[Spoken: JONNY D'VILLE]
Meanwhile, on the Periphery, Snow’s revolution was going from strength to strength, and soon it spread. Hamlin, Ariel, every world, every moon touched by the bony hand of the king. 

Their tactics were cruel and vicious, as befitted their despotic foe, but there were heroes. The beautiful Colonel Belle, a tactical genius, guarded at all times by her savage husband. The lady known only as the Red Hood, who would use her Wolf virus to hack into Crown vehicles and ride them into battle. 

And they fought against monsters. Gepetto, the “Demon of Aesop”, known for his experiments into biomechanical augmentation, especially on children. Or the silver-tongued propaganda minister, Scheherezade. 

But in all the annals of the Resistance, no name shines brighter than that of Corporal John Spratt, known to his friends as “Mad Jack” or “Jack the Giant Killer”, after he single-handedly destroyed a Rose Red behemoth. He was eventually captured and killed, of course, but if you tuned your radio just right of an evening, you might have heard the unofficial anthem of the resistance.
