Epilogue

The Red Square in Moscow. A huge crowd has gathered here while two rows of tanks serve as a barrier as well as a display of force. The fact that numerous people in the crowd could probably dismantle one with their bare hands doesn't matter as much as the message it projects. The Russian Forces will not be opposed. And that's what everyone is here today to witness. In the middle of the square, on a slightly raised stage Dr. Minamida and Haywire stand, hands bound to the short metal poles behind them, Haywire sneering at the woman he'd thought to be a computer program. A row of mutants in Russian uniforms stands in front of them, patiently waiting. On a much larger and ostentatious stage speeches are being held. About perseverance and the greatness of Mother Russia. About brave heroes who never abandon their mission and honoring the dead. Finally, they call one of them up to the stage and a figure that had been sitting in the back gets up and steps forward, mostly hidden from view for the sheer effect of this moment.

Not everyone knew Admiral Siberia but by now everyone has heard of her success and most knew just how much she's personally sacrificed to win this battle. Some, especially those on the stage with her who had considered it a suicide mission, do their best to hide their contempt but the rest of the crowd erupts in a loud cheer as the Admiral steps into view under her own power and raises a fist of solid ice.

The camera pulls back a bit as we continue to watch the scene unfold on a monitor until the details are blurry and all we hear is the cheering of the crowd as the row of mutants in front of Minamida and Haywire do what they've been ordered to. A childish scream of frustration drowns out the live broadcast as the screen cracks and bursts into flames.
