Hey Boomers!\u00a0\"\"<\/h2>\n

Ah, February, a time for Valentine\u2019s Day, a time of love\u2026 And there\u2019s no love going on at the STC-O offices! After all, we\u2019ve been through, the Humes have betrayed me and are demanding wages! Some are even threatening to go work for *gasp* *choke* Mario the Comic! I ask you. Still, we\u2019ve got love for our loyal readers, so here\u2019s a brand new issue of STC-O for you all.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the end of the long-running Syndicate saga! It\u2019s all-out action! It\u2019s Super Sonic VS Shadow in a sizzling showdown, and this is a fight to the finish! Better watch out in The Sky Is Falling<\/a>! If you\u2019re a new reader, you better check the Data Zone<\/a> to catch up! And the question on everyone\u2019s lips- has Shorty gone nuts? Has he really turned Badnik? Can Tekno find out the truth? The Big Bang<\/a> may give you more than you bargained for! And as a bonus, there\u2019s a load of exclusive Super Sonic posters<\/a> for you to use!<\/p>\n

But what is STC-O going to do now all our stories have ended? Make up some new ones, of course! We\u2019re well into the New Year now, and that means a new direction for STC-O. Wait till you see what\u2019s coming up for the rest of 2006!<\/p>\n
