Tom and Hester had been flying for several hours now, but the death filled green glow still loomed around the Jennys' cabin, still highlighting the scars etched across Hester's' face. "Tom, where are we supposed to go?" she questioned, but only getting silence in response. Eventually Tom answered, "I don't know... My city is gone? Everyone I knew is dead, even poor Anna Fang! What did we do to deserve all this death around us?"

"You didn't do anything, this was greed, and the ancient technologies." she snapped, "and besides we still have each other...That's all that matters" she glanced at tom, sitting in the green glow, flicking switches on the panel ahead of him, still wearing his heavy aviators coat, covered in Annas' blood and powdered glass, despite this he still looked so innocent? Then a smile came, "I know i have you, What else could I need?" The Jenny carried on limping across the sky, a thing of deranged beauty...

Londons' remains we're lying in the snow, a light night rain beginning to fall, and a buzzing in the air, with the same green glow around it,already some scavenger towns we're crawling along the ashes to find anything of interest. Just a few hours before London was Destroyed by the Medusa, an ancient weapon of the sixty minute war, it had been housing an army of Dr. Popjoys' "Stalkers" heading towards Shan Guo, to battle the Anti-Traction league, but lost to the hands of a technology they dont quite understand, a weapon that destroyed a past world... The walls of St. Pauls' Cathedral we're still crumbling to the ground, and dotted around there were few charred skulls, as the rest we're completely destroyed. Some ashes began stirring, and burnt metallic hands shot up from beneath, on some, inner-mechanics we're exposed and sparking, hauling their bodies out of the ashes, then the eyes came out into the tinted darkness, green circles glaring around at the sky and ash, as they stood up long claws slid stealthily from their wrists and twisted into place, these are the resurrected men, the dead being brought back with technology, another aspect taken from a deadly past, all they can think of is to kill and hunt, however they are now better known as... The Stalkers.
