Chapter 29: Mariel Barbeau

The smell of burnt and burning meat filled the halls, as did smoke from what had to be dozens of small fires all around the ship. The new Deviant weapon was said to only light living beings on fire (what a horror show), but they were told small flames would pop up everywhere based on the burning fat of the human candle.

On this episode of Mindframe, we revisit Mariel Barbeau. When we last left this most confused Framer, she had just completed a ritual with The Alpha to put the ghost of Guillermo behind her and learn about her true self. No more Josephine Wu. When we visit her flashback in this chapter, we see the aftermath of the battle of Trujillo-Williams as Barbeau looks to get revenge on the “Grinder of Ganymede” and creeps through the dead decks of The Eleanor Gray.
