How It All Goes Down
El Capitan (New)
- Back to the always-entertaining shenanigans of El Capitan and Helmud.
- Helmud saved El Capitan's life in Pure, so now El Capitan lets his brother fiddle with things to test him; he gave him a knife recently, as if to say, go ahead and kill me. It'll be easy.
- Oh, what a jokester.
- Today though, Helmud is shaking more often than not. That's ominous.
- While outside, El Capitan hears something: a group of Special Forces. Recently he's noticed that the Special Forces aren't as strong and creature-like as the last ones. It seems like they're programming has been rushed.
- Psst, probably because it has been.
- The group he sees runs away, but when he turns around he finds a skinny, very human looking one. This one is fresh out of the oven.
- It pops a dagger out from its toe—El Capitan thinks he's about to get gutted—but then it draws a message in the dirt.
- El Capitan reads it: "Hastings."
- Uh oh. We remember Hastings. He was Partridge's roommate from inside the Dome.
- Hastings also draws a cross, similar to the one at the end of The Message.
- El Capitan follows Hastings (we're just going to assume it's Hastings) through the woods. They arrive at their destination, which has a view of the Dome.
- Outside the Dome, El Capitan sees people arranging timber on the ground. It looks like they're building a fire.
