and the prequel to "Carnal Knowledge"). The comic can be found in the members' area gallery of HIPComix.

Please take a look and let me know what you think. Questions and comments are always welcome and appreciated.

thanks for posting the pages to the free section, doc!
i just re-read the story in the members' area, and i really enjoyed it. hopefully a new generation of readers will have the chance to read this work as you post in your updates.
are you and finister going to continue the adventures of marcy and sentius from carnal knowledge soon ?

Most definitely. Finister and I are working on "Twisted Tales" episode 4 as we speak. Without giving away too much, I can say that the plot has a few twists and turns... including a new heroine, a new villain(ess), and a new mind control device for Dr. Twisted and Sentius to play with. We should have the first installment ready to go in the next week or two. Keep an eye on this space for more information...

I can't wait. As a fan, I would urge you guys to keep Marcy in the forefront, at least to some extent. I think she's easily the best fembot of the bunch (as I've told Doc, that outfit is out of effing sight), and has a lot of interesting quirks in her post-conversion form. She and Sentius share a unique bond, and one would imagine that Sentius retains some affection for her. Also, I love the fact that she was formerly just a "normal" cop, but is now in a position of superiority to the superpowered fembots beneath her. I'd like to see that trend continue. Clearly it's gonna get crowded as things proceed — and that's a good thing, as new heroines (and maybe a villainness?) are brought into Dr. Twisted's fold — but it would be a shame to turn a character as sexy and cool as Marcy into just another footsoldier.

Just my thoughts.

Sometimes I think that you and I work out of the same brain, Knyght. One of the reasons that we made Marcy the way she is was to give her more autonomy while of course still keeping her under the control of Sentius and Dr. Twisted. Her function is to be the 'field general' for the doctor, who with each passing abduction and robotization will find it harder to leave his lab as more and more of the police force tries to crack the case. That was one of the primary reasons for the 'attack' on Sentius, to slow down their investigation into the disappearances of Valient Grrl and Alpha Woman. In Twisted's eyes Marcy was a surprise and a bonus.

Because of the nature of her transformation and her internal knowledge of police procedure, Marcy will always be 'first among equals' when it comes to Twisted's fembots, even as we add more slaves to his harem. Down the road there may be a thinning of the ranks, but I can say with confidence that Marcy's involvement in the storylines will not be diminished.

Sentius, on the other hand, is another story. Sometimes I feel as if his role overlaps that of Dr. Twisted a bit too much. Clearly Twisted is superior to Sentius and more central to the storylines, so I will have to work hard to find something for Sentius to do and make sure he is properly utilized in future episodes.

Thanks for the comments!

You don't necesarily have to do that. It's much easier for Sentius to fade into the background — to become just "the computer's voice in Dr. Twisted's lab" and not lose anything from the story. He's got Marcy and maybe he takes the odd moment to molest one of the fembots in his ongoing "experiments," but otherwise, he needn't be prominent at all.

Besides, Marcy has better tits.

Knyght has a good point here. If you leave sentius in the background when the need arises he's always there to bring in either if you come up with a cool idea or maybe just to bail the doc or one of the heroines gets in trouble.

I wouldn't can him just yet. Although it does occur to me that Doc Twisted would be much happier if Sentius were a little more submissive. Maybe a tweak to his programme and get him to address the doc as Master.

You guys make good points. I guess I never really came up with a plan for Sentius past "Carnal Knowledge". In fact, the story itself was intended as a standalone comic until I decided to fold it into the "Twisted Tales" universe. I guess there are plenty of options for him, and I have no plans to get rid of him. If I did, I would not have bothered to have Marcy transport him to Dr. Twisted's lair. We'll just have to wait and see what happens down the road...

A quick thanks to Mesmereyes for his detailed page-by-page opinions for the first installment of "Rookie Mistake". That sort of feedback is invaluable, and very much appreciated.
