In the previous Vader comics, Doctor Alpha found herself working for Vader. She is excellent at working with droids but her main job is grave robbing and selling to the highest bidder. The ones who help her with this are a Wookie named Black Krrsantan,, who she promised that she would help with a homeworld problem, and a series killer droid named Tripple 0 who was utterly devoted to her and then his partner in crime Beep;
Right now they have a seller on their backs with whom they owe money to. He has figured out that Alpha wants to avoid Imperial entanglements he just doesn't know that it's of the highest kind: Darth Vader. Tripple 0 won't stand for her being threatened and he knows the guy has a brother who can take over and perhaps be a better boss so he takes care of business.
Meanwhile, when Aphra goes to sell her stuff she is told she is not qualified to do so as she is not a doctor; It's all been stripped away from her and there's her father saying he did it and he wants her to help him on his damn fool quest that he's been chasing his whole life;
It seems the race called the Orcu and the Jedi met at one time in a secret place that her father needs help getting to. He believes there is much knowledge to be gained from this meeting, Alpha doubts it ever took place; At the same time they've pissed off the Imperials who are chasing them across the Galaxy by a woman who cannot afford to fail again;.
I really like Doctor Alpha. She's pretty amazing which you can tell by the loyalty of the crew she mans. She's smart, she's witty, she's always flying by the seat of her pants. Remind you of someone else in this galaxy? But I really love Tripple 0. I mean a serial killer droid? What's not to love? His banter with Beep is pretty funny too. I give this comic a five out of five stars.
