Stood in firelight, sweltering. Bloodstain on chest like map of violent new continent. Felt cleansed. Felt dark planet turn under my feet and knew what cats know that makes them scream like babies in night.

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. 🙂
