Как и обещал.

My Lord Kurita,

It is with the deepest regret that I must inform you of dire news. Contact with one of our agents in the Lyran Alliance has been lost, and we believe he is now dead. Deeply ashamed am I that I must admit to you that I cannot tell from where his last message originated.

Before you is the final fax he was able to send out. The fax is incomplete, diagnostic reconstruction from the Black Box logs indicates at least 90% of the message was lost in transmission. After data reconstruction the only readable information was “Striga, OmniFighter” and this image.

My lord, I ordered a team of our best analysts to investigate this picture and I will inform you of any findings.

Your humble servant,

Peter Abdulsattah

Ух... Первая иллюстрация работы Эванса, которая мне действительно нравится.

The strix or striga (pl. striges; occasionally corrupted to stirge) was an Ancient Roman legendary creature, usually described as a nocturnal bird of ill omen that fed on human flesh and blood, like a vampire. Unlike later vampires, it was not a revenant—a risen corpse—but the product of metamorphosis.

Дизайн чем-то напоминает Небожителей. Возможно в дополнение к Демонам и Небожителям будет серия из шести омнифайтеров?

Это вполне логичное предположение. Возможно узнаем в этом TRO.

Ух ты. Красавец.

Striga
may refer to:
* A legendary Roman vampiric creature; see strix (mythology)
* A parasitic weed; see Striga (plant)

The strix or striga (pl. striges; occasionally corrupted to stirge) was an Ancient Roman legendary creature, usually described as a nocturnal bird of ill omen that fed on human flesh and blood, like a vampire. Unlike later vampires, it was not a revenant—a risen corpse—but the product of metamorphosis. The name is Greek in origin and means "owl", with which bird it is usually identified (the name of the genus Strix follows this meaning).

Так что по названию можно с уверенностью судить о происхождении и принадлежности "птычки"
