I have an idea for this. As I (may have) mentioned before, I had already finished a script for an Insect Wars sequel. But, naturally, I didn’t know Kai was written out at the time I wrote it. Big re-write in order.

I plan to have our crew meet up with Kraito, the Brunnen-G whose memory we see in Super Nova. He was awarded the Medal of Ultimate Honor for defeating the Insects at the Battle of Virian. I’m thinking he’ll begin as a classic hero and great leader of the combined forces opposing the Insect Civilization. But I’m then going to strand him on Little Lexx. [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] He’ll be this great big heroic leader, with no one to lead, stuck with people he doesn’t much like or respect. Considerably more abrasive than Kai. But because he IS a hero, he’ll still try to do the “right” thing, playing the part of protector/strategist/warrior. Finally, at some point, I’ll remind everybody that he is NOT Kai. He’ll be fated for the classic, mortal end that all classic mortal heros eventually face, from charging into danger one too many times. [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
