Production notes
- In the original writing of this story, Matt E. still existed and the story was based around him. In 1996 when I rewrote it, I changed it to my 'straight friend' Bill.

- (I believe) this is the first appearance of Hot Shot and Rup.
- Third pass to provide extra details and upgrades happened in 2021.
