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.

We’re going to take a short detour to check on the remaining Genocide Men.  Jacob’s bad day is being noticed back at home.

Roger's Narration: ...Back at the G.U.S. building in London, at the Genocide Project headquarters...there were a few people who knew everything. You've probably heard their names in history class. Peter Pup. Kevin Kidd. Lola Lamb. Jacob Doe. Joey. I got this security footage much, much later. If I had seen it then, I probably would have run.
Kevin: Lola. It's good of you to come in.
Lola: Calling me out of retirement, Kevin? It better be urgent. Get me up to speed.
Kevin: Jacob's genocide case has gone offline. Last telemetry from it suggests he may have been attacked. He hasn't contacted us. He may be dead, but there's no word of a retribution virus in the area.
Lola: Oh, god, not Jacob. He's always been our moral center.
Kevin: If a mercenary like Jacob is our 'moral center', then we are well and justly damned.
Lola: Yes, of course we are. If you ever retire, you'll know that for certain. Some nights I can almost feel Satan licking his chops.
