And we are now officially starting the aftermath.  If you’ll indulge me for a few pages, I’d like to say goodbye to a few characters and the world of the 22nd century.  The big question is whether it will be stable, or will they need someone like Jacob again?

Roger voice over: ...and you know what happened in the aftermath. Senegal joined G.U.S., and President Msaka is an advocate for deviant rights. Chrysalis pods were installed in every hospital.

    Peace?

    This, too, shall pass…

  2. Ro'Wan says:

    Unfortunately there will always be a place for men like Jacob Doe…………………
    Also, what does roger mean by “hacked”?
    By whom? And why?

    • Unmaker says:

      I am guessing it is a “choose your own deviation” hack – change into what you want instead of what the operator indicates.

      • Jay says:

        Yeah, but wouldn’t that be hacking the process, not the pod?

        What happens to the next person to come in?

  3. Chuk says:

  4. Repulsive Icon says:

    It looks to me like that is Jacob, and the ‘hack’ could be him selecting certain people to become similar to a Genocide Man when they are in the pod.
