Finally we see at least a small portion of Penance's mind in play. Penance is watching the conflict between Banshee and the White Queen while they argue whether or not they are going to agree to Emplate's demands...to give him Penance and he will reveal were GenX is. At this point in time, GenX is running from the Sentinels and have come across Tores' underground car forum. This is the chance for Monet to put down Chamber about his feelings towards Husk. Now we get a sappy display of affection and understanding between the two...'nuff said. Only problem is that the Sentinels are multipling while they talk. Back to White Queen and Banshee, looks like they ended the conversation...with one of White Queen's psionic lightning bolts to Banshee's head! She then psionically commands Penance to follow her to DOA (Emplate's sidekick) in order to hand her over to Emplate. At Bastions headquarters Jubilee is starting to lose it when Daria decides that she is a freak too and free's Jubilee. Now the weird yet interesting part...what do you do when you're faced with your death? Synch decides that he will kiss Monet...and she agreed! Better look out for those Sentinels guys cause here they come...
