accept Tara's invitation to unwind on Jungle Island after

that some of the island's big cats have been poached. Unknown
to them, the poacher is Randall Crowley, a young Oceanus
One scientist who has fled the undersea Utopia with stolen
equipment, to the dismay of Comm. Faraday, Captain Freedom,
and Crowley's girlfriend Riot O'Rourke. The O-1 personnel
know Crowley is acting on the whims of TV personality Stella
Stargaze, but can't understand why. Meanwhile, Crowley's
activities in Jungle Island's subterranean caverns have
been detected, and the team splits up to investigate. Ms.
V and Janis are attacked in the lagoon by a giant squid
that overpowers Ms. V as the V-47 drug wears off. Joan is
rescued by Captain Freedom and taken aboard his sub as Tara
and She-Cat fight Crowley's gang in the caverns. Tara hangs
onto Crowley's sub as he tries to escape, and the two are
drawn into the maw of the giant squid. |

Notes:
Ms.V never does meet Blodgett as planned at the end of
FF 2 (1).... Janis's insecurity over Tara's new teammates is
obvious from the start.... the caverns Crowley uses are the
same as those used by Trailblazer in Colt Spe 1.... Stella
plans on getting TC Fremont into her clutches.... Captain
Freedom becomes one of the few who know Joan Wayne's
secret... The squid is revealed to be an invention of
Crowley's in FF 4 (1).... Costumes: Ms. V goes back to her
cape and long sleeves. |
