Orson’s interrogation begins, but he’s not exactly rolling over the way Ifrit would like.

Julian’s questions leave Orson feeling cold, but this day could get much, much worse.

News Media outlets in Trinity are rarely of an unbiased nature seeing as all of them are run by different Houses in the Inner City. Broadcasts and reporting anywhere outside of the Inner City are spun by the House media commission to whatever best benefits the party with the most power. For example, shortly after the announcement of Everett becoming Yvonne’s hier he got a cold. Seeing as he was a miserable mess (and probably contagious) Yvonne put him on bedrest. The Pierce News Network spun this as Yvonne reconsidering her decision, and that the fate of House Heritage was left to an, “old and infirm woman who can’t remember what she had for breakfast much less who she chose as an heir.”

Back in the Halo, Logan relishes seeing Constance’s anxiety at seeing someone from her past, and Julian pushes Orson for answers.

The skill of driving isn’t necessary to many in Trinity. In fact it’s seen largely as a trade skill. For Outer City citizens driving or flying is something to put on the resume, a skill used to obtain the next job. For those of Inner Trinity driving is a leisure activity, and considered quite old fashioned by comparison to flight. Flying is a pastime in Inner Trinity used as both a means of showcasing status, providing transport to other city states and blowing off steam. Logan’s interest in flight has pushed his hobby to new heights. House Pierce holds popular airshows and has a dedicated “flight club” for Inner Trinity’s elite. Pierce even has a limited run of luxury flight crafts that are personally overseen by Logan himself. These crafts are sold exclusively to Inner City citizens or visiting dignitaries.

Toshi’s monologue might actually be something Markesha needs to hear.

Markesha’s been called out, but father and daughter are talking past each other.

Toshi’s headphones are, much like his computer deck, an ancient model. They’re new to him, though! A gift given to him by Markesha for his last birthday, he treasures this little bit of uncomplicated technology that allow him to listen to music.

Audrey makes a tempting offer to Markesha, but time is running out. So ends Act 2! This one has been a huge marathon for us, and we’re looking forward to what comes next.

We also just upgraded our store and added some awesome new products. Check it out!

Audrey answers more of Markesha’s questions, and the answers aren’t particularly comforting.
