Jeena's been a semi-recurring background character, mostly. (Though I think she's had a few lines). Which was good, because I couldn't find Hawkins mini-figure. Er, I mean... he was injured in a plasma explosion. He's totally in sickbay and not lost somewhere in the vicinity of the Lego table.

Speaking of minor blunders, I was going back to fix that mistake BrickVoid noticed in last week's next button and discovered that I'd also accidentally blanked the comment text for every installment going back to November. Oops. Anyway... that's all fixed now, too!
