I don’t know why I’m spending time setting up the new world of the 22nd century, except that it allows us to see where our heroes’ heads are at. Is everything peachy? Well, no. Does Jacob still care? Eh…

Jacob: I spent so much time trying to keep her alive...now they're worried that I'm gonna kill her. Just because she's getting into politics.
Roger: Looks like she's going to run for Congress.
Jacob: Of course she will. Then for President, if she wants it.
Roger: You worried about that?
Jacob: Not my problem. I'm retired. You know why I kept saving you two? Youth. Whatever was wrong with the world...Lola and I had gotten too old to fix it. For better or worse, Girii is the future. Keeping you two safe...gave me a little hope.
Roger: You feel that way even after she tried to kill you?
Jacob: Bah. Eventually, the young always murder the old. You can't take that personally.

President? But she’s Canadian! ^_-
Or did she get a forged Hawaiian birth certificate?
I read on the internet it’s been done before… ^_^
