There’s an attempt at explaining how things came to be this way but after a couple of pages of convoluted nonsense MacLean gives up and has the woman drive around on her motorbike slicing arms off instead! It’s unclear why anything the woman’s doing is important or where anything’s headed - context and character development are absent so the reader can’t hope to care about anything that’s going on. Phewf - it’s a real struggle to find a story in Andrew MacLean’s ApocalyptiGirl! Rambling and boring just about covers it for the script. She’s trying to repair a large mech suit, which is important for no reason, while fending off cliched tribal survivors who are trying to kill her, also for no reason. It’s the post-apocalypse and a woman putzes around the desolate planet with her cat in her knapsack singing arias to herself.
