Midwife, aborted Page 9


Dystopia Chapter 2 - Midwife, aborted - Page 9: Continued story featuring Angie and 8244, two synthetically enhanced humanoids known as midwives. Angie struggles with their obligation to the "Tribunal" and the guilt and emotional numbness the feel after dispatching a team of orderlies. The two find the building empty and conclude that the remaining workers have fled. As the midwives continue to explore the facility, a voice speaks to them through wall mounted loud speakers. The voice urges Angie to return, leveraging memories of their family. 8244 is praised for their genetic profile and their vital role in the Tribunal’s efforts to establish genetic supremacy.

Chapter 02: Midwife, aborted – Page 09

Page Notes: Our wordsmith, Jackwraith is never one to spoon feed the reader, and there's a lot to unpack in this week's page from the  Dystopia comic. 

Front the jump, Angie is dealing with conflicting thoughts & emotions in the first panel... We learn a bit more about the facility, and the Tribunal's efforts. Additionally, we learn more about the Nefeshim and the potential impact that they are having on Angie and 8244. Finally, we gain insight as to the role that the Tribunal has defined for themselves in governing society. And that's the first panel.

Later in the page, we hear from the Counselor who reaches out to the pair of midwives - the subtext of these messages include continued themes of manipulation, imposed identify, and control. As they listen, 8244 appears to be mesmerized, staring intently at the loudspeaker.

Creative Notes: For comic creators, we've included a podcast links in a recent post that may be helpful and enterntaining.
