CFC Hotline, Director's Cut [Bonus Comic] by @Thorvald (El Thorvaldo)

A Side 7 exclusive! The original draft of this comic that introduces the "Azzamen" in anticipation of a mini-plot to actually track down Stylesrj; I felt the second half was too weak to be worth it and nixed it for a stronger cliffhanger. As fate would have it, I was never able to follow them up properly, with the result they were reduced to a cameo call during the story's climax.

The comment about "divine destiny" refers to Styles' "theme" at the time, aping the Japanese Emperor from Red Alert 3. As it turned out, this was the last "Franchise SEAL" persona he'd play: immediately following Georgy's capture he adopted a fixed appearance (and consistent characterization), initially through Fallout 3.
