Another year of
Dr. Schlock is explored in the Webcomic.
Plot
The story begins with Dr.Schlock drawing another triangle of strategy while mourning that they lost one of it's most important part: Oasis. Kusari appears behind him and quickly explode Schlock, which promptly reveals that the true Schlock is hidding himself through inflatable decoys and complained that was the worse year of his life as the Hereti-Corp CEO.
The story than jumps to the beginning of the same year, where its shown that Schlock has negotiated with Dr. NoFun over the contract of the female biochemical scientist Biyu Daiyu, which NoFun reluctantly agrees to gave him but quickly mocks Schlock for hiring a woman, the latter who quickly (though awkwardly) befriends with with Dr. Shankraft and Reynold Strom. The researchers of Hereti-Corp do many experiments whose intents confuses them, particulary Shankraft, who's forced to create a "giant" version of a nanite, to give five times the fuel and potency of a Rea-1's propellants (which end up in Indian, as shown in the previous story), and creating a fire-proof and breathing duck with the help (and to the chagrin) of Biyu Daiyu. When Shankraft confronts Schlock of why he was forced to make such stupidy experiments, Schlock reveals that was all a training to prepare him(Shankraft) to create hand held versions of the Dimensional Flux Agitator, which leads to Schlock earns Shankraft's respect. Frog gets a robotic, power-armored and a cape, which leads Strom to seriously questions his employers sanity, and even more when when Gennaro (who was hired to keep his eyes on Schlock) informed him that Schlock have become too obsessed in spy Torg (he goes as far as to even analize a photo of Kiki's buttocks). Because of this, he decided to betray the Hereti-Corp to claim Oasis' bounty by cutting of the latters head. To add a insult, he freed all the prisoners from their cells, and their attempt to stop strom only leads him to shoot at Schlock's shoulder and blowing up most of Herit-Corp's building. Despite this, Schlock manages to recovers from his injures and recapture Deadalus, but the Zalias are still beyond his grasp. When Schlock tried to enlist Dr. Chen in his researches, he accidentaly reinstated Chen as the CEO, who promtly exploits the situation to send Kusari on a murderous rampage, targeting dr. Schlock and leading to the deaths of several agents (including Gennaro and Corsica). Schlock is forced to hide himself in a panic room, but by the next day, he turns the table by revealing the he still is the majority stockholder, and since that Chen have already killed or chased out all the other investors from the bulding, Sclock quickly retakes his position and subdues Chen with Kusari, but Chen convinced Schlock to spare his life by pointing out that he still needed of his knowleadge over Steve Hereti's lab and Kusari will be not enough to protect him from his enemies.
Despite the previous incidents, a weaponized version of the D-F-A gun is completed, but the experience of the year leaves Schlock afraid and distrustful from everyone to the point of only interact with them though decoys or video screens, particulary towards Kusari, who he orders to stay away from him (she tried to remenber him that she as only recieving orders, but the damage was already done and schlock lost all his trust and professional respect on her). It's reveled in a reunion that Corsica has alread died a long ago and that the Hereti-Corp agents repeatedly replaced her with another frog in order to not traumatize Frog. Schlock then enlist Biyu Daiyu to create a "Happy Juice", no matter how expensive, and when Shankraft informs Schlock that the whole humanity would declare war against them once that Schlock start to use the D-F-A hand gun, he decided to create a large fortress to hide them once that this happens and recruits Shankraft to build a giant D-F-A gun at its top. The story finishes suggesting that the Sluggy Prime might have the same fate of the Dimension of Rain.
