Category: Jeremiah

His name is Frederick Monash, and he’s a survivor of the Big Death. He’s on the run from Daniel’s forces, and he’s trying to reach the resistance, but has to go into hiding just before he can meet with them. Jeremiah’s father knew him, at Valhalla Sector, when he was working on a top-secret plan called Project Backfire, designed to keep Valhalla Sector’s more militant leaders from grabbing too much power – but no one ever knew if he lived long enough in the outside world to set that plan into motion. Monash’s mission was to create a new government that would challenge Valhalla Sector’s secretive tactics, and if a leader couldn’t be found to lead that new society, one would be invented. But somewhere along the way, Project Backfire lived up to its name and became even more vicious than Valhalla Sector itself, and its leader is indeed the one Monash dreamed up – and his name is Daniel.

As Jeremiah continues to chafe against his duties as the mayor of Millhaven, Marcus continues to send teams out from Thunder Mountain with radios for the cities that make up the alliance. Kurdy and Smith, making a radio supply run, decide to visit Jeremiah and give him a break from it all, but this break from his duties is anything but relaxing; the town where they were due to drop radios off has been razed to the ground by Sims and his thugs, with only a few of the residents living long enough to escape the carnage. The area is land-mined as well, and Kurdy’s vehicle is destroyed, along with the only way to call Thunder Mountain for backup. The three wander south to seek help, instead finding that Sims has set up camp nearby with a radio jammer capable of taking down the very communications network they’re trying to build.

LogBook entry by Earl Green

Even as Daniel’s troops close in on Thunder Mountain, Smith insists on taking Jeremiah and Kurdy to a children’s home that neither of them has ever seen before. There, a few adult survivors of the Big Death have banded together to shepherd the next generation of the human race toward their own adulthood. And they’ve made a discovery: the new generation of children is smarter than previous generations, and at a much younger age, though no one knows if this is evolution at work, or a side effect of the virus. Smith hopes that the home can be protected, but Marcus can’t guarantee this when an attack closes his supply lines right on the doorstep of Thunder Mountain. Worse yet, evidence is uncovered of sabotage taking place within the complex – Sims’ people are already inside. And on the eve of battle, when Jeremiah discovers how and why Libby really died, it seems there’s little chance that he’ll forgive either Sims or Smith.
