Yeah, she's strong-headed, but she's not human.

I didn't know that. How did they thumb it?

The Late Great Boner (Tim McLaughlin aka the Hilander, former pres of PAC)
informed me that the cover of USMC's Gall Force was on the front page of the 
entertainment section of the Chicago Tribune, along with a large article about
anime as 'an increasing force of science fiction in the home video market..'

or something like that..

Yes, and Nene won, something like 21 to Priss' 18. But many newbies have 
joined since then, so I see no problem with another poll.

VOTE NENE!!!

Naw, in 8, Scoop Chase, she saves the ADPolice building by fighting a cyber-
war against a boomer within the building's computer systems.

It was in BGCrash! 1 that she uses her sooped-up hardsuit to find a bomb in
the enemy's armor, and link her targeting with Priss' stiletto cannons.

Great support of Nene! You ARE going to vote in the poll, aren't you???

VOTE NENE!!!

<is there an echo in here??>
