Renegade Rhetoric
The meek and timid Tail Pipe wanted to become aGuardian,but he worried too much about what others thought of him, and had trouble asserting himself or making decisions. This was a particular problem in hisGuardian Academyclass alongside his gregarious and outgoing fellow cadets,Bent Wing,Raizor,andSuper Couper.After messing up constantly in training exercises, and even suffering a Renegade surprise attack during the last one, these "Robo Rebel"cadets came under suspicion from theGuardian Councilas potential Renegade spies.
Tail Pipe reluctantly went along with his fellow cadets when they disobeyed orders to remain in their quarters, and went looking for proof that someone else alerted the Renegades to the last training mission. At the Guardian Council chambers, Tail Pipe perused the computer records and determined only their training instructor,Major Mo,and CouncilorBladezknew the location of the last exercise in advance. Before they could digest this information, the cadets heard a commotion and rushed to an adjoining room to find High CouncilorZeemonblasted and neat death. The Council's security force arrived moments later, apparently catching the Robo Rebels in the act!Rebels Without a Circuit
