It's Valentine's Day, and I decided to commemorate it with a sequel to something that really did not need a sequel.

The nihilistic outlook is to blame on Eric Juvi, Jordan E. Benjamin and Mike Klubnika, who are one heck of a messed-up mix when experienced in quick succession.

The prequel was originally intended to take place in Latin America, but my mandatory Vault tie-in™ necessitated this to be moved to Korea; I think they still work together just fine. (And yes, this time the protagonist's gender is supposed to be unclear.)

Did we plant the book or has someone just published classified information about our weapon caches? Did we recover the book or is it with the Foundation because the police got to it or did its last user put it in the trash for someone else to find? I know the story does not care, but I do.

Nice story, I just missed where it ties into the vaults.

If they don't work there how did they get the airport photos?

The happening at the airport came just when I needed it.

What happened?

I shall not comment about the glaringly obvious.

"The Happening at the Airport" is both a reference to South Korea's dedication to privacy and namedrops The Happening At The Airport, a tale from SCP-KO you should really give a read, even if it has no relation to the plot here.

As for the Vaults, you may take it as granted that the later part of this story takes place in Incheon.

Thanks for the SPaG. This thing was an absolute cold post and developed in about as much time as its prequel, so I'm going to go through it right now.
