I want people to smile — did you notice? Funerals always end up with someone smiling: it’s natural, it’s Life taking over Death.

Chapter 19, Page 10

All right, this should be the last wordy page for a while.  I mean, the stage is as set as it can get.  And the kids tend to go quiet when Jacob starts shooting.

↓ Transcript
Jacob: Msaka didn't have artillery. Not sure how she breached the building.
Roger: Kamikaze drones. Kentaro downed them all just before he lost control. Which means that G.U.S. air power is on its way.
Jacob: Yeah, we're all gonna die. Worry about that later. Helipad looks good. Okay. First we need to find a safe place for you two. I'd have left you back in Folkestone, Roger, but I need your hacking tools. Girii...I forgot why I brought you along.
Girii: You didn't. I decided to come.
Jacob: Right. Friggin' empaths and civilians, stay behind me.

  1. Just the way I like it — Less wordy, more shooty.

  2. Ro'Wan says:

    Not to be a condescending prig, but why does Jacob look like he’s hefting the offspring of a Deagle and a 20mm AA gun?

  3. Pat Scaramuzza says:

    The railgun has been rendered in several different ways. Just assume that if Jacob’s holding it, it’s the same old railgun. 🙂
