==Trivia==
*The woman in the suit had the effect that she did due to a combination of Bonesaw's problem solver mentality, her first friendship outside of and long term separation from: the nine. All causing the little tinker to re-evaluate things.<ref name="R83">It's not what was said, but the context of it. Bonesaw is lonely enough she befriends the corner store cashier, disconnected from the Nine for the first time in ages. That she was staying awake through the timeskip was a first step in rebelling (Keep in mind she's on the verge of becoming a teenager).<br/>With nobody to talk to and no Jack to steer her back on course, simple words reverberate within an echo chamber, hard to ignore because of the puzzle that is this strange woman, a problem that a problem solver like Bonesaw is inclined to try to solve. - [https://redd.it/36164s Comment by Wildbow on Reddit]</ref>
*Wildbow put ''"All the goddamn psychopaths"'' on top of the usual characters tags for this chapter.
*Throughout this chapter the current members of the S9 are essentially living cryonauts. Waiting for the [[End of the World]].
