## Blurb

“Nicole is very... special.” - Sarah Cunnington

While Sarah takes a break to explore Nicole’s quantum potential, Draper has his own agenda, concerning Enora – who must face the consequences of her actions. Meanwhile, in the far future, agents of the Resistance launch a risky plan to finally bring down the oppressive Novus.

## Synopsis

### 2020

Sarah takes Nicole on a Jump to the Grand Canyon to demonstrate her fledgling Natural powers, and later takes Louise on a Jump to the future to convince her to allow Sarah to train Nicole.

Enora is blackmailed by Heike Skulstad to slip Stéfanie Roux, who is in QIA custody, a suicide pill. Later, she confesses this to Erik, who confirms that not only did he already know that, but he also knew that Hall cured her of her condition preventing her from Jumping, and has been blackmailing her ever since. Erik then recruits Enora to help him bring down Hall's continuing corruption within the QIA, starting at the very top of the Echelon.

### New Philadelphia, 2264

Nic Black and Jonah West rescue Gemma Rubrum from her Novus captors, and together the three of them plan a new mission, to steal a data unit which could provide them intelligence to take down The Divine himself. However, during the mission, Gemma - who has been turned by Novus - betrays Nic, and she is in turn captured. Nic is later introduced to The Divine, and learns that not only is he a woman, but that she is in fact Sarah Cunnington and that Nic is in fact Nicole Harris.
