The time-line of this story has me confused. Our little gang of sub-atomic travellers has been traversing the microverse for a few weeks now. Or . . . at least as far as Countdown is concerned. But this week they're back in Ryan's house and getting ready to go down on his dog. Sorry! That wasn't meant to sound like that. I meant . . . Ryan has told them of the alien race that lives microscopically on the dogs around Ivy Town, his included. So the plan is to go down to this alien race and see if they know anything about Ray Palmer. The part that has me confused is . . . did they come back to Ryan's house? Did they give up on the other search and decide to try something different? Or does this story take place before the other part of the story? It's not a huge concern, but a little footnote would be nice. "This story takes place before . . . ." whatever. So that part of the continuity of all of this is just going to have to be a mystery. So anyways, they don't get a lot of answers but, at the end, they find a note scrawled in blood that says, "Ryan, Turn Back! Ray Palmer". So it's either a lead or a mislead. But, up on the surface, it would appear that the Dean may have something to do with this. Or at the least he knows more than he's let on. He knows about the Monitors, he knows that they're down on the dog, and he says that there's "an experiment he's been working on", that he "can't let them find Ray to soon" and that he's "played with this young man long enough". I would say that all makes him a pretty good suspect. Anyways, I'm sure this story will carry on for at least another 6 months, so it's all kind of inconsequential right now. It'll all fit when they want it to all fit.
