Crystal Weightless: Intergalactic socialite.
Jet setter for the space age or cosmic bimbo? You be the judge.
We last left Ash Lander on one of Jupiter’s remote moons with no food, no water and no shelter, hunted by his comrade, Krate Azimuth.
In fitful sleep, he imagined what would happen when he was found.
The hand that eventually woke him was not that of his deranged friend-turned-nemesis, but more the touch of an angel.
Her gentle touch and beatific smile made Ash wonder whether he was dreaming… hallucinating… or already dead.
He would soon learn, however, that Crystal Weightless was an ordinary space girl out to have a good time. She happened upon Ash Lander while looting unmanned slave ships. By jamming their radio controls, she could intercept them and plunder their cargo. Her confidence and working understanding of inertia stood in stark contrast to the panic raging within Ash. Every task performed by our astronauts was based on complicated and difficult mathematics, while Crystal instinctively scaled walls and manipulated enormous freight laden pods in zero gravity. This was the only life she had ever known, and it was a life she loved.
Crystal Weightless and her identical twin sister, Gravity were born under mysterious circumstances and left in the airlock of a space school for girls. The two were raised under the heavy hand of the institution's rule book. Crystal found it difficult dealing with the strict guidelines which bound her, and as she grew older, she fought for her independence more and more fiercely. Mischevious as she may have been, Crystal had a good heart. After studying under the glaring lights of the classroom with the other girls, Crystal liked to go off by herself into dark, open space, and just float free. Nothing to tie her down, no one looking over her shoulder or distracting her from her dreams. Weightlessness was her drug. While the other girls studied inertia from books, Crystal experienced it first hand, honing both her mental and physical skills, and growing into a strong, capable space girl.
