already a Red Hammer monopoly throughout Shanghai, Djakarta and much of east Asia. No more facial recognition when you could have any look you desired in a few hours…and change it again tomorrow.
“Perhaps, Lieutenant, but I’m afraid you’ll be staying with us indefinitely. No one gets out of Lions Rock without the Keeper’s permission. And who knows…when we’re done with our discussions, you may yet be able to actually play out your vaunted Quantum Corps rally cry: small is all. In truth, Lieutenant, our Red Hammer mechs can make you quite small…small as an atom, in fact.”
Winger waited for some kind of diabolical laugh to follow, but Jiang just glared at him like a mad bullfrog, cheeks puffed out and face red. He sniffed and wheeled about and the door was slammed shut with a loud clang. Pale blue light flared beyond the door and Winger knew immediately what that was…a mech barrier.

Winger saw the looks on the faces of Gibbs and Nguyen and immediately felt a pang of guilt. “I got us into this, guys, and I’ll get us out.” He didn’t know how, and didn’t even suspect that in the days ahead, yet unknown capabilities of their smallest trooper ANAD would play a key role in fighting off the growing menace that was Red Hammer.
For now, though, all Johnny Winger could think about was finding out if Deeno, Mighty Mite and Sheila Reaves were still alive.
And if there really were any ANAD bots still floating around.
