Summary of Hardware #34 (Dec. 1995), from now-defunct webpage at http://milestone.luthor.com/comics_detail.asp?ID=166&:
We see some mercs in South America. Hard Co. has become an overnight success supplying much of Alva's clients as that company is in limbo. Phreaky Deak (Hard Co. founder) is fighting a hacker from stealing some files. We get our first glimpse of the mercs (Lender, Duke, Archer) as they decide to send Fuselage to get the file physically. Hardware fights and defeats Fuselage, and Fuselage is mysteriously killed.
