We make it back to the shuttle, which is now empty. We didn’t encounter anyone else on the way. As we were running down the halls, I swear I saw the purple man again, watching us from afar, grinning. When I did a double take he was gone again. I have an odd feeling that we didn’t fully kill the rest of Plasamic up here. Emund and I hop into the front seats of the vehicle and Emund fires it up. We’re ejected from the station, diving towards Earth. I look out at the planet. I would expect to see a world about to be free or something. But instead I gaze upon a new and permanent ice age.
