Back to my standard artstyle (until I think of the next experiement to try…)
.
Emilio's not being especially endearing… But myabe he doesn't know how much time he has with Kimber Lee, and is trying to get the ‘important stuff’ out of the way first. Plus, the last time he saw Kimber Lee she was doing her best Borg Impression. Then again, maybe he's just being a jerk - tough times turn some people into those…
.
Mom and Dad decided to come to this reunion too - nice of them! ;)
.
Thanks for Reading Everyone!!

@tupapayon: Yeah, when faced with such a choice, conventional wisdom says save the many over the few... but when those few are your loved ones and family, some might say screw conventional wisdom...! I might be one of them - I hope I never have to find out!! As for Kimber Lee getting out of this - we shall see...!

I hate to choose between two evils… though I'd never being in the position of holding weapons of mass destruction… but we shall se how Kimber gets out of this situation…

@plymayer: This is a dilemma I've thought about... What if, say, a terrorist group said you had to choose between your kids and giving them the capability to launch all of the U.S.'s Nukes? Or to give them vials of the most lethal incurable pathogens at the CDC in Atlanta? I hope I'm never in such a dilemma!! In any case, it may be that Kimber Lee doesn't really know how to give them what they want... yet! The decision could also be taken out of her hands....!

@Peipei: Maybe we'll get to see some of their plans - maybe... not!

I'm sorry if it was family, I'd have to give the jerk anything he wants.
Peipei at 10:47PM, Feb. 22, 2015
Well crap...They've got her entire family here. In my opinion, this is akin to a hostage situation sort of x.x...I wonder what they plan to do to them, testing only maybe?

@Ghosty: Yeah, reminds me of the graphic novel 'a Contract with God'!! - very different thing though!!
KimLuster at 2:57PM, Feb. 22, 2015
@Tupapayon: Yeah it most certainly can! The Tlatelolco Massacre October 2, 1968!! So much crazy, scary stuff happened in 1968! Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy Assassinations! Tet offensive! Prague Spring! There's whole books about it!!
ghostrunner at 2:16PM, Feb. 22, 2015
yeah contracting divinity

Sometimes we don't think things like this happen in real life… so naive… 2 de Octubre no se olvida…

@Bravo: A journalist might not have time to do so... *wink*

No one has any civil rights when it comes to matters of national security. At least not in fiction. What this story needs is the hungry journalist who wants to blow the story wide open.

@tupapayon: Out of curiosity, I looked up the origin of the word 'jerk' - very interesting...! But nah, not all men... And I've known a few lady jerks...! :D http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2010/02/17/etymology-of-the-day-jerk
KimLuster at 7:28PM, Feb. 21, 2015
@Banes: Yeah... me too!
tupapayon at 2:57PM, Feb. 21, 2015
All men are jerks… I'm one of them… or is it just a few of us?… anyways, nice of them to have captured mom and dad… leverage…
Banes at 9:36AM, Feb. 21, 2015
Aw, poor Dyson - the stress is getting to him. Maybe it's getting to Emilio, too - he's scared, and worried about his kids, and himself. It does make me hate him a little bit, the way he's acting...

@Sky: Heya!! You're first!! (hands you a cappuccino) (your comment prev page) yeah I'm still not totally happy with my style. I'm trying to find the best balance between getting a page out quickly and having it look good! Still looking...! (this page) Yeah, the MIB-types obviously think this group could've been infected - it'll be touched on next page! But you're right - I think any military would be interested in having soldiers with the abilities the Godstrain gives, provided they can control it (that's a big 'provided'!)
skyangel at 6:35AM, Feb. 21, 2015
Wow look, I'm first! I never expected this day to arrive! lol This really is a family reunion isn't it!!! Interesting situation though. With all the infected victims contained it should be under control but my main concerns are that for one I don't feel confident they do have them all. (Didn't her interrogator kiss her a few pages back?) and secondly I feel the military are too interested in the possibility of using these people themselves to bury this lot for good.
