Setting up is not the same as running

Using nano-technology, Malta has reverse engineered and enhanced the Praetorian protesters' rocks.

Having it break through into our dimension, using an area with a high level of DE like, say, Eden, would be a good chance for a zone revamp, a revamp of the DE in general, and the introduction of a couple of nature themed power sets, or something similar

Why? The SSAs are about world changing events - an roganization to rival Arachnos = a new enemy group - and they've been adding those to the game since it launched - all SSA2 needs to do is presetn a story where the player is responsible in some way for the new group appearing.
For example, the Talons of Vengeance are a new villain group - they were introduced in First Ward, and expanded into DA - they came out of "nowhere", and had FW to set up their story and how it relates to the rest of the game world, and DA helped establish them as a major threat - so there's nothing stopping the devs from adding another new Villain group to the game, and then expanding it in later Issues as it grows in power - only this time, instead of adding a new zone with story arcs to give the new group context and motivation, they can do it through SSA2, with the player having a key role in the creation and rise of the group.
With the Talons example, imagine that there had been an SSA style arc starting in I20, that over the months built up to a finale where the player was able to release the Talons into Praetoria - this is then followed up by the Talons being added to the game in I21, and then expaned on in I22 - nothing is different from how it is now, except that there was a story arc that let the players be responsible for them appearing in the game world.

There have been massive hints with the Red Widow, Scirocco and Mu'Vorkan storylines that Arachnos is going to ahev amjaor skale up in the near future, and as SSA1 focused on changes to the main hero group in the game, it's quite posisble that SSA2 will focus on changes to the main villain group in the game, linked to the rise of a new group that the player is responsible fro in some way.

Being dead is an extreme makover

The CoH comicbook is currently discontinued - but I was referring to the Issue 23 content patch

It's the cover for this issue of the CoH comicbook, which features storylines involving Penny and Shadow Hunter

But we've never seen if Penny sits like that or not

Got any examples to back that up? Or do you just mean something like Katie Douglas in FW ignoring the earlier morality choice with her?

This is a comicbook game - female Mu would have no binding on their midriff, and some kind of cleavage window in the bindings on their upper bodies

All the War Walkers are to help emphasize our victory at Lambda Sector - the War Walkers are a vital part of the loyalist invasion plan, and show up in regular mobs in the Sutter, Apex, Tin Mage, BAF and Lambda events, but after that, they only show up as unique enemies in Keyes and the UG, then are gone completely from the later part of the war, just like the ACUs, BCUs and Victorias disappear from Tyrant's forces once we capture the Keyes reactors and stop the loyalists' supply of power cores for their war robots, and the Seers are gone once we smash the loyalist thought police in the MoM Trial.

It's comfortable if you tuck both legs under, or sit with both of them drawn up, but not one of each

With both legs is fine - it's the way she's got her strangely shaped left leg stuck out like that that's the problem - along with her broken pelvis and squashed lower torso

There certainly is with the loyalists - apart from a couple of Praetors, the dictatorship is pretty much a boys only club - the PPD are all male, the IDF are all male, the Olympian Guard are are all male, and the Seers are all slaves - even Diabolique was enslaved by Tyrant.
And apart from IVy, none of the Victorias have even been programmed to present a female personality.

I think that's it's more likely that they're just a bit too trusting

Only when they've been corrupted by evil men

Well, the red side version of SSA2 features the villain players working to set up a new evil organization to rival Arachnos - assuming that they succeed, then it's highly likely that the new villain group will be added to the game for everyone, not just for people who've played SSA2, which would follow the pattern of SSA1 - players get to expereince a world changing event in "real time" as the episodes are rolled out, and then the game world is adjusted to reflect the new reality after the arc, and the arc becomes a "historical" arc.

That wouldn't be the permanent change to the gameworld that the SSAs are meant to cause - they're meant to move the game world forwards for everyone, not just the people who play the arcs, because the meta-storyline requires certain basic truths to make future content coherent.

I think they're just tryng to make the game world more relaistic

Yes, they are.
