"Thanks, chummers," Jonathon said. He drove slowly out onto what used to be a massive expanse of concrete on what was once LAX. Most of the buildings and runways had buckled during the ’28 quake, and what was left standing had been flooded in the tsunami of 2045. Now, wide areas of cracked runway had collapsed into polluted sinkholes filled with ocean water. Many places were below the waterline. The water itself was black, but Jonathon caught glimpses of garbage and machinery in the water.
