- John
In the comfort of cold Château de Confiance, Lieutenant Nick Blade thought how touching the letter was when he struck a match and held the paper against the flame. All correspondence by Sergeant John Howard was being forwarded to him as per the orders he had issued. It was only a matter of time before John wrote to Dana.
At the edge of town at Espoirs Brisés Prison, Dana stood facing the cell of her lover and friend. As John looked up, he caught the sadness in her eyes and returned it genuinely. She doubted that he had done the crime and she doubted that he hadn’t. He knew how that felt. Because he doubted that she could be trusted just as much as he doubted she couldn’t. They had become lovers and enemies all at once.

Here’s a sneak peek into the story...
“2040. That is a year that will live in infamy in our history. That year, Dr. Zack Temba and Biolance unleashed a scourge, a lethal virus, on all of us that eliminated millions of the Journeymen around the world, reducing the rest of us to mere subjects under his reign. Most of those killed were key figures of society and scientists whom he knew would stand in the way of his plans. Let me remind you, my fellow Keepers, that our raison d’être is the survival of the Journeymen - the human race that is helpless against science. That is why we exist.”
He halted in his tracks as he listened for her movements. He saw a telling branch waving rather vigorously and walked towards it. Confident, he continued speaking, “Amidst the conflict, rose a woman of courage and destiny, willing to risk her life to save humanity. Captain Dana Reeves. She has led rebellion after rebellion in a bid to restore unity and peace in our age. That, children, is the example you have before you. She is a lesson to you all. The symbol that you must carry with you as you train to liberate us all. She, children, is the reason why you must make the best use of the knowledge you gain now in 2049 so that good may conquer evil once and for all in the future. A being such as her and the hope she carries with her is why humanity must endure the tyrannical rule of Dr. Zack Temba.”
