Commentary for “Foresight”
Up late tonight, so I might as well add my thoughts to yours as you guys take a perusal through the GN. Remember, if our site’s template hasn’t updated the GN yet, you can just take last week’s PDF and easter egg link and increase the chapter number by one to get this week’s stuff.
We have Alitha Martinez to thank for this and last week’s GN and they’re absolutely stunning in terms of artwork. I just have to take a moment aside to say that I’m a big fan. It’s like a breath of fresh air after all the hyper skinny chicks. In my mind, all the women portrayed in this week’s GN is much more attractive.
The ending gives us a horrible TBC cliffhanger and we don’t really know when this story will pick up again. Volume three starts soon, so maybe this story line will be wrapped up on the TV series? We’ll just have to wait and see as we usually do.
Hit the jump for the page by page analysis…
Evs and The Company have a problem
Email from Evs just came in with a puzzle. They’ve got the German knocked out, but they need to bring him back to the US, which means an airplane. Problem is, the German is emanating an unconscience electromagnetic field and it’s messing up all the planes electronics, and they fear it will down a nearby plane, possibly with passengers.
I’ve got plans for our metal-bending German friend, but we’ve hit a major snag. Dekker even called Thompson back at the Company to report it (http://boards.9thwonders.com/index.php?showtopic=63845&st=75).
The extraction team has drugged him so he doesn’t throw any bullets or planes around, but he’s still fighting it: he’s started emanating an unconscious electromagnetic field that’s interfering with electronics for a quarter-mile around.
The team has partially shielded their plane so it can fly, but when they take off, every other plane in the vicinity might drop like a rock. Cargo planes we can risk, but a commercial passenger jet crash would bring too much attention. We need to get that team off the ground before the Company decides to the plug on the walking magnet; not only would that be a waste of the trouble it took to get him, but I have some very important plans for pet German.
So here’s the deal. According to the flight schedule, there are five planes taking off around the same time as the German. If we can prove that no passenger planes are within at least two runways of us, they’ve got a green light to launch.
Unfortunately, I don’t know what runways those planes using.
I’ve got air traffic control communications, cargo records, and maintenance logs, and here’s what they do tell me. The five planes are each carrying one of the following cargoes: heavy machinery, seafood, electronics, mail, and passengers. The five planes seem to be an Airbus A320, an MD-80, a 737, a DC-9, and an A300. The flight numbers are 227, 639, 91, 128, and 555. The team reports that there are five runways, numbered 1 to 5 from north to south.

The German
I was poking around the Assignment Tracker and noticed that file C014 has a file attached to it. I went to our trusty Assignment Tracker Accounts page and clicked the link to C014 and look what we have… a new character.
The German, a man who has the power to manipulate ferrous objects and materials, ie, magnetism. There is no personal history or psych profile listed. Just his stats and what his power is.
So.. who is this?
