Making of Javantea's Fate 373

Hack Mars Plot Dev
Mission 21: Contact Javantea

Javantea is somewhere on Mars. We don't know where because he has been in hiding since (and long before) the UN came. We know that he is a figure of legend. It is more of a rumor, but people are pretty sure that he was on Mars for some time. If what the rumors say are true, he can throw the PKs back to Terra. He's some kind of martial arts master who fought the UN in hand-to-hand combat and won. Some of the older residents know him, but won't say anything important about him.

The GIMP, Adobe Photoshop, and PaintShop Pro are commonly used raster editors. Raster allows editing at the pixel level. Compared to vector graphics, which is at the shape level, raster is a lot more messy. But messy is good. There are a lot of things that a raster artist can do. I hope to explain them.
