The story of the ISS Buttershark starts on page 1 ("Us? Heroes?";) . If you turn a page backward (before page 1), the Regional Map is there.


And so it is...and it is also there in my own copy. I guess I don't need it after all. Guess I should have looked harder first...right after the table of contents. Should also explain why you don't have it, Deus. I don't suppose you'd like a copy, would you?

I couldn't help but notice that on the picture of the tandelou, there's somekind of flying creature that's not in the game. I wonder if that could be a dersetche or something?


Something like that, I'm sure. I'm sure they say where it is somewhere during the course of the game, but I really wonder what world the Tandelou worship the MVT on. It doesn't make sense for it to be on one Tandelou world or another, but a neutral world makes sense. Besides, the only creature on either Tandelou world that flies is Electric Balloon, and that thing is clearly not an Electric Balloon.

I doubt the flying creature is a Deretche. Though it does look like a flying, carnivourous plant, the fact that it hasn't tried to devour the Tandelou would indicate it's something else. Probably just an artist's extra touch. Who knows, though...might make for another lifeform type that can be added to SF3.
