This week we have an opportunity to catch our breath before Angie pursues a final course of action.
Midwife, aborted Page 20
Dystopia: Chapter 2 – Midwife, Aborted, Page 20. Angie and 8244, Tribunal midwives in light blue bodysuits and white battle masks, reach the vast chamber housing the massive cylindrical “Ophan.” Defenders confront the midwives and an intense battle takes place.
The massive Ophan Guard in heavy tech-infused armor with a dimly visible face behind a visor, wielding amber energy blades from oversized gauntlets approaches Angie. From an internal readout, we can see communication and data streaming directly to Angie - the other midwife is showing no signs of life. The Ophan howls in the background. . Angie focuses on the limb that 8244 had torn from the guards body lying on the floor, energy blade glowing.
Angie dashes towards the guard sliding to pick up the arm as the guard swings with brutal force, its weapon shrieking SSSZZZINNGGG! Angie rises behind the guard and in the next instant, they leap onto the Ophan carrying the guards arm. Angie scales the side of the Ophan, surveying the battlefield with an over the shoulder glance.
Angie emerges atop the Ophan and heads toward the series of cables that connect to the machine and rise to the ceiling. The final panel lingers close, showing 8244's determined face as they focus on the cables and raise the guard's arm and energy blade above their shoulder.
