This does look like it could get very interesting indeed. Finally things are picking up.
It seems quite plausible the orbs dont offer any protection against this sort of stuff at all.
Since well, they are not designed to be used by a human. But some possibly superior alien specie.
Dont need to install an antivirus if your operating system already have the best on the market and all.

Though. Is not Max they need here but Dabbler. And Harem.
Dabbler to tell them what the &%¤# is going on. Harem to bip up behind Sydney and inject her with sleepy juice before the shield is up.
Well or stuff her body into a pair of bondage mittens. Seems we are not done with the fetish stuff yet xD
Since well, for all her power Sydney still come with the glaring weak spot of a small human body.
