From the continuing webcomic series Dystopia: Chapter 2 - Midwife, aborted Page 15. Angie and 8244, midwives dressed in light blue body suits and bright white battle masks have fought their way to the "Ophan". In an expansive chamber with vaulted ceilings, the Ophan dominates the space… A towering, cylindrical machine lined with three rows of pods that line the exterior circumference of the cylinder. Encased within each pod of the mechanical structure is a human figure restrained and physically connected to the machine. Angie approaches one of the "supplicants" secured upright to machine, metal restraints around his wrists. His body is thin and veiny, and we can see energy streaming from their eyes. The supplicant screams in a combination of rage, confusion, and pain as energy continues to emit from their glowing red eyes. As Angie approaches the Ophan, their vision is increasingly obscured by digital distortion and a nefeshim comes into the picture. The flying sprite-like creature turns to face Angie revealing a thin, boney body and a head with one large green eye.
