One, how come there’s no shrieks of pain? Two, if she’s turning on them then why can’t they just shoot her and or call security and torture here for who she works for.
Three, I just realized that she’s a reverse version of Dupree.
It does look like the new CEO is about to start with a very clean slate and should have no problem in appointing new people without many questions asked.
I think people need to remember that one of the last times we saw Mel in Narbonic she was working to get Lovelace emancipated. She’s not opposed to doing good so long as she gets to exercise her impulses.
No bet. A-Sig declaring war on non-human sapients would catch the attention of more than a few mad scientists, and Helen and Dave are the ones with Mell’s contact information.
One thing I like about Mell. She keeps subterfuge to a minimum. She’s willing to play a trick, but her victims are people who expect tricks to be piled up or tangled or at cross purposes the way so-called mad geniuses manage them. And they are never expecting a simple straightforward trick. It’s brilliantly effective.
She’s a simple woman, really; all she wants is an opportunity to smash some skulls.
We know a girl who’s sweet but tough,
She’s all right, she can be rough.
She wants info here that she’ll acquire.
She’ll set your friggin’ pants on fire.
She wants access.
She wants access.
Mell!
We haven’t seen her for a long long while.
Ain’t got uses for some guile.
She’s the girl, she’s what the A-Sig asked for.
She’s so tough she’ll break their ass more.
She wants access.
She wants access.
Mell!
For sons of this beach, there’s nothing greater,
To be bat-beaten by a litigator.
Some day soon she’ll have more fun,
And make a presidential run.
She wants access.
She wants access.
Mell!
Mell!
Mell!
Mell!
Mell!

For access, Chris Sanders was nabbed. He and Marcie, in the middle, smack-dabbed. Till his office, they check out, they’re not getting the heck out. For what happened, it’s all bafflegabbed.
Wowzer.
Her batting average is to be feared!
The office has a swivel chair!!
I don’t know if you have to supply your own cat.
Snerk!
should you ask for the keys to the executive washroom, or just pick the lock?
This is A-Sig. The locks are probably trapped to prevent unauthorized access or egress.
Baseball bats also just happen.
And looks like an aluminum bat, too.
???? Doesn’t sound like an aluminum bat (Dink!)
With an aluminum bat you can hit half again as hard. And it’s pretty good in baseball, too.
The sound depends as much on what she’s hitting as it does on what she’s hitting it with. Soft tissue isn’t gonna go “dink”.
We don’t know who’s on the Board. Could be some robots. Could be some guys with steel plates in their heads…which would explain a lot.
Mell: “‘Morale WILL improve!’ Man, I just can’t get enough of inspirational corporate slogans! [whap whap whap]”
It is SO nice to see that Mell hasn’t changed.
Apart from her clothes, xD

Reverse Dupree? Violence in service of Evil Plans, or Evil Plans in service of Violence?
Q: One, how come there’s no shrieks of pain?
A: A-Sig employees are well trained.
It does look like the new CEO is about to start with a very clean slate and should have no problem in appointing new people without many questions asked.
Now we know why Mell had Chris sign her bill!
I’m glad Ira was no longer in the room.
Some people would be very happy if Ira was in the room right now…..

A good lawyer knows how to work for either side of a case.
How much ya wanna bet Helen hired Mel to find out who stole and used her mad genius cure, And didn’t pay royalties per enemy neutralized.
That… would answer very neatly the question I was on the brink of asking: “why did Mell need access to A-Sig headquarters?”
Yeah, this does take the legal term ‘Discovery’ to a whole new level.
No bet. A-Sig declaring war on non-human sapients would catch the attention of more than a few mad scientists, and Helen and Dave are the ones with Mell’s contact information.
It’s the Law Firm I would have on my speed dial.
Yup. Mel is still terrifying. I’m so happy!
Awww Mel, you’re just as scary as you were as an intern! **wipes away a tear** Are you still in weapons dealing, or did you go with the uranium sales?
Both
Ukraine is very big business these days.
In the category “who destroyed A-Sig”, who had “Mell with a bat?”
We must note that for efficiency it’s better fro her to go against the men behind the Man, than the thousands men/drones in front of Him.
I think there’s a slim chance that “Mell-ow out” will be somewhere on the list …
So… Uh… Where has Ari gotten to?
It’s great to see Mell again and thank God she’s on our side (I think?).
Who’s first, but then what’s second?
I don’t know. Third base?
I don’t give a darn!
I love that the photos of the shadowy figures are just shadows themselves.
Nice “Brazil” reference!!!
“Information Retrieval” still terrifies me, and I hope the baby masks don’t show up.
I’d vote for her.

Wonderful song, wonderful filk
I love seeing a professional at work.
Go Mell!
Isn’t that a line from “Battle beyond the stars” with George Peppard?
There’s “I love it when a plan comes together” from “The A-Team.”
Come to think, she basically did this to the Dave Conspiracy back in the day, didn’t she? Mell knows what tricks work!
And here, she may not even have to deal with an alligator pit (although there undoubtedly are other fun and adventurous sights to see).
*smash cut to Mell telling Helen, “… and then I clocked a guy with an eyeball razor chimp…”*
