After June 13th...


Claire!

Your brother started an underground railroad for evolved humans.

There's a unit inside the police department to compromise the railroad.

Things go to whatever place you're thinking about when you touch them.

What kind of demented place is this?

[all grunting]

I need my files so I can track down an Evo named Molly Walker.

She can locate anyone just by thinking about them.

Renautas is using Molly Walker's powers to create a new technology.

We got to get to Midian and save Molly.


We have Molly Walker.

Can you really give an Evo the same legal rights as a human?

There's nothing in the Bill of Rights that says we should.

I need this.

While governments become more and more polarized and too paralyzed to affect any real change, we must rely on ourselves to find solutions to the dire problems humanity faces.
