The prisoners inside the asylum cages, some too weak to stand, others beaten and broken into shells of themselves, can hear whispers that something has changed inside the cells, can hear singing, and rattling of bars, hollers of ‘let us out!’ The cries of freedom, get louder and drown out the darkened despair of lives lost to brutality, to Lord Anderson’s war.

Helga Ritter was not on the lower deck when Alexand chased her footsteps. But Alexand knew Helga would escape, because the Amanojuko Lady had always escaped, and would forever in an endless cycle escape from this ship, on this day.

Cordelia Gray wishes her film crew had been transported to Alexand’s garden with her, but the consummate reporter knows this is probably the biggest scoop of her career. She has a recording device inside her writer, which has captured the whole conversation, and she is hungry for much more.

The School of Applied Resurrection is the world leader in resurrecting the dead from the war battered original earth. Although still in its infancy, technology has advanced enough to grow cloned bodies in days, rather than months.

Disguised as a Kyo-ashita guard, Future Alexand (although not an intruder on the ship) thought it best to observe the events of the past, incognito.

The Guild Master’s General has had the audacity to take Katherine with him on the very same cart ride that Alexand’s father is on. Neither of them is phased out of focus and are corporeal. The Guild Masters General has replaced his balaclava with a Stetson hat, and his sunglasses have clear lenses, so they look like ordinary glasses. They are both a few seats behind Eric Mehmed. Thankfully Eric doesn’t recognise Katherine as they had never met, although Alexand told her father a lot about the woman she fell in love with, so Katherine has insisted that the Guild Master’s General call her by her middle name, Anastasia.
