Author's Notes from the Zine
"WAF" is a continuation of a storyline begun in Robin 5. ("The Brothers Kuryakin") from Channel L. It is not necessary to have read the robin but some explanation is necessary. Captured by the diabolical Dr. Dabree, Illya was subjected to a machine that produced physically identical replicants of him, although emotionally the men represented Illya at different stages of his life. Two replicants survived at the end of Robin 5. In order to keep confusion to a minimum, the replicants altered their appearance and chose different names. IK dyed his hair brown and got a new cut. Nick, the "youngest" brother," let his hair and beard grow. A mysterious KGB agent, Yuri Kirov, surfaced in Robin 5, and Napoleon learned that he had a sexual history with Illya. "WAF" opens within a week of the ending of Robin 5, with Nick and IK still in Buffalo and Yuri away at Langley being debriefed by the CIA. Illya knows he must be honest with Napoleon about his past if they are to remain Network partners and share a life together. Another secret, which Illya can't quite bring himself to real in "WAF" is disclosed in the short story "Shenanigan," and is a valuable along with "The Brothers Kuryakin" (available from Marion McChesney.)
