Between 2004 and 2005 Nicolás "Zabo" Zamorano begins writing a blog about his daily life titled ''Yo, Adolescente'' (literally ''I, a Teenager'') following the suicide of a close friend and a fire at a nearby concert that results in multiple deaths. Shortly after, Nicolás begins to question his sexuality, and becomes intimate with several people.
Zombies have taken over a small town in Germany, being held by Vellich (Andrew Divoff) who’s using an ancient magical relic scarab (artifact) which can control the dead. The scarab, known as the “Tear of Osiris”, is a mythical amulet worshiped by ancient Egyptians. It was believed to possess necromantic powers, also known as necromancy. Vellich who is vampire, is seeking to use it to control all of the dead. With Vellich about to get his wish, vampire hunters Ian McCallister (Jason Carter) and his friend Mark (Brian Van Camp), break in and steal the scarab from Vellich to stop him from controlling the Zombies.
A week later, McCallister and Mark have made their way to the United States, to a remote area in Ohio, however Vellich had followed them. While going to destroy the scarab at an ancient holy site, Vellich attacks Mark, drawing blood which starts to turn him into a zombie. With Vellich trying to control Mark through mind compulsion, he breaks his vampire spell and runs away while McCallister stabs Vellich with a cross. Vellich attacks McCallister and knocks him unconscious and discovers McCallister doesn’t have the scarab. Vellich soon finds Mark and kills him, however not before Mark hid the scarab from Vellich.
Soon after, a group had made their way to the ancient site. Gretchen (Sean Serino) decides she wants to hold a séance to contact her dead brother Sean (Kenyatta Foster) with the help of a Wiccan friend Jill (C.B. Spencer). Jill's boyfriend Frank (Christopher Robichaud) and Gretchen’s boyfriend Mike (Tom Nagel) unhappily go along with the plan. Frank then finds the scarab at the site and gives it to Gretchen.
Later that evening, Gretchen unwittingly activates the scarab during the séance and seemingly begins to wake the dead until Mike breaks the séance ring. The next day Mike encourages Gretchen to let her brother go, however she becomes obsessed with the scarabs power.
Vellich pays a visit to Sebed (Tom Savini), who is the leader of a group of vampires who are addicted to a drug-like synthetic blood which can transform vampires into junkies. Vellich warns Sebed that what he is doing is wrong. Gretchen begins to research the history of the scarab at the local library until she falls asleep and begins to nightmare about it. She wakes up and finds the scarab activated again and zombies following her. She gets away and returns home.
McCallister is now back at the ancient site looking for the scarab, while Sebed is using his drugs to hire his junkies to find out what Vellich is up to.
Back at Gretchen’s apartment, Mike and Gretchen are in bed together when Mark, who is now a full zombie, appears in their bedroom. Gretchen yells at him to leave. The scarab starts to glow and Mark starts to leave the apartment. That’s when Gretchen realized that she could control Mark through the scarab.
Unable to reach Jill, Gretchen and Mike take Mark to a local bar to find her. Frank doesn’t believe the story and tells Mark to come in to the bar and have a beer with him through the scarab while holding Gretchen’s hand. Soon after Mark walks in to the bar, sits down and starts drinking a beer. Frank doesn’t believe he’s real until Mike tells him to check for a pulse. After finding no pulse he realizes Mark is a zombie and tries to convince Gretchen to let him take Mark to the lab for testing. Gretchen refuses and takes Mark home.
Falling asleep at the apartment, Gretchen wakes up to find the scarab activated again. With food coming to life in her refrigerator and corpses coming to life in the morgue she tells it to stop, just as Vellich was sensing the scarab. Vellich was confronting Sebed’s vampire junky who was sent to find him. Vellich finds the drug on him, so he killed him. McCallister meanwhile is holding his own ritual to try and locate the scarab.
The next day, Frank stops by to run tests on Mark while Jill and Mike confront Gretchen about what she’s doing. Gretchen gets upset and leaves with Mark. Gretchen takes Mark out to get new clothes and spend the day with together like she used to do with Sean.
Mike eventually finds Gretchen sitting with Mark at Sean’s grave. Gretchen is begging Mark and the scarab to let her talk to Sean, however she gets no response. With Mark consoling Gretchen, Mark begins to chant “death is the answer” continuously. The scarab now activated again, both Vellich and McCallister sense the scarab while Gretchen is telling it to stop. Mark eventually stops and visits McCallister in a vision begging to be killed, which leads Mark to show McCallister where they are.
Returning to the apartment, Gretchen now agrees they need to send Mark back. Jill says it could be done with a disenchantment. While preparing to go to the séance, McCallister locates them in the apartment and sees his old friend Mark. McCallister warns them all that they are in danger.
Gretchen finds Sean in her bedroom, alive and well. Sean tells Gretchen that she called him back. Gretchen apologizes for causing his car accident which Sean says it was her fault. Confused Gretchen tries to step away, but Sean won’t let go. Jill walks in to the bedroom to find that it was actually Vellich and he was about to bite Gretchen and screams for help.
Vellich throws Jill and Mike across the room and continues to try and bite Gretchen. Mark enters the room and attacks Vellich, however Vellich attacks back. McCallister tries to stab Vellich through the heart and was about to hammer it through when Vellich used mind compulsion to control Mike. Mike then jumps on McCallister and Vellich gets away by turning into a cloud and fleeing.
Mark laying on the floor torn open by Vellich, McCallister tells Gretchen she needs to tell him to sleep, which she does. Mark is again dead. McCallister convinces Gretchen to give him the scarab, that it needs to be destroyed and she agreed.
Vellich also badly hurt, goes to see Sebed asking for a place to rest. Sebed seizes the opportunity to confront Vellich about the scarab, while withholding blood from Vellich. Sebed convinces Vellich to take his synthesized drug which Vellich appeared to do, however he again turned into a cloud and entered Sebed’s body. Vellich then killed Sebed from the inside. Sebed falling dead, the cloud exits him and re-forms into Vellich.
Back at Gretchen’s apartment Frank gets called in to work, while McCallister had returned to the ancient site to destroy the scarab. Gretchen falls asleep and has another nightmare in which Jill begins to chant “the answer is death” and the others kill Frank. Waking up, Gretchen tells the others they have to find Frank.
Now at the lab, Frank is helping the others get into their computers after they had been hacked. Frank discovers someone at the lab had been doing research into the scarab. McCallister meanwhile had started a ritual to destroy the scarab, which triggered a power failure at the lab. Gretchen becomes overwhelmed in pain. McCallister holds out the scarab out when it turns to dust. The others rip open Gretchen’s shirt to find the scarab embedded in her chest.
Angela is staring into Frank’s computer screen which had turned in to a purple cloud. She touches it and then runs out of the room. Ray goes after her to find her turning into a vampire. Returning to the lab room, Ray is confronted by Rebecca who is already a vampire. Gretchen collapses and Rebecca is confronted by Jill who’s holding a cross. Rebecca uses mind compulsion to control Frank, who hits Jill with a book. Meanwhile Angela attacks Ray and drains him of his blood.
Frank opens the blinds to cover Rebecca with daylight to kill her, however it doesn’t work. Frank learns that the lab really is producing the diet pill “Luxnul”, but the lab is being partially run by vampires. This is because the side effects of the pill are highly addictive to vampires and allows them to walk and survive in the daylight.
Preparing to bite Frank and turn him in to a vampire, Rebecca is confronted by Gretchen holding a cross. Gretchen, Jill and Frank escape. Rick returns with pizza, however is attacked and bitten by the girls. Calling McCallister, he tells them to meet at the ancient site while Rebecca and Angela walk out of the lab, freely in the sunlight. Angela is carrying Ray’s head and drinking blood out of it.
Meeting at the ancient site, McCallister is preparing a ritual to destroy the scarab that is now in Gretchen’s chest. However they are confronted by Rebecca and other vampires from the lab telling Gretchen that destroying the scarab will kill her. Gretchen and Mike try to run while Angela attacks McCallister, and Jill and Rebecca begin to fight. Mike is confronted by another vampire when Vellich appears and rips the head off of the vampire. Frank attacks Vellich, however Vellich breaks his neck and kills him too.
Vellich now goes after Gretchen to rip the scarab out of her chest when it zaps him. He soon realizes that the scarab has taken over Gretchen and she is in full control of it. She tells everyone to “stop” and realizes she has the power to not only control zombies, but she can also control vampires. She controls Vellich and tells him to pick up the cross and put it in his mouth, which he does until it kills him.
McCallister tells Gretchen she needs to move to the middle of the ancient grounds; however she refuses and is now controlling a dead Frank. She uses Frank to attack McCallister until Jill finds a gun and uses it to shoot Frank several times, including in the head which stops him. Gretchen however controls Jill’s own dead hair using it to strangle her.
With Gretchen having the full power of the scarab she uses it to raise the dead all around, including her dead brother Sean. Mike tries to get her to stop, however he is grabbed by Frank who brings him to Gretchen. The real Gretchen is still inside herself fighting to trying to stop the scarab from taking her over. It eventually works and she breaks the control of the scarab releasing the control over Frank and Jill’s hair.
McCallister grabs Frank and pulls him off of Mike, which allows Mike to put Gretchen in the circle. Jill then reads the spell to destroy the scarab, but it doesn’t work. The scarab takes over Gretchen again and rips Mike’s finger nails off of him. Jill puts her hand on the circle and reads the spell again which works this time creating a circle of light through the sky, however Gretchen had stepped out of the circle beforehand.
Still fighting, Gretchen again takes control of her body and apologizes to Mike. She controls enough of herself to allow her to step back into the circle of light. The light expands and disintegrates Vellich, Rebecca and Angela as all the awakening zombies collapse. Gretchen awakens to Mike crawling up to her in pain and Jill holding a dead Frank. McCallister stokes up a cigar to recognize his work is completed.
Director Edward Douglas can be seen in the closing seen checking his mail and seeing an ad for the weight loss pill (vampire drug) Luxnul.
Nineteen-year old Tetley Abednego describes herself as the “most hated girl in Garbagetown”. She suffers physical and verbal abuse from all inhabitants of Garbagetown.
Decades before the start of the story, all dry land disappeared due to climate change. Most remaining humans live atop the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Humans survive off the trash left by the previous civilization, whom they call the Fuckwits.
Tetley was born with a nuchal cord; her parents did not believe she would survive and neglected her in favor of her twin brother. She recounts leaving home at the age of ten to receive her name, which is a ritual common to all children of Garbagetown. After finding a tea bag stuck to her, she receives the name Tetley; her twin brother becomes Maruchan. She falls in love with a boy named Goodnight Moon, who lives in Electric City, the richest neighborhood in Garbagetown.
When Tetley is seventeen, Garbagetown is visited by Brighton Pier, which survives as a floating city. The Emperor of Brighton Pier claims to have seen dry land, but one of his subjects admits that this is a lie. Goodnight Moon tells Tetley that Electric City has been building an engine in preparation for the news that dry land still exists. It will turn Garbagetown into a massive boat, but this will use up all the fuel which would otherwise last decades. Tetley destroys the engine and thus becomes the most hated girl in Garbagetown.
Twenty-nine year old Tetley lives on a boat moored to the side of Garbagetown. She discusses life with Big Red, a girl who sneaks away from home to visit.
When Tetley was twenty-one, citizens of Garbagetown burned down her house. She is rescued and taken to marry the King of Garbagetown. On the journey, Tetley activates an artificial intelligence named Mister. Goodnight Moon meets her in the King's palace and asks her to run away with him. They get on a boat and sail to a tiny patch of dry land. Goodnight Moon tells Tetley that he is the king, and they marry. Mister manages to connect to a satellite, and they learn that other humans now live on Mars. Tetley speaks to a Martian child named Olivia. Olivia's father refuses to help the humans remaining on Earth and destroys their communication link.
Before they can return to Garbagetown, Goodnight Moon dies of a fever. Tetley orders Mister to delete all records of Mars. She debates whether or not tell anyone about the other humans, fearing that they will never enjoy life in Garbagetown if they are always looking for a way to escape. Years later, Olivia reconnects with Tetley via satellite. Tetley gives her the name Big Red.
Denver is experiencing a large drought caused by ManBearPig, resulting in drying streams and discussions about reinstituting watering restrictions. The protesting citizens, including waterpark owner Pi Pi, are told that the city's water sees use in agriculture.
In South Park, Stan Marsh and Tolkien Black are concerned about the former's father, Randy, who is derisively referred to as "Karen". Randy and Steve Black's arguing is interrupted by a Denver water commissioner examining the water supplies at their respective farms. Meanwhile, Eric Cartman is despondent over residing in the abandoned hot dog stand. He is intrigued when he notices construction on a house across the street for golf course owner Talnua Cussler. Cartman suggests to his mother, Liane, that she get breast implants to attract Cussler. Liane refuses and informs Cartman of the cost of such a surgery.
Steve learns that he can sell some of his water supply if the stream reaches Denver's reservoir. At Stan and Tolkien's suggestion, they craft a small boat and send it downstream. The experiment is successful, and Steve begins accepting subscriptions to his streaming service, including Pi Pi. When Steve is told to send boats downstream daily, he pays Stan and Tolkien to increase their production. Randy becomes frustrated at Steve's success, so Stan and Tolkien agree to build him craft boats as well. They recruit Kyle Broflovski, Kenny McCormick and Butters Stotch to help them as demand increases; they initially refuse to recruit Cartman, but relent when Cartman tells them of the surgery. Cussler offers Stan and Tolkien $15,000 for 10,000 boats, thus covering the surgery's cost. Cartman tries to surprise Liane with the surgery, but she stands by her earlier decision, no longer giving in to his demands. He threatens to have the surgery done to himself, but Liane remains unfazed, allowing the surgery to proceed.
When Steve sees a report about ManBearPig's environmental damage, he hikes up the mountains to see for himself. He approaches a dying real estate agent, who tells Steve that a large swath of land near the streams has been sold to a wealthy buyer. When Randy sails one of his boats downstream, it is sunk by Cussler Industries boats. Randy confronts Stan about Cussler's boats and demands that he end their deal. When they visit Cussler's house, they find that he was killed by ManBearPig, and Randy wonders if Stan is in danger. At Pi Pi's Splashtown, Steve tells Pi Pi that he will have to cancel the waterpark's streaming rights to provide water to his farm. Pi Pi refuses, revealing that he is collaborating with the water commissioner and ManBearPig. Steve realizes that Pi Pi purchased the land in the mountains when ManBearPig attacks, stabbing Steve and throwing him out a window down a water slide. Pi Pi later reveals to the water commissioner his plan to replace all of Denver's water with his park's urine-contaminated water. He betrays the commissioner and has ManBearPig attack him in a similar fashion to Steve.
At school, Stan warns the others of Cussler's death when Cartman arrives with his breast implants. Tolkien's mother, Linda, calls him to inform him of Steve's disappearance. The people of Denver waste their water supply as the reservoir is slowly draining, while Randy investigates Cussler and the commissioner's histories.

The programme opens with a slightly out of focus old video of a ski resort including special effects indicating an avalanche. A voice over gives the background to the set up:
"In 1979 on a school skiing trip, PE teacher Tony Mammoth is engulfed by an avalanche. Perfectly preserved he remains hidden under the snow until he’s found and miraculously brought back to life, forty-two years later."
The scene switches to the present day with Mammoth in his 1970s splendour emerging out of his Ford Capri II in the school car park, with a couple of slightly bemused pupils looking on. The narration continues:
"Nine months have now passed, a lifetime in the world of twenty-four-hour news. Mammoth’s celebrity has faded, and his life can finally start to return to normal."
He has returned to his job as a PE teacher at the same school. He seems a perfectly preserved man in his forties, though one born eighty six years ago.
Events get underway with him giving his 1970's friend Roger, now seventy, some tickets to a Hot Chocolate concert as a birthday present – “I don’t do cards!”. He's currently staying with Roger, sleeping on a mattress in Rogers Old Peoples apartment.
The school's headmaster, Kane, is the son of the schools 1970's headmaster, they both think little of Mammoth. Mammoth is equally dismissive of them, including Kane jnr's hobby of marathon running, which Mammoth says is just training for real sport.
Mammoth's heroes include Huggy Bear, Starsky and Hutch, Burt Reynolds and Evel Knievel – other cultural references to the seventies include Jonathan E from Rollerball, CB radio, pina colada, Dickie Davies, playing shirts against skins football ....
Other than Kane, most other people are won over by Mammoths easy charm - his colleague Lucy, his psychiatrist Claire, Liberty one of his troubled pupils, Miss Ronson the chair of governors and Kirsty from the pub. Judy Jones suggests he or Roger pop round to see her.
The Mike Bubbins site has indicated that there might be more from Tony Mammoth in 2023

The story is set in a world where humans and beings referred to as "Mahoroi" coexist on Earth. The Maharoi possess animal features and spiritual abilities and live longer compared to their human counterparts. Humans have coexisted with these beings for hundreds of years. The story is set in its entirety in the town of Tsugumomi, with events taking place in various locations in Konoha's house and outdoors in the woods. The story is set during autumn.
The story follows , the main character, as he moves into the town of Tsugumomi because his parents need to spend time overseas for business. They stay with a family friend, called Konoha, who lets him stay in her home. Seiji used to live there when he was young, but has lost all memory of that time. The story begins with Seiji and his sister, called , are on a train on the way to Tsugumomi. Suzuna is presented as having a close, lovey-dovey relationship with her brother Seiji. When they come to the Konoha's house, they meet , a maid employed part time at Konoha's house who is shown to be inept and have a stoic personality. She leads Seiji and Suzuna to the Konoha's room, where they meet , a half-Mahoroi that is over 200 years old with a childlike appearance. They also meet in the town of Tsugumomi, who has forgotten everything about herself other than her own name and that the main character is her "master". The story then branches off into four different routes, one for each character.
In Suzuna's route, she is shown to be lazy (leaving even dressing herself for her brother to do) and has a mischievous personality, constantly teasing and trying to seduce her brother. The protagonist remarks that her personality reminds him of the Cheshire Cat. She is shown to be hopelessly in love with him, but whenever he confronts her about it, she acts flustered and defensive. She is very envious of Momiji and her openness with Seiji. In Momiji's route, the "master and pet" dynamic runs throughout her story arc. Mojimi and Seiji grow closer throughout the story, and even when Seiji tries to distance himself from her (for her own sake), she begs to be with him again. The second half of her story focuses on her true identity, which is revealed in the common route as well. She is very expressive and feels strong emotions towards the protagonist, showing no inhibitions and a lack of understanding of social norms. She is also excitable and displays dog-like behaviour, for example: going for walks, playing fetch, being petted, and drinking milk. In Konoha's route, the early story focuses on the affection the protagonist shows towards Konoha, he takes on the role of her guardian. The latter part of the story focuses on the time they spend together, giving more insight into her personality and the father-daughter dynamic between them, as well as Konoha's internal struggle between whether to be a mother-figure, or be more childlike as he outward appearance would suggest.. She is shown doting on others throughout her route and is shown to have a penchant for alcohol in the evenings. In Kazuha's route, the story focuses on the protagonist's past. The history between the two races (humans and Mahoroi) is also elaborated on, and the origin of the Mahoroi is explained. The protagonist also teaches her to think more positively about life, as she is extremely worried about her Mahoroi powers being too weak. The characters also help her with her maid duties when she slips up.
The game also has three minor characters: , , and . Minori is Seiji’s classmate, she is described as mysterious and is always “on the edge of her seat”. Ieshia becomes friends with Seiji after he moves into Seiji’s school. He is described as “a handsome and sportsmanlike guy”, but inside he is not. Kurishima, although young-looking, is very mature. She is ver serious and makes a good balance for the more laid-back Konoha.

Set in two different timelines, the plot uses an extensive analepsis to the 19th century. The film ends abruptly with a cliffhanger, only focusing on the flashback subplot pertaining the tragedy of the Valdemar couple (Lázaro and Leonor) circa 1880, thus leaving the plot not set in the past forgotten as a sort of disconnected preface.

After receiving votes from the Uni-Mind after being revived, Thanos successfully takes over the title as Prime Eternal as he kills his uncle Zuras for revenge and murders Druig to prevent his memory of his weakness.
Thanos requires the newly resurrected Druig's help by replacing his old body which The Machine won't allow him to resurrect. During his research with his parent and his Deviant heritage, Thanos visits his grand-uncle Uranos the Undying, who is imprisoned from the Exclusion and questions him about The Machine. Instead, Uranos tells Thanos and Druig his story about the Eternals' three moral principles: Protect Celestials, Protect Machine, and Correct Excess Deviation. Millenia ago, Uranos argued with Kronos and Oceanus about the principles and decided that eradicating all Deviants and humans, and imprisoning Celestials would provide benefit for all Eternals, which his brothers opposed. His actions in committing genocide of Deviants caused a catastrophic civil war resulting in his 600,000 years imprisonment by his defeat along with Druig's betrayal. After Druig departs, Uranos secretly gives Thanos the imprint key, an armory that allows him to access Uranos' fail-safe into destroying the Machine.''Eternals: The Heretic'' #1. Marvel Comics.
The Eternals led by Ikaris are shocked to learn that the Machine not only resurrects the Eternal but also consumes human life and felt distrustful of the Eternals' society. They also discovered that the Deviants of Lemuria were mutated uncontrollably from their unstable genes and the Eternals were forced to activate their Excess Deviation to kill them. After acknowledging Thanos' half-Deviant heritage, The Eternals decide to investigate why the Celestials created them. With Phastos captured by Thanos, the Eternals visit Ajak and Makkari in Celestia and plans to break into the Avengers headquarters and question the Celestial ghost known as the Progenitor.
With Ikaris, Thena, Sprite, Sersi, and Kingo keep the Avengers occupied after the security breach, Makkari activates the Celestial's mind allowing Ajak to confront the Progenitor and questions the Deviants' creation. Ajak is despondent when she finds out that the Celestials created the Deviants as the result of the Progenitors' death releasing noxious Necrofluids that pollute Earth's environment. To prevent all Earth's lifeforms from extinction and Deviants' self-destruct mutation, the Celestials created the Eternals as their backup to prevent their extinction which allows the Deviants to adapt to the Necrofluid's toxicity resulting in stable lifeforms. Eternal scientist Domo confirms his results that his genes are elusively inconclusive despite his parent's heritage and Thanos realizes that his Eternal and Deviant genes are folly to him, in which the Machine does not recognize him as an Eternal. Thanos plans to activate the fail-safe causing the attention to all Eternals and convincing the Avengers to stop Thanos before it's too late. As Thanos overpowers the Eternals, Druig inadvertently activates Phastos' fail-safe on Thanos' armor for his betrayal, which causes Thanos to die from his mutation. This enables Druig to deactivate the armory and banish Thanos elsewhere. With Thanos gone, the team decides to leave their Eternal society and support the Deviants in Lemuria to help stabilize their civilization. Druig, now the new Prime Eternal and hoping to unite the Eternals, asks The Machine for locations of excessive deviation. It highlights Lemuria and the island of Krakoa, the mutant nation.''Eternals'' Vol. 5 #12. Marvel Comics.

In the present day, the Avengers fight off against the giant mutated Deviant allowing Ikaris and Sersi to activate their Excess deviation while Druig sets up the plan to infiltrate the mutant resurrection. Meanwhile, Mary Jane Watson gave the public astonishing news about her aunt's recovery from dementia thanks to the Krakoan medicine until she was kidnapped by Moira MacTaggert (who currently has an Omega Sentinel appearance), who was using her to infiltrate the Hellfire Gala for Orchis.
Jack of Knives, one of the four Eternal crime lords, sneaks into Krakoa and discovers the mutant resurrection protocols after witnessing the rebirth of Cyclops. They report it back to Druig, who considers the mutants of Krakoa to be undergoing excessive deviation because of their immortality.
Meanwhile on Krakoa, Destiny foresees the upcoming war between the Avengers, X-Men, and Eternals clashing with each other and informs the Quiet Council to defend their immortality. After discovering the identity of Doctor Statis, Scott Summers confesses to the Daily Bugle news reporter Ben Urich about the mutant resurrection believing it might prevent Orchis' plan on inciting tensions and public backlashes while Emma Frost reveals the truth to Scott about Moira's motives and betrayal. After successfully infiltrating the Hellfire Gala following public news of the mutant resurrection, Moira meets up with Druig and Jack of Knives and informs them to kill five mutants who are responsible for resurrecting mutants. Emma Frost informs the council about Doctor Statis who is revealed to be Mister Sinister's clone claiming to be the real Sinister. This forces Nathaniel Essex to flee much to his confusion while foreshadowing the event that might happen.
The Earth (dubbed as The Machine by Eternals) narrates that it is doing fine as humans haven't been disintegrated yet and that the Avengers and the X-Men have some time off due to a lack of villain attacks as it starts to narrate the following information. On Olympia, Druig speaks with Domo on how to eradicate all mutants. Domo has created an anti-matter bomb of prodigious size which they can drop into a node on Krakoa before activating. On Lemuria, Ikaris is doing some work there and gets attacked by a female deviant mutate named Crimson Karlau. Refusing to kill her, he and Sersi managed to contain her.

Druig brings in Ajak and Makkari to help with the mind-wiping as Phastos tells them not to comply with Druig. In Celestia, Phastos is shown by Ajak and Makkari that they are making a god. He also mentions how he tried to stop Project Machine which would end the deaths of mankind. After Phastos leaves, Ajak tells Makkari that they are lucky that they didn't introduce their guest who happens to be an imprisoned Mister Sinister. As Phastos arrives in Lemuria, Thena speaks to Kro about Phastos' actions and the previous actions of Thanos when Makkari arrives stating that the Eternals have secured plans for the Deviants. Druig checks in with Domo on the finishing touches of the anti-matter bomb. Before Druig can take Domo to a diner in Vancouver, Druig was attacked by something unseen as a voice says "Protect The Machine". The anti-matter bomb activates and starts to go to an undersea location only for Domo to deactivate it. When Druig wonders what happened, Domo states that Krakoa is a sentient being and that it is a part of The Machine. Domo tells Druig that he will think of another method only for Druig to turn down his suggestion. Wanting another way to commit genocide and knowing of an expert on that, Druig goes to the Exclusion to give Uranos a proposition. Uranos quotes "Oh Druig, little Druig. Not even a thousand years on the throne and already so desperate".
An unknown figure narrates how it is of such power to speak to the reader. In New York, Sersi is talking with Tony Stark about a fight that is going to be happening in a day or two where she complains that the X-Men are doing the revivals that the Eternals mostly do. Suddenly, Sersi gets ambushed by Echo's Phoenix form as Captain Marvel and Thor bring her in. The attack was seen from the treehouse by Cyclops and Jean Grey. As people protest about the X-Men being life-hoarders, Cyclops states to Jean Grey that they can't bring back non-mutants. On Krakoa, Nightcrawler and Mystique speak with Destiny to confirm her prediction of an upcoming war. Due to Destiny seeing the Eternals in her vision, she advises them to gather the Quiet Council. Arriving on Arrako, Nightcrawler meets up with Cable, Magneto, and Storm to inform them about Destiny's latest vision and warn the Arakkis about the threat. At Avengers Mountain, Sersi regains consciousness as Iron Man interrogates her in Avengers Mountain's psychic dead room. Iron Man mentions that a few months ago some Eternals snuck into Avengers Mountain to do some cosmic stuff and he finds out that Thanos led the Eternals recently. While Sersi regretted that Thanos led them, Iron Man figured out that the Eternals had another doomsday device. Captain America then comes in to take part in the interrogation reminding Iron Man that Sersi was once an Avenger at some point and the team should show her some trust. He wants to know why the Eternals are going to war with the mutants. She asks what they know about what Druig is going to do. Iron Man mentioned a huge spike in the Pacific Ocean as Sersi states that she had no involvement in what happened there and is not the Eternal that they should be worrying about. One hour earlier on Olympia, Druig discusses with the Eternal council and figures out that the X-Gene came from the Deviants and not the humans as he tries to get the Uni-Mind to bring fire and death to those that need to be corrected, which the Eternals society all agreed. At the Exclusion, Druig speaks to his grandfather Uranos about what he had told the Uni-Mind about his speech and is planning to have him released as a test. Uranos states that Druig "will see what Uranos the Undying can do with an hour". At the Damocles Foundation's corporate HQ in Los Angeles, Moira hears from Druig about Thanos meeting Uranos and his plan on assassinating the Five. At Krakoa, the Quiet Council is informed about Destiny's vision and the Eternals' upcoming war. During this meeting, Professor X, Hope Summers, and other mutant telepaths are psychically attacked by the Uni-Mind which allows the Eternal fleets to assault the Krakoans which was part of their distraction. This enables Jack of Knives to lead an attack on Krakoa as Wolverine gives the order to sound the alarm. The X-Men joins the others in the assault. At the Great Ring, Nightcrawler gets a warning out to the Arraki. Wolverine finds that Egg has been taken down by Jack of Knives as Wolverine orders Jean Grey to have the Five secured as the Eternal fleets suddenly retreat. When Moira states to Jack of Knives blew his chance, Druig states that the "Eternals are eternal" and he also informs Moira that Arakko has already been taken care of, despite his failed attempt. As the X-Men work to revive their fallen comrades, Nightcrawler explains to them what happened on Arrako as Uranos was shown to have decimated Arakko's homeworld and massacred a few of Arakki's mutant lives, which includes destabilizing all Krakoan gates. He returns to the Exclusion to inform Druig that he completed his hour while hearing about the Eternals' mission. At Avengers Mountain, Captain America, Iron Man, and Sersi hear about what happened on Krakoa. Druig broadcasts himself to the people of Earth on their high-tech devices stating that the Eternals will help them deal with the "mutant threat" while advising them not to be afraid of the towering death machines that have emerged off the western seaboard of the United States which he describes as the Hex which are giant-sized Eternals consisting of Phebe Reginax, Rheaka Centaurus, Syne the Memotaur, Thieaka the Harpsicus, Tetytrona, and Themex. In retaliation, Captain America assembles the Avengers. As Captain Marvel states that Sersi is locked up, Captain America states that she has no involvement with Druig as Iron Man is informed of an intruder alert. Iron Man flies to the location to find Ajak, Makkari, and a bound Mister Sinister where Ajak wants Iron Man's help to build a god to end the upcoming war. When Iron Man asks how they are going to make a god in a few hours, Ajak states that they have everything they need around them as it shows the outside of Avengers Mountain. The unseen figure narrates that they will find out who this hero is one way or another.
As Druig's declaration of war is echoed across the world, we see different people at the time of this. In London, a man named Tom is getting ready to go to sleep. In Vancouver, a woman named Katrina fires out a supportive tweet at a coffeehouse, hoping that the retweets would be a shield above Krakoa. In Mumbai, an old man named Arjun lies in his bed and shrugs off the Hex. In São Paulo, a woman named Daniela is riding her bicycle knowing the pros and cons of being a mutant. In New York, a woman named Jada notes that people wanting genocide on the mutants are not her people. In Yokohama, Kenta sees his parents worrying about a tidal wave hitting them. The narrator states that these people are important. On Krakoa, Syne the Memotaur fights Exodus and Jean Grey where Exodus gets Syne the Memotaur off of Krakoa. Cyclops is fighting Rheaka Centaurus as he notes to Jean Grey that he generates his attack fauna. In the nick of time, the Avengers show up to help fight the Hex. Back at Avengers Mountain, Iron Man, Ajak, and Makkari work to regenerate their base where the Iron States that Mister Fantastic is going to be as green as Hulk when it happens. A captive Mister Sinister claims that Ajak and Makkari kidnapped him because they feel he is responsible. Back on Krakoa, Captain America and Cyclops go over the objectives that involve getting the non-combative mutants to the safety of the Vaults and making sure the Five aren't harmed. Cyclops tells Captain America to handle the Hex while the X-Men handle keeping the Five safe. Captain Marvel leads Echo, Star Brand, Thor, Storm, and others into battling Thieaka the Harpsicus and Syne the Memotaur as Captain Marvel notes that something that big can't be intangible all the time. The resulting battle formed a tsunami that is en route to the Philippines, New Guinea, and the eastern coasts of the United States. As Mystique shoots at Themix, Nightcrawler rants that this is unfair as Destiny notes that they stand alone. The narrator notes how Iron Man and Ajak have found the thumbprint of Arishem the Judge, Mister Sinister and his clones found a fragment of the Dreaming Celestial, Makkari obtained the fragments of the Destroyer, Sersi gathering the Eternals who oppose Druig's decision, and Tony Stark will pilot Avengers Mountain like he did when a king wreathed in black attacked Earth. Phebe Reginax appears on Krakoa to aid Syne the Memotaur by healing her. Exodus sacrifices his life to take down Syne the Memotaur. The Five are heavily guarded as they bring back Exodus and the other fallen mutants. In another location, Syne the Memotaur is revived. Meanwhile, Tom is watching the news of the conflict on Krakoa, Katrina is still tweeting, Arjun dies on the street as a side effect of the Machine resurrecting Syne the Memotaur, Daniela comforts a customer at her third job as a tremor hits, Jada still doesn't want any Eternal-based protests against mutants, and Kenta gets a blurred shot at a tidal wave being punched by Captain Marvel. Phastos puts in the last of the demiurgic conductors. Mister Sinister breaks up an argument between Iron Man and Ajak so that they can prevent the mutants from being slaughtered. While slaying Rheaka Centarus' attack fauna, Jean Grey gets a status report from Cyclops that the vaults are secured and the X-Men have breached the Eternal armories to cut the Hex's power supply. Nightcrawler notes that Syne the Memotaur has returned to bring Krakoa down. This causes everybody to work to take down Syne the Memotaur as there is not enough time to evacuate everyone. As Avengers Mountain comes to life as the Progenitor, who is revealed to be the narrator as it commands the Hex to leave. The Hex complies with their principles and takes their leave from Krakoa. Despite the heroes' success in banishing the Hex, the Progenitor regained consciousness and declared their Judgement Day after showing its disappointment with the people of Earth for their unrelenting cruelty and unreasonable bickering. The Progenitor addresses the people of Earth stating that they will be judged within the next 24 hours to justify themselves individually and collectively. If there is more than wicked, they will live. Otherwise, there will be no tomorrow. The Progenitor concludes that the people of Earth are all important.
There is a flashback to Exodus' early life. In the present, the Quiet Council of Krakoa discuss as Destiny states that Professor X is about to share some new information he learned from Forge. he learned from Forge that Celestial energy was detected and that Mister Sinister was abducted by some Eternals as Exodus assumes that he was "rescued". As Emma Frost plans to brief the captains to go on the defensive, Sebastian Shaw suggests that they go on the offensive. Exodus brings up a much earlier encounter with the Eternals due to his immortality. He recounts his encounter with Apocalypse in Ancient Egypt, his life during Medieval England where he encountered the Black Knight of that time, and his long sleep until Magneto found him. This reminiscing is interrupted when the Uni-Mind attacks. During the attack, Wolverine informs the Quiet Council on what happened to Egg and that the Eternals are going after the rest of the Five. Exodus recalls his fight with what appears to be a five-headed dragon.

On Arrako, Abigail Brand informs everyone present about Destiny's precognition of the Eternals' attack. Ora Serrata states that Idyll can't see the true future. Just then, Uranos arrives stating that he has one hour to correct them. Isca switches sides and kills Idyll. The Armories of Uranos were also activated the moment he left the Exclusion. Those on Arrako go on the defensive where Uranos defeat Ora and fight Legion. Abigail Brand states that she lost contact with Station Two and assumes it was destroyed while noting that there are confirmed attacks all over Mars as Lactuca states that the enemy has machines of death and Sabunar of the Depth notes that this will be a challenge for them. As Cable and Magneto start to go on the offensive, Uranos returns stating that he took down Legion as Lodus Lugos produces metal for Magneto to make use of.

Lactuca seals a breach while the Morrowlands start to infect anything organic that comes in contact with it. Xilo unleashes the insects and invertebrates that make up his body in order to attack Uranos. While the evacuations at Port Prometheus have been partially successful, all the Krakoan gates have been destroyed as seven Kymellian priests are killed before Nova can save them. In the markets below, the vendors and their Arrakkii regulars fight to save what they can. Uranos reduces the collective that is Xilo to 13.5% and uses the Omega-One Plus Rifle to shoot Abigail Brand. On the dark side of the planet, the Fisher King feels the wind change. The Arrakki at Aryre Planetia goes on a strategic retreat. After Uranos leaves when the hour is complete, Lodus regains consciousness, Xilo works to put himself back together, and Ora is in the middle of healing. Swearing revenge against the Eternals, Magneto arises with energy in his wound and states to Lodus that they were part of a losing war and that "the seat of loss takes command".
Following a recap by the narrator of the actions committed by Druig, Uranos, and the Hex, Ajak, Ikarus, Makkari, Phastos, Sersi, Sprite, and Thena talk about Druig's actions on Lemuria and the reconstruction of the Progenitor. As Ajak persuades Phastos to come with her, the other Eternals go to march into the war while persuading Kro to gain them access to a pit where the gods lashed out the day the Second Host showed up. Once at the bottom, they are confronted by the "shadows of the Firmament". The Eternals fight them and found what the Eternals had been through with the Second Host which they now know when they spoke to Kro about it. As Kro notes that the Eternals will fight Druig while the Deviants will pay the price, he states that the Deviants would be dragged into the war through their own actions. In the Subspace Tunnels, Ikaris visits Gilgamesh. In Olympia's war room, Druig watches the Hex in action while getting a status report. He visits a resurrected Zuras to get a status report on the psychic siege. Zuras states that it is hard as they are going up against the strongest mutant psychics.

As the X-Men fight Thieaka the Harpsicus, Forge is on the beach as he fires a laser that causes Thieka the Harpsicus to be coated in tiny machines that will render it crystalline enough to put it into a state of hibernation. Once that was done, Forge states that he doesn't have any more nanites as more of the Hex are approaching Krakoa. Jean Grey does a telepathic message to Ikaris who states that the Hex are powerful Eternals deployed from the armories of the Eternals that is beneath the Earth's crust.

The plot takes place in Seville. Following the sudden death of her husband, Carmina decides not to report the death so she could clinch an extra pay.
The game is set in the postapocalyptic setting of an underground city, the last resting place of humanity. Mysterious Violet Death has turned the surface of the Earth into an uninhabited and inaccessible wasteland, and the last remaining humans are forced to survive in the harsh conditions of the confined space under the watchful eye of six ministries.
Life in the city is kept alive by automated factories, the Machines of Grace and Love. Among the population, there is a religious cult that worships the machines, as they are the only thing that keeps humanity from total extinction.
It is in the workings of these machines that the game's protagonist, Josiah Kaviani, discovers inconsistencies. Receiving a job offer from one of the ministries, Josiah tries to uncover the source from which the city receives the missing resources needed to feed the growing population.
Development of the story depend on the decisions made by the player. Josiah can abandon the investigation and live a quiet life, reaching high places in the Ministry hierarchy; he can join a group of revolutionaries, the Non-Resistance, and get to the bottom of what is going on in the city; or Josiah can make a mistake and fall into the horrible world of shapeless flesh beneath the city, called Hell.
After discovering several endings, the player can piece together a complete picture: in fact, the city is a former scientific center; of which one of the objects of study were robotic nano-surgeons with unprecedented capabilities to cure the human body. The out-of-control experiment led to the spread of an unwanted, unstoppable and acutely contagious immortality: athanasy, due to which the entire scientific complex had to be isolated from the outside world.
There are a total of nine endings available in the game: * '''The Conformist.''' - Kaviani refuses to take part in unfolding events, chooses his career, reaches the position of department head and ends his life in a pool of amrita in the Upper Labs. * '''Minister Kaviani''' - After a series of betrayals and controversial decisions, Kaviani is brought to the Cabinet, and then promoted to Minister of Demography. * '''Alone in the Bright Sun''' - If Caviani comes to the Upper Labs as a Cabinet employee, he can persuade the Engineers to let him alone out from under the dome, having first survived the nanosurgeon purge procedure. * '''Adam and Eve''' - If Kaviani comes to the Upper Labs as a member of the Non-Resistance, he can negotiate with the Engineers to have only him and Polianna released from under the dome (having previously cleared them of the nanosurgeons). * '''Liberation''' - After learning the truth from the diaries, Caviani hastily spreads the diaries amongst the citizens and turns on the elevators between the City and Hell. Flesh bursts out of the caves and takes over the City. * '''Polymer Lake''' - Caviani is captured and written off into a polymer pit for his ''wrong'' actions, where he dissolves to serve as materials for the City. * '''Gulo''' - Caviani trusts Gulo too much and becomes another head in his collection. * '''Demon''' - After becoming acquainted with Bitterness, Caviani becomes imbued with her ideas and leads Hell's rebellion. He takes over the City and turns it into a garden of flesh. * '''Red Grass''' - After learning the whole truth with the help of Peter "Daevlid" and his diaries, Kaviani gets out from under the dome, infecting the planet's biosphere with nanosurgeons.

Lois' wealthy aunt Marguerite Pewderschmidt comes to visit, but drops dead on their doorstep. A videotaped message from Aunt Marguerite informs Lois that she has inherited Cherrywood Manor in Newport, Rhode Island. There, the Griffins receive a musical welcome from the house's staff, but they immediately start to leave afterward. Peter hires them back after admitting that he secretly sold their former house in Quahog. At a party, Peter has trouble fitting in with the others, while Stewie adapts immediately to ordering servants around, even commanding two to fight to the death for his amusement. Peter begs Brian to teach him how to be a gentleman. After several attempts through regular methods, Brian resorts to shock therapy. When Peter arrives at a ritzy auction that night, Lois is shocked to see him behaving himself and conversing easily with the richer crowd. He becomes wealthy after bidding $100,000,000 for a vase.
Lois demands that the family return to Quahog as soon as possible; she says that she left Newport because it changed people in much the same way that her family is changing. Brian is only able to snap Peter out of his delusion by comparing him to Lando Calrissian and smashing his ''Star Wars'' collector's glass. Although Peter can snap out of his phase, he is still $100,000,000 short on covering his auction bid when a representative from a historical society comes to collect the money. After several attempts to "prove" that Cherrywood Manor has enough historical value to cover the bid, Peter finds a set of hidden photographs. The pictures show Abraham Lincoln, Robert E. Lee, and Ulysses S. Grant at Cherrywood Manor, which was a brothel at the time. Not only does the discovery make Cherrywood enormously valuable, but Peter sells one of the pictures to the tabloids to repurchase their old house.
In the end, Peter no longer cares what Lois's family thinks of him, since her ancestors were nothing more than a bunch of pimps and whores.
The story is set in the aftermath of a nuclear apocalypse, triggered by the threat of expanding armies of cloned soldiers. From the ashes arose military factions and corporations, who now race to rebuild the human clone soldier technology.
The factions include Gaia Inc., The Cloners, and Blackshot mercenaries. Gaia are an energy conglomerate that have a large influence over the new world governments. They seek to recover old world technology, and research new forms of energy production. Its nuclear reactor facilities and research laboratories are often the sites for skirmishes. The Cloners are a corporation that owns all of the surviving cloning factories, but dependent on Gaia for energy. The Cloners aggressively pursue cloning technology, and often employ mercenaries to defend what remaining cloning installations it possesses. Blackshot is one of the game world's leading mercenary groups, and agents are expected to fulfil the terms of their contract to the letter.
Ryo is a young girl and her mother has died. He returns to his family's home on the island. There he begins to think about his mother's strange behavior in the past. Strange things begin to happen when he meets his cousin, Hotaruko. The past of the island and the girl are mysterious and dark.
The novel begins in 1912, following Edwin St. John St. Andrew, a remittance man. The character is loosely based on one of Mandel's great-grandfathers. Edwin is sent to Canada for making statements about colonialism to his British parents which they considered improper. In Canada, Edwin – who is "capable of action but prone to inertia" – eventually lands in British Columbia, where he ponders that the "trouble with Victoria is that it’s too much like England without actually being England. It’s a far-distant simulation of England, a watercolor superimposed unconvincingly on the landscape." Edwin reaches Caiette on Vancouver Island, a fictional place, which also appeared in Mandel's previous novel ''The Glass Hotel''. In Caiette, Edwin is confronted with "the unfathomable wilderness, dark towering trees crowding around the periphery." When Edwin walks into a forest near Caiette, he experiences a mysterious darkness and a mix of sounds − a violin, a hum as if he is at a train station, and an unfamiliar whooshing noise. When he leaves the forest, he meets a stranger named "Roberts", who claims to be a clergyman, but abruptly leaves when Edwin is unconvinced by this assertion.
Leaving Edwin, the novel jumps in time to the near present of its publication − 2020. There, the novel follows Mirella Kessler, who visits a sound and video performance by Paul Smith, the brother of Vincent Alkaitis, a former friend of Mirella's. Mirella, Vincent, and Paul have also appeared in ''The Glass Hotel''. During the performance, Paul shows a video that mirrors Edwin’s strange encounter – violin music, a train station, and a whooshing noise. After the performance, Mirella, who wants to reconnect with Vincent, confronts Paul about Vincent's whereabouts, but Paul has to inform Mirella that Vincent has probably died at sea a few years earlier. At the same time a person introduced as Gaspery-Jacques Roberts also speaks to Paul and asks detailed questions about the video shown during the performance. Mirella − curiously − seems to recognize Gaspery-Jacques from her childhood as she recalls him being a person involved in a shooting under an overpass, which left her traumatized.
Again, the novel pushes forward in time and now focuses on Olive Llewellyn, a young and successful writer. Olive lives on a lunar colony with her husband Dion and her daughter Sylvie. She is travelling on earth in 2203 to promote her first new book after the publication of her huge literary success ''Marienbad''. Many reviewers (Ron Charles, Yvonne C. Garrett, Laird Hunt, Bethanne Patrick and Marcel Theroux) have remarked on the similarities between Olive and Mandel: Like Mandel's ''Station Eleven'', Olive has written a book about a fictional pandemic before an actual pandemic happened''. '' Laird Hunt calls Olive "unquestionably a stand-in for Mandel herself".
To the end of her book tour, Olive is interviewed by a journalist named Gaspery-Jacques Roberts, the name of a character in her book.
After a further push forward in time to 2401, Gaspery-Jacques is the centre of attention. He lives in Colony 2 ("the Night City"), a moon colony, and was named by his mother after a minor character in Olive Llewellyn's ''Marienbad.'' After being unemployed for a while, his childhood neighbour Talia Anderson hires him as a hotel detective for the Grand Luna Hotel in the high functioning Colony 1.'''' During one of his shifts, he calls his brilliant sister Zoey to congratulate her on her birthday and later at night – on her insistence – visits her at her office. Zoey works at the Time Institute, where she presents Gaspery-Jacques the video shot by Vincent, which was also shown during Paul's performance.'''' Furthermore, Zoey reads a passage from ''Marienbad'' to Gaspery-Jacques, where Olive appears to write about the same curious incident.''''
Zoey explains that the incident could be file corruption: "moments from different centuries are bleeding into one another". For her, the file corruption could be seen as evidence for the simulation hypothesis, a hypothesis that everyone is at all times "living in a simulation".'''' Against the wishes of his sister Zoey, Gaspery-Jacques is recruited by a childhood friend, Ephrem, to work at the Time Institute. Considering the institute, Zoey says to her brother: "[w]hat you have to understand is that bureaucracy is an organism. And the prime goal of every organism is self-protection. Bureaucracy exists to protect itself."
Unaffected by the pleading of his sister, Gaspery-Jacques starts intense training to prepare himself to become a time traveller. His mission is to inspect the incident and prepare the gathered evidence for further analysis against the simulation hypothesis.'''' He is trained by the institute to interview the violinist in Oklahoma City named Alan Sami as well as Olive and Edwin during his time travels. During his training he learns that Olive will die from the SARS-12 pandemic three days after being interviewed by him,'''' but Gaspery-Jacques is explicitly instructed that he is not permitted to warn her about her imminent death.
Gaspery-Jacques does not heed the warning and alerts Olive in no uncertain terms about her impending death during the pandemic. Olive trusts Gaspery-Jacques and hurries back to the moon colony and thereby saves herself and her family. Yvonne C. Garrett has argued in her review of ''Sea of Tranquility'', that Mandel − through the eyes of Olive − has detailed her own experience of the COVID-19 pandemic, which occurred during the writing of the novel.'''' An example of this is a sentence detailing the human experience of the pandemic: "the panic, the lockdown, the constant sirens, technology exhaustion, the shifting and rethinking of personal and career priorities."''''
During lockdown Olive has a challenging time, but also experiences intimate moments with her family. For Olive "[t]his is the strange lesson of living in a pandemic: life can be tranquil in the face of death."'''' After the isolation due to the enduring lockdowns becomes unbearable, Olive goes outside into her garden where she overhears Gaspery-Jacques and Zoey and learns what she already suspected: that Gaspery-Jacques is a time traveller and that she should have died during the pandemic.''''
After Gaspery-Jacques has returned to the Time Institute, he is harshly reprimanded for warning Olive about the pandemic and her death. Nevertheless, he manages to be sent again through time to further investigate the anomaly. In 1918, he returns to Edwin, now a veteran of the Western Front during World War I. Knowing that Edwin's future included being committed to an insane asylum, he reassures Edwin that his experience in Canada in 1912 was not a hallucination and that he might be saner than he thinks. After returning to the moon and his original time, Gaspery-Jacques learns that due to his intervention Edwin did not get committed; however, he dies of the Spanish flu nonetheless, within 48 hours of his original death date. At the institute, Gaspery-Jacques also grasps that Aretta, the French publicist of Olive, is working for the Time Institute as well.
For his transgressions – messing with the timeline – Ephrem sends Gaspery-Jacques back in time: He finds himself at the scene witnessed by Mirella at the overpass. Ephrem hands him a gun after the fact and removes the device required for time travel. Then Gaspery-Jacques is imprisoned in a different century for a murder he did not perpetrate; he thereby receives a punishment which the Time Institute calls being "lost in time." In his sixties, Gaspery-Jacques develops a heart problem, while still incarcerated. During the ensuing stay in prison hospital, he is unexpectedly visited by Zoey. His sister hands him a new device necessary for time travel and they both travel to a farm near Oklahoma City in 2172. The farm is owned by a couple who agrees to hide Gaspery-Jacques.
Zoey explains that she was arrested on the day Gaspery-Jacques was "lost in time" but managed to be sent away to the "Far Colonies". Unbeknownst to the Time Institute, the Far Colonies have also developed a time machine and she has managed to use this machine to free her brother. She hints to Gaspery-Jacques that he should meet his neighbours, but he lives as a recluse on the farm. After some years of not engaging with the outside world, he hires a physician to remodel his face and iris but after the remodelling is done, he recognizes his new face and sees that it is in fact the face of the violinist Alan Sami.
To learn the violin, as Alan Sami did, he engages a neighbour of his. The neighbour is revealed to be Talia Anderson, his childhood friend, who was hunted by the institute and lived underground in the Far Colonies before she also had to hide in this time near Oklahoma City. Both marry and they later inherit the farm of the couple who hid Gaspery-Jacques. Gaspery-Jacques muses that "a life lived in a simulation is still a life".
After the death of his wife Talia, Gaspery-Jacques starts to play the violin in the airship terminal of Oklahoma City. There, he is visited by himself as he tries to investigate the anomaly. He thereby discovers that he has caused the anomaly by interviewing himself – and thus the anomaly he was sent out to investigate. As Alan Sami he experiences the anomaly and sees Vincent, Olive and Edwin at the same time as the software struggles with him being there twice at the same time and while repairing the corrupted file.

Leon Walsh is publisher for the magazine ''Summit'', which he will soon take over since his boss Joe Sussman has been killed. Walsh had a perfect alibi at the time of the murder. Professional killer Pluto then sends Walsh a bill of $100,000 for the murder.
On a cold November night in 1971, local ice hockey jocks Dwayne Archie Johnston, James Robert Paul Houghton, Lee Scott Colgan and Norman Bernard Manger get drunk, swear loudly and drive around looking for women to pick up. While driving, they spot local Cree student Helen Betty Osborne bundled in a winter coat as she walks home along the road. They force her into their car, groping her while she screams. The next morning, a young boy and his father, ice-fishing near a pump house, find the woman's fully-nude body abandoned in the snow, covered in multiple stab wounds and bruises. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police begin investigating the case; meanwhile, Lee Colgan's life begins to slowly go downhill due to his own guilt and mental instability.
The police, like the townsfolk of The Pas, are largely indifferent to the case, making racist remarks about Helen Betty and believing that Indigenous women are all sluts and that Helen Betty was probably picked up as a sort of prostitute. To the disgust of Angie, a local waitress at the town's most popular diner, a department store owner openly tells the joke, "did you hear about the new Indian wine (play on the homophone "whine"))? (in a babyish voice) I want my land back!". The four boys who murdered Helen Betty are all white, and therefore not initially suspected. The police haul in Helen Betty's boyfriend, a local Cree boy named Cornelius, and terrify him so badly with a photograph of Helen Betty's mutilated corpse that he faints during the interrogation. One policeman, Constable Mike Hall, is bothered by the racist attitudes towards Helen Betty. Being a white man himself, he knows little of Cree culture or Helen Betty's inner world, but discovers her schoolbooks and a collection of vinyl records and family photographs she collected in her bedroom. He listens to the last vinyl record she had purchased, a single of "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo", and finds only innocent, harmless artifacts in the room, not any sexual paraphernalia. Constable Hall is then made to go up to Helen Betty's home in Norway House to inform her family of her death. Helen Betty's mother does not speak English, but feigns that she does, while Helen Betty's little sister later translates the bad news in Cree after Constable Hall is gone, causing their mother to break down sobbing and screaming in grief.
As time goes on, less and less is known about the case. Newspaper offers of monetary rewards, as well as a hypnotism attempt on the truck driver who had been behind Lee Colgan's car on the night of the murder, do eventually link Colgan's license plate number to the murder vehicle. The car turns out to be Colgan's father's car; Lee had borrowed it that night. He is subsequently arrested and the car impounded, where a bra clasp is discovered that belonged to Helen Betty. It is revealed that Colgan has been vocal about his involvement in the murder, owing to his increasing mental health issues, and that his eccentric parents both suspect his involvement themselves, as well as his boss at a local department store, though none of them step up to testify. The four boys are given a lawyer known for his own corruption who quickly gets them all released from prison, leaving Helen Betty's case to go cold.
Over a decade later, Constable Steve Frishbilski travels to The Pas to reopen the case. He is initially ignored and an antisemitic remark is made about his name (he is called "Constable Frisbee"). The former high school students who had been classmates of Helen Betty's have long-since graduated, although the atmosphere in town is still haunted by the murder. Angie, who is part-Cree but pretends to be completely white, feels increasingly unsafe around the four boys who murdered Helen Betty, one of whom petends to stab her in the stomach as a joke, and chases an Indigenous man with his car until he runs him off the road, causing the man to drop his groceries. Frishbilski interviews Marie, a white girl and one of Helen Betty's former classmates. She admits that in all her time at school, she never once thought to ask Helen Betty or any of the other Indigenous students to come over to her house or be friends, something that she regrets in adulthood. She also reveals that Lee Colgan, in a drunken stupor during a makeout attempt in a car with her, had once admitted to the murder, frightening her. At the time, she had thought he was just seeking attention.
The case is brought into court. All four boys involved in the murder have since grown up, with one of them having moved to another province, starting his own family after getting married. Colgan himself lives with his increasingly aged, senile parents in his old childhood bedroom, unable to secure employment and having no hobbies or social interests. Helen Betty's aged mother and now adult little sister travel from their reservation to the courthouse to observe the outcome of the case. Helen Betty's mother has since learned some English, and listens in on the trial, hoping to see the boys convicted. Two out of four boys are convicted, while a flashback shows Helen Betty's family on the reserve saying farewell to her as they let her go to school in The Pas. Her mother, who told her to be careful and to enjoy herself, is still unable to move on from the loss, while Constable Frishbilski feels guilty that he was unable to get enough to convict all four boys. It is revealed that Helen Betty was gang-raped, beaten, internally-injured and stabbed over fifty times with a screwdriver tool, cracking her skull, ripping one of her kidneys apart and damaging her lungs severely before she died, after which she was dumped at the pump house.
''Class of '09'' takes place in America between the years 2007 and 2009. It features several references to 2000's American pop culture, including pop-punk, Myspace, and the music of Vitamin C and Soulja Boy. The story of the game follows Nicole, a high school girl whose family had to move several times in her childhood. After Nicole's father commits suicide and blames her in his suicide note, she decides to give up on living a normal well-adjusted life and take advantage of her sociopathy and youthful attractiveness to manipulate others around her for her own amusement. The game's creator SBN3 stated that "every personality and scenario the player can explore is based on real life experiences and encounters."
In one scenario, Nicole can steal pain medication from a jock who got injured playing lacrosse. Another scenario involves Nicole's P.E. teacher sexually propositioning her; she can attempt to extort money and drugs from him, but there's a possibility of an ending where Nicole is sexually assaulted and murdered. When Nicole discovers that her photography teacher is a white nationalist attempting to start a terrorist cell in the school, she can choose to join them and go to jail or report them to the Nation of Islam. There are fifteen possible endings the player can reach in ''Class of '09.'' Many of the game's endings involve Nicole getting assaulted, murdered, addicted to drugs, or incarcerated, but Nicole's ability to manipulate others for her own ends can result in better endings, such as becoming the valedictorian of her school or making a lot of money and moving to Los Angeles.

October 8, 1908 - "Adolf Hitler: failed". "What would have happened if the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts had decided otherwise? What would have happened if, on that minute, the jury had accepted and not rejected Adolf Hitler, if it would have fulfilled his artistic ambitions? That minute would have changed the course of a life, that of the young, shy and passionate Adolf Hitler, but it would also have changed the course of the whole world..."
The book includes two parallel scenarios:
First, Adolf Hitler's life is described, from October 8, 1908, until his death on April 30, 1945, and also including the consequences and further ramifications of his dictatorship - such as the Cold War, the Partition of Germany and the founding of Israel.
The fictional plot shows us the completely opposite life course of Adolf H. Hitler, who in this life would come to be always called "Adolf H.", was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna on October 8, 1908, and embarked on an intensive course of study. However, he fainted during a drawing class with nude models. Desperately he consults Eduard Bloch, his family doctor, who refers him to a certain Sigmund Freud.
Freud diagnoses his patient with an Oedipus complex. As it comes out, Adolf H.'s mother had been beaten by his father on several occasions. After the death of his father, followed by that of his mother, H. felt a double sense of guilt. After several sessions, Freud succeeded in curing his patient. Various love affairs in the Viennese nightlife allow Adolf H. to completely overcome his sexual inhibitions. (It is noteworthy that Freud is the main character of a play by Schmitt, "The Visitor".)
When war broke out in 1914, Adolf H. was drafted and sent to the French front - but unlike the historical Hitler, for whom the military experience offered a relief from a frustrating life, for Adolf H. being sent to war was a very unwelcome interruption of the promising beginning of his artistic career. Witnessing the horrors of WWI trench warfare made Adolf H. a lifelong pacifist.
When the war was over, Adolf H. moved to Paris to reconnect with his life as an artist. He joined the group surrounding André Breton, turned to surrealism and became a prominent painter within this artistic movement. He also began a passionate relationship with a French woman, but when she died of illness, Adolf H. abandoned his active artistic career and moved to Berlin where he became an art teacher.
However, in Berlin Adolf H. re-discovered a friend from Paris, Sarah Rubinstein, who has succeeded brilliantly in perfumery. She encouraged him to reconnect with painting. A passionate relationship began between the two, culminating in a marriage and the birth of twins.
During the 1940s and 1950s, Adolf H. became a world-famous artist. His son Rembrandt, who had become a famous physicist, worked in the German space program, his daughter Sophie married an American and entered the world of United States cinema.
After the death of his wife, his star faded in the 1960s. Adolf H. emigrated to California and devoted the rest of his life to lithography, while spending much of his time with his three grandchildren. In 1970, Adolf H. died peacefully, surrounded by his family.
The story is set the Appalachians of West Virginia during the late 1930s. The forty-two-year old Jess Tyler is a subsistence farmer who serves as an unofficial watchman over the abandoned Llewellyn coal mine that adjoins his property. A stern adherent to Christian fundamentalism, his wife Belle, of the local Morgan clan, deserted him years before with their two young girls, Jane and Kady, to live with the attractive ne’er-do-well and musician Moke Blue. Jess remains bitter and has no contact with his family.
One day Jess arrives home to discover a pretty young woman on his doorstep. At first suspicious of the girl's insouciance, she informs him that she is his youngest daughter Kady, now 19 years old. Unlike their illiterate mother Belle, the sisters have high school educations. Kady is the mother of an infant son, Danny, sired by her former lover Wash Blount, son of the wealthy coal mine owner. The Blount elders have disowned Kady and the child because she is of the Tyler clan. Demoralized, Kady has in turn left the child with her mother and sister. She takes up residence at Jess's farm. The former school teacher is determined to surrender herself to her carnal and acquisitive cravings. Jess has disturbing sexual thoughts about Kady. Her flirtatious behavior troubles and excites him and he takes to drinking. They embark upon an illegal business venture: distilling homemade whiskey and selling it to local taverns. Kady uses the money to buy fancy clothes. Jess, in a jealsous rage, comes close to murdering a local mine guard who flirts with Kady, and barely escapes imprisonment.
Kady is informed that Wash plans to defy his family and marry her. Jess discovers he has a grandson when daughter Jane arrives with Danny, fleeing from Moke who out of affection, attempted to abscond with the child. The baby has a curious brown moth-like or "butterfly" birthmark on its stomach. Jess and his daughters have a rapprochement and he gives them his blessing to son-in-law to be and the boy Danny. Wash and Jess, believing that Moke planned to harm the infant, capture him and prepare to deliver him to the authorities. Kady convinces them that Moke is harmless. After humiliating him, he is released. Moke survives a mysterious nocturnal assault by the knife-wielding Belle, who collapses when her lungs hemorrhage. Dying, she declares her love for Jess and attempts to apologize to her former lover Moke. The funeral arrangements are made by Moke and his clan. The Tyler family, including Jess, are excluded at gunpoint.
On the wedding day for Kady and Wash, Jess secretly observes Moke at a sniper's perch poised to ambush him as he travels to the ceremony. Jess eludes Moke, but notes that the shirtless man has a butterfly-shaped birthmark near his navel. Jess concludes that Moke is Danny's father, and that Kady has concealed his parentage. Jess believes that Belle had tried to kill Mote so he wouldn't reveal the truth and ruin Kady's marriage. When Wash is informed of this by Jess, he swears to kill Moke, then relents and cancels the wedding.
Jess ambushes Moke and shoots him in the stomach. Mortally wounded, Mote confesses that Kady is a child he sired with Belle: Danny is therefore his grandchild. The birthmark occurs only in male offspring and proves Moke's parentage. Jess casts the dying Moke into a deep mine shaft. Kady is unaware as to why Wash abandoned her at the altar. When she meets Jess in town they begin to drink and dance. He tells her nothing of the murder and of the secret of the birthmark. Knowing that he shares no kinship with Kady, he surrenders to his sexual compulsion for her, and she, distraught, complies. To satisfy Jess's moral concerns, they locate a clergyman and are married. Only Jess knows that the marriage is not incestuous. They spend two days at a motel making love.
The couple's co-habitation is discovered by Moke Blue's brother, Ed, and he spreads the secret. To escape opprobrium, Jess agrees to help Kady, Jane and Danny relocate to another county. They are intercepted by deputy sheriffs: Jess is served with a warrant for incest. Jess pleads guilty so that Kady, a material witness, can be released from custody. Kady, in turn, divulges to the court that Jess is her husband. Under cross examination, she is charged with perjury. To save her from going before a grand jury, Jess reveals to the court - and to Kady - that she is not his daughter, identifying Moke Blue's paternity. Kady objects, disgusted at the thought of being the offspring of the hated Moke. Jess reveals the secret of the "butterfly", and Ed Blue is forced to exhibit his own birthmark, which matches that of his nephew, Danny. The charges against Jess and Kady are dropped.
Kady guesses that Jess murdered Moke. Kady abandons him to marry Wash, now reassured that Danny is his biological son. After their departure, Jess discovers that his firearms are missing. Ed Blue and his clan surround the property. Jess, besieged in his cabin, keeps a journal. He descends into madness, hallucinating that he encounters Moke Blue alive in the mine shaft. His final journal entry reads "I’m cut off. Ed Blue is out there and…"
Guests rode on a cabin designed as a submarine vessel as they dived into a underwater exploration through the depth of the coral reefs in the Bermuda Triangle to find a sunken ship. The ride used special effects to simulate the exploration.

Three Cleaners, Keith (Pemberton), Nick (Shearsmith), and Trainee Maz (Opia) are sent to a Rich Hoarder's flat to clean it after the owner's death. They crack many jokes, though Keith reacts quite seriously, which Maz initially questions as they both move into the kitchen, though Nick tells her that Keith has had a hard life and his Son is Wheelchair bound due to suffering from multiple sclerosis. They check the kitchen cupboard and find a dead rat among some canned foods, which they double wrap in a plastic bag before Maz goes to hang it on the handle of the front door.
Maz then moves into another room whilst the other two continue cleaning and discovers a photo wall, she takes off a photo of the owner's deceased wife Brenda, though when she goes to place it back onto the wall, she unknowingly triggers a mechanism that causes the photo frame to slide away revealing a locked safe in a hole in the wall. After initially suspecting it contains the 3.5 million of the owner, they open it by pairing the combination with his wife's date of birth, revealing a small package labelled with "Danger, do not open", and a VHS Tape. They open the package anyway and take out a small bronze hare statue. They question why it was locked inside the safe but dismiss the thought to instead find a VHS player to watch the tape. As they search for the tape, Nick tells Keith that they found a dead rat and had double bagged it, before Nick, whilst holding the hare statue, wishes that the rat Was alive as it would mean less paperwork.
Keith then finds a VHS player and they watch the tape. The tape is a direct recording from Frank (Nigel Planer); the owner of the flat. He says that by the time someone watches the tape, he hopes to be free from the Curse he brought upon himself through greed and vanity. He mentions that inside the package is an object that has ruined countless lives including his. He got the object from a Holy man in Jaipur for a small fortune, and was told that the object would grant the bearer three wishes that would transform their life. It did for a while, before what happened to his wife Brenda. He then implores that whoever find the Package should not open it, and instead send it away and destroy it, saying that "Our lives are ruled by fate, and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow", before he stands up and Hangs himself.
The trio are initially hesitant about the statue, though Keith insists that Frank was simply delusional from the loss of his wife. Nick mentions how Hares are associated with witchcraft and trickery in almost every culture in the world, which he knows as he did a PhD in ethnology and folklore, but was stuck working as a cleaner due to his ongoing alcoholism. Keith puts the Hare statue back into the safe and steps outside the room before noticing the live rat double bagged on the front door handle, two which the pair insist it was dead when they bagged it, which leads them to believe that they wasted one of their wishes on bringing a rat back to life. Keith then kills the rat again as he couldn't concentrate. They then start to speculate about how the Hare statue has affected Frank's life; they bring up two pictures of Brenda taken six months apart, in the first photo, she is morbidly obese, whereas in the second photo, she is incredibly thin, which Keith states was because she had Cancer, though they notice in his diary it states that Frank "wishes there was a way he could help her", leading them to believe that, the wish actually gave her cancer leading to her weight loss and eventual death. Keith still refuses to believe that the Hare statue is Magic, so they bring up another theory at how he sent his brother on a vacation to Florida after he initially won the lottery, only for his brother to die in a boating accident, which Nick strongly states happened due to every wish Frank made Backfiring on him as in Folklore, and after his wife died he sold their house, moved to a flat and started buying large sums of items on E-Bay as he believed the money was cursed, though they still don't know what Frank's third wish was. Keith still doesn't budge on his theory. They continue to work again, with Keith cleaning in another room and Nick and Maz working on prying up floorboards. Keith gets a message from his Disabled Son, asking when he's coming home. Maz wants to wish for large sums of money, but Nick brings up the fact that Frank wished for the same thing, and that you Pay the Price if you are greedy, as "The Wish Granter is always Vengeful."
Maz wastes no time in specifically wishing for £93,000, which Nick states was an idiotic thing to do. Keith finds an old Monopoly Board game in the room he is cleaning as Nick starts prying up the Floorboards. After they remove the first floorboard they find a bag concealed within the planks, only for it to contain large sums of play money, which angers Maz. Though in the other room, the board game is shown to have large sums of real money, which Keith initially tries to pocket in hopes to pay for his son's treatment, though is caught in the act by Nick and Maz. Maz tries to take the money from Keith, stating how it's hers as she wished for it. The power dies and Maz runs away with the money. Frank restores power as Nick goes looking for Maz, saying that bad things will happen if the keeps the money. The power goes back on as they enter the back room to find Maz hiding, though she threatens them with the Hare statue, though Nick and Frank slowly try to approach her, with Maz backing away, trying to talk her out of keeping the money. Maz goes to run away, but accidentally sets off a chain reaction leading to her getting impaled on the back of the head by a loose floorboard with nails sticking out of it, killing her. Keith and Nick argue, with Keith initially trying to take the money for himself as he desperately wants the money to pay for Charlie's surgery, and states that if Nick had never found the tape, Maz would still be alive, making Nick realise something important. The Video was supposedly Frank's suicide video, yet it somehow ended up locked inside a safe, he initially thinks that Frank may be alive, but Keith angrily states that he isn't because He killed him, before striking Nick over the head with the Rabbit statue, knocking him out.
Whilst monologuing to himself, Keith attempts to stage Nick's death as an accident, pouring Alcohol on his lips and knocking out a gas pipe. Keith reveals that he heard about how Frank had won the lottery had and killed him in order to make off with his fortune to pay for Charlie’s medical treatment. Keith prepares to make his escape with the money, but then Frank, who was supposedly dead, shambles into the kitchen complaining of being hungry. He reveals that his final wish was to live forever and so, despite attempting to hang himself, and Keith's attempt to murder him, he cannot die. Meanwhile, Nick has regained consciousness and used their final wish for something unselfish, believing that it would break the curse; he had wished for Keith’s son to be cured. Charlie enters the room, showing a miraculous recovery, and Keith happily hugs his son. Charlie mentions how he smells something odd, which fills Keith with Dread.

During a theft, where Gunnar acts as a lookout, the Swede shoots and kills a shopkeeper while Gunnar fires two shots into the air. At the crime scene, the police find the bullets that Gunnar shot. They can be identified with a fired cartridge that Haugen found in Gunnar's home. The bullets come from the same weapon, and so everything indicates that the boy was there. However, the deadly shots were not fired with Gunnar's weapon, and the police therefore believe he is innocent. Gunnar and the Swede flee through the forest.

A story of the murder of Hanzel, a young Filipino immigrant found dead on the sidewalk of West Side Avenue in New Jersey. The circumstances leading to Hanzel's death are pieced together by Filipino detective Juan Mijarez, who takes on the case and interviews the teen's family and friends; but this triggers grim memories of his previous life as a government agent dispatched to Manila to kill student protestors.
Hanzel's first stop, Lolita's home, is a set right out of James M. Cain. Between his mother's abusive lover and her paralyzed new Anglo hubby, Lolita seems to have constructed the perfect expiation for the sin of selling her soul to support her children. On the other hand, the grandfather's house is a patchwork of warmly lit nooks steeped in middle-class comforts. Hanzel becomes a model student under his grandfather's strict but loving guidance, writing home to his siblings and sisters. However, unhappy and frustrated at not earning enough money to support his family, Hanzel keeps company with Filipino friends, drinking and eventually using and dealing a particularly corrosive kind of crystal meth.
More prominent points about the Philippine diaspora, the prevalence of shabu and gang warfare among impoverished youths, and the myth of the American dream versus the reality of a young man failed by his community emerge as police detective Juan probes Hanzel and his recently emigrated family's lives. The chain-smoking cop Mijares, however, is the star of ''Batang'', providing narration for the autobiographical monologue about the soon-to-be murdered Hanzel. The film is shot in long takes, maintaining an evocative distance that reads as Mijares' probing gaze. Though he and his mother have been gone from the Philippines for many years, his sun-drenched overexposed black-and-white dreams of his mother are the film's only link to pictures of the Philippines. When Lolita's effort to poison her lover's dog backfires, she hurriedly drags the dog's garbage bag-wrapped corpse across the kitchen floor. An ex-schoolteacher drug dealer, lost in visions of Shabu-fueled cultural revolution and Filipino hegemony, croons love songs to an empty Karaoke club.
Simultaneously, Mijares obsesses over Hanzel's murder in increasingly disturbing ways. Mijares imagines killing Hanzel since he's cut off from his wife and family and going to turn off his mother's life support she's been on for years. Later, he sees himself mercilessly pistol-whipping Hanzel to death in a fit of rage, bouncing up and down in a wild dance before finishing him off with two swift pops to the head. Mijares drops the investigation and starts drifting. Other expatriate Filipinos' stories appear out of nowhere. The film seems to fall apart until the detours lead back to the core in an unexpected twist.

The Confederacy of Independent Systems has captured the main production facility for the Galactic Republic's battle fleet. While Jedi Generals Anakin Skywalker and Mace Windu debate on how to proceed, Commander Cody and Captain Rex join them with a theory on their loss. Rex believes that the Separatist droid army uses analytics to predict Republic strategy. The droids learn their tendencies and use that information to fight. The Republic needs to constantly vary its attack. Windu notes that the losses on Anaxes are not commonplace. Rex believes that the Separatists counterattack is so specific because they learned his own personal strategy. Cody explains that if the Separatists have figured out to counter Rex, who is one of the most talented officers, the Republic could suffer even more losses. He proposes that they lead a squad behind enemy lines to steal any intel the Separatists have from their Cyber Center. Windu agrees to this plan, but Skywalker notices Rex obviously has something else on his mind and he asks him if he has anything else to say, and Rex denies this.
In the barracks, Cody finds Rex staring at an old picture of the two of them accompanied by the late ARC troopers Fives and Echo. Rex laments their deaths and the losses the Republic forces are taking in the war, which Cody understands. Rex tells Cody that he believes there's a chance Echo might still be alive, since the strategies the Separatists are using are old battle plans the two of them came up with, but he didn't tell this to the Jedi since they might think he's crazy. Cody is skeptical, but says it's time to go. Rex asks him who they're taking with them, and Cody responds "Clone Force 99." Going out to the landing platform with ARC trooper Jesse and clone medic Kix, Rex and Cody see the squad's shuttle, the ''Marauder'', come in for a wild landing that has other clones running out of the ship's way.
Rex asks Cody why he's never heard of this group. Cody explains that the squad, informally known as the "Bad Batch," consists of defectively born clones who underwent unique and "desirable" mutations. The squad, emerging from their shuttle, consists of Sergeant Hunter, the team's leader; Wrecker, the squad's brash strongman and assault specialist; Crosshair, the team's grim, sarcastic sniper; and Tech, the hyper-intelligent and knowledgeable tech specialist. Mounting a gunship, the assembled team departs for the Cyber Center. However, on their way the clones are spotted and shot down by a battle droid force, and end up crashing in a ravine, leaving Cody seriously injured and trapped inside the vessel's wreckage. It is there that the Bad Batch begins to demonstrate its unique qualities: Wrecker singlehandedly lifts the gunship off Cody's body, and then he and his squadmates engage the incoming droids in a surprisingly aggressive move, taking down the entire enemy force by themselves. After the clones have left, a second droid force investigates the crash site and inform Trench of their findings.
The clones make their way to the cyber center on foot, guided by Hunter's extraordinary sensory capabilities. With Cody incapable of continuing, Rex announces that he will take charge of the mission. This creates tensions with Crosshair and Wrecker, which threaten to escalate into a fight until Hunter intervenes and concedes command to Rex. Proceeding without Cody and Kix, they reach a Separatist outpost near the cyber center, which Rex decides to take, hoping that it will contain vital information. Using the Bad Batch's prior performance as his attack strategy, Rex and his fellow clones quickly overwhelm the outpost's droid garrison and capture its command and communication center. But while trying to hack into the cyber center's computers to investigate its defensive capabilities, Tech intercepts a message which announces the impending arrival of heavy droid reinforcements.
Rex splits up the squad for a diversionary three-front attack on the center's guard force, just as the droid relief forces arrive at the outpost; but before Trench can warn them about the clones' assault, the cyber center droids are taken by surprise. While Rex, Crosshair, and Jesse keep the guards occupied, Hunter, Tech, and Wrecker penetrate the building and capture its command center. As the other clones hold the incoming droid reinforcements off, Rex joins Tech in the command center. Tech hacks into the computer system and discovers the algorithm, but strangely it is not stored inside the center's memory banks but is instead being broadcast from another planet, Skako Minor. Digging in further, Tech manages to receive an audio signal which sounds like a human voice. Rex asks him to send a transmission requesting the person's identity, and the voice responds "CT-1409," as the voice's masking is dropped so it's clearly the voice of a clone trooper.
In the meantime, the encroaching enemy force drives the remaining clones back into the command center. Rex is so shocked by what the voice is saying that he briefly ignores Hunter telling him they need to leave. The clones fight their way out of the structure and escape aboard a speeder craft secured by Crosshair. While Trench learns about the clones' infiltration of the broadcast, Rex, in turn, is left brooding over the startling discovery that Echo is still alive: "CT-1409" was his identification number.
The plot's historical backdrop is the Burgos trials. Ana, an activist involved in the anti-Francoist struggle, has seemingly converted some of her life's worries into bodily symptoms, suffering from strange maladies.

On Rabbid Island, An intelligent Rabbid, Scribbles, a past and smart relative of the Rabbids, dreams of going to Mars to meet Martians only to hear from a news channel that a professor named Frank Nebula says that they are going to terraform Mars with Rabbids. Having enough of living with his Rabbid brethren on the island, Scribbles packs up his things and travels to Nebulous, only that the humans have collected lots of Rabbids for testing.
Trying to show the humans that he is smarter than the other Rabbids, Scribbles successfully clears the landing simulation and writes probability equations. However, no human noticed due to the Rabbids messing it up. That night, an employee named Olivia spots the Rabbid awake and she notices the picture he is drawing. Olivia also notices other smart things that Scribbles has done too. The Rabbids go on a plane to the Nebulous HQ. A mini-Rabbid, Mini, breaks a window on the plane, pulling most of the Rabbids off the plane and raining down near the neighborhood. Only Scribbles and four other Rabbids, Cosmo, a Rabbid who has self-confidence issues, Disco, a Rabbid girl that likes to dance by her boombox, Mini and Scuba, a Rabbid with Scuba gear that wants to swim. The next day, Olivia reports to Nebula that there is an intelligent Rabbid, but furious that he calls Rabbid-handling, demands John Trout to get the freeze ray and grants him access to the cryogenic room. John gets the freeze ray out to make it look believable until the robot's motherboard freezes.
Switching places with Scuba, Scribbles pretends to be a dumb Rabbid to join the crew and blast off into Mars. Olivia shows Scribbles that she recently discovered the terraforming device is a bomb. The Rabbids land on Mars and a chase pursues them to a cave where they discover the Martians. However, when the terraforming device is about to explode, Scribbles tries to get rid of it but the Rabbids keep bothering him. During this, Mini flings it into the mouth of a large orange Martian King, which swallows it and explodes in his belly, causing his radiated body to grow into a giant monster. The hologram message plays out that when saying about Earth’s grand cultures, it tunes into episodes of ''Sunny Love Beach'', which was the Rabbids' favorite show, and helps calm the giant Martian down, shrinking him back to his original size. Like the Rabbids, the Martians became big fans of ''Sunny Love Beach'', allowing the Martian king to learn how to speak English. He then welcomes the Rabbids into the Martian kingdom inside the planet. While the Rabbids were away, Nebula imprisons Olivia and John. Nebula then creates nuclear missiles to aim at Mars. Due to this, Olivia sends a message to Scribbles and the Rabbids to blast off back to earth with the Martin king in tow.
The Rabbids attempt to go back to Earth but a missile was fired by Nebula. The Martian king saves them but Cosmo loses his helmet. The Rabbids and the Martian king were taken prisoner with John and Olivia as Nebula prepares to fire the last missile, only for Scuba to play with it like he’s swimming on it. When he left, Scribbles comes up with a plan to bust them out. During their escape, the Martian king swallows an energy sphere fired from a drone, tuning the Martian king back as a monster again. When Scuba was off, Nebula fires it but the Martian king launches himself toward the missile, swallows it and lands back down, gets angry, and goes on a rampage. The Rabbids distract the Martian king in various ways, but the distraction gets spoiled when a drone destroys it and picked up Scribbles, preparing to drop him and the other Rabbids in the Martian king's mouth. However, during how he reveals why he used the Rabbids as scapegoats, Scribbles broadcast his plans to the news, shattering his reputation while Olivia freezes him with the freeze ray. However, just after he drops the Rabbids, John arrives with Roger from ''Sunny Love Beach'' who told him that the Martian king is his biggest fan, making the Martian King close his mouth to let the Rabbids bounce off and calming down the Martian to his normal size.
With Nebulous shut down due to Nebula's reputation, the Rabbids, Olivia, the Martian King, and the frozen Nebula return to the island to try and fix the ship while enjoying themselves.

Michelle is a successful commercial artist who chooses to live at home with her parents but still earns money, and Allegra often feels like she is living in Michelle's shadow, and that her parents are pretentious and have constantly fawned over Michelle's prodigious abilities since childhood. The family enjoys a renaissance fair one afternoon, and Michelle stays later, getting a ride with friends, when the car crashes and Michelle is left comatose. Her family, horrified, wait day and night for her to regain consciousness. While singing "Up Where We Belong" by Jennifer Warnes (a favourite family song), the Wideners are surprised and delighted to find out that Michelle has awoken.

While in the hospital, she hits on a male nurse, French kissing him and fondling him. Her parents, none the wiser, take her home and have a pool party in her honour, but Eve is shocked when Michelle eats a whole bowl of strawberries and then asks for whipped cream, as well. Michelle is sexually-frustrated at the party, upset when boys she likes are seen with other girls. Sneaking out at night, she bumps into a neighbour, Edward, walking his dog in the forest; the two begin a sexual affair that they make minimal effort to conceal.

Michelle is distraught when her parents try to take her to a brain damage clinic, where it is revealed that her initial CAT scan may have missed an undetected lesion or head trauma from the car crash that affects her impulse control. Michelle is especially bothered by the "freaks" she sees in the clinic, people who are physically debilitated by brain damage and unable to cognitively function. Losing employment after inappropriate behaviour, and tired of her family's rules, Michelle moves out of the house and finds solace in sex work as a prostitute, where she is taken advantage of by a physically abusive pimp. William misses Michelle, and learns from Edward that she is living in a room at a brothel. At the brothel, the pimp assaults William, and Michelle flees, returning home out of guilt for what happened to her father. She enters unconventional treatment for sex offenders exhibiting impulse control; all of them are male and former convicts from lower-class upbringings, something that the Wideners object to, but Michelle, the lone female nymphomaniac of the group, finds that she and the other members of the therapy group are kindred spirits. She helps one man in particular who has the impulse to rape women who refuse a relationship with him, teaching him how to respect the wishes of others and earn respect from women. Despite her progress, Michelle's expensive psychiatric drugs and therapy will be cut off by her insurance provider, leading her to run away from home again. William and Eve later find her living in a homeless shelter, filthy, panicked and covered in dirt. She is brought back home, where she is able to receive therapy again. Allegra returns home after William apologizes for ignoring her, while Michelle gives a speech to her family and fellow therapy group members, explaining how her brain damage has changed her as a person.

He hires a new teacher Shanti (Miruna Magar), who seems to have feelings for him. She keeps trying to flirt with Kaji, but he brushes her off each time.
Now that he has a master's degree in mathematics, Bam Kaji (Saugat Malla) has returned to the village. In some informal chats, he is asked to be married by his parents because Maiya, his ex-wife, has left him. He rejects the idea that any lady in the village is deserving of being his wife. He makes the decision to return to the city. He sees Shanti on his way back to the city and instantly falls in love with her. He returns to his home after deciding to remain in the village. He then requests that his father provide him with employment at the same institution where Shanti is a teacher. He is appointed as a math instructor.
Bam Kaji often attempts to flirt with Shanti but she seems to ignore him, while Shanti constantly tries to flirt with Kaji but he keeps ignoring her. Kaji agrees when Shanti requests a few days off to go visit her mother, who resides in a different village. Moreover, she requests him to accompany her. He initially declines, but when his mother insists that he go because Shanti's village is far away and it is his responsibility to get her safely to her home, he agrees.
The following day, Kaji finds Bam Kaji preparing to travel with them while mounted on a horse. Thereafter, the three of them depart for her home. Later, after walking a long distance, Shanti asks Bam Kaji if she can ride on his horse, and he immediately agrees. When they arrive at her house, they learn that her mother is the only member of her family. She speaks with Kaji and Shanti and expresses no concerns about their choice to be married. Kaji is shocked after hearing it, he tells them he never expressed her anything regarding this matter.
Shanti presents a letter with Kaji's name on it, and Kaji closes the talk by joking that it appears to be a love letter. When Kaji got back home, he realized the letter was written by Bam Kaji, but B.K. had removed "Bam" and only left "Kaji" in the letter before leaving it on Shanti's desk. Bam Kaji never says he wants a reply to his "letter" but asks Shanti for her response. He only requests her response, and she assures him that he will receive it shortly. He gladly accepts the envelope she hands him, examines it later, and realizes it wasn't a letter in response to his letter which he expected. It was his suspension letter as an instructor at the school for his unprofessional behavior. He gets furious at Kaji for suspending him; he tries several times to get his job back, but Kaji never gives him his job back.
Bam Kaji is drunk and seeks to acquire Shanti by getting rid of Kaji. He pulls the knife out and moves to murder Kaji. His father stops him and beats him vigorously, because he is angry that Bam Kaji wants to kill his own cousin because of a girl. They then go to Shanti’s home to talk about getting her married to Bam Kaji, which she declines instantly. Thinking of his last resort, Bam Kaji decides to kidnap her and marry her since it is acceptable in their culture.
Shanti gets abducted by Bam Kaji, who then brings her to his residence. Kaji’s father tells him about this incident, where he blames Kaji for not being man enough to protect her. He praises Bam Kaji for being a real man. Kaji then realizes his love for Shanti. While at the marriage ceremony of Bam Kaji and Shanti, B.K.’s father announces there is a dead body in the yard, everyone runs to see it. Taking this opportunity, Kaji runs away from the ceremony with Shanti. Bam Kaji gets to know that he has been tricked; he runs to find Kaji and Shanti. When he eventually caught them, it was B.K. and Chhantyal disguised as Kaji and Shanti. Bam Kaji gets furious and starts screaming; he walks away, thinking of the moments he spent with Shanti. Kaji and Shanti are now walking together where she asks him to at least propose to her now. He replies there is no need to do it, since she should already know it by now.

Claire Rivers is a 21-year-old girl living in Los Angeles. To solve her anxiety and depression, she hires a cameraman to make a documentary that follows her journey as she interviews spiritual figures in search for the meaning of life.
On the first day of her documentary shoot, she fails to find anyone who is Buddhist, so she sets up an online video call with a guru. Claire visits his colleague who sells Claire on the promise of a multi-weekend spiritual retreat. When Claire arrives at the planned meeting spot, nobody is there.
After this, Claire decides to visit a psychic medium that gives Claire a pendulum reading. She later meets with a non-duality expert who explains that she is made of the same materials as stars. Claire goes to a second non-duality expert, who tells her that nothing exists because what we see in space is millions of years old and has possibly already been destroyed or devoured by black holes.
Pushed to her breaking point, Claire tells Earl that she has constant anxiety over the fact that one day her loved ones will die. She thinks if she can become enlightened, she will care about them less and will be in less pain.
Earl suggests she meet with an art dealer who sells psychedelics. Claire takes LSD under his supervision, and gets lost amongst his exhibits. Earl later finds her naked, running through an alley, being detained by a security guard.
The film ends six months after her arrest. Claire admits that she has reviewed all the footage, as she was the one to edit the final film. In the time she spent watching herself, she realized how many mistakes she made and how silly she seemed. She said she did not find enlightenment, but had a good adventure and is proud of herself for facing her fears and not being afraid to look silly, regardless.

The man receives medical examinations at home, from a doctor who confronts his wife, Eva, about how difficult recovery can be after a lobotomy, which her husband has recently undergone. After the doctor leaves, Eva begins to clean a window by climbing stairs, but loses her balance and dies from the impact. The sight of his dead wife causes in Harold a state of shock, which drives his mind to wander through mysterious mazes in a state of confusion. While a voice calls and orders him to join him, Harold finds himself in an art museum. Attracted by the voice, he tears up a painting, and then we see him in his bathroom taking a jar of sulfuric acid. Harold finds himself back in the museum, and is arrested after throwing acid on another painting. After leaving prison, he returns home, where he again hears the voice that pushes him to return to the museum. While sitting contemplating a new painting, Harold has a vision of his wife next to him, commenting on the beauty of the artwork. Harold is awakened by the voice of a man, and realizing his wife’s absence, takes the picture and ruins it with acid again. In the latter sequence, it is shown that Harold is in reality a patient of a psychiatric hospital, who likes painting.
In 1863, Jerry MacDuff and his wife Annie, who is part Cherokee, are headed west along the Santa Fe Trail when they are ambushed by an Apache band led by Go-yat-thlay, also known as Geronimo. Jerry and Annie are killed but when their child Andy is discovered in the wagon, Geronimo keeps fellow raider Juh from killing the baby, whose resemblance to his mother prompts Geronimo to think of him an Indian.
Andy grows to manhood as an adopted son of Geronimo and his wife Morning Star. As a youth he earns the name Shoz-Dijiji (Black Bear) after killing such an animal in single combat. He also grows to hate the enemies of his Apache tribe, the Be-don-ko-he, particularly Mexicans and American settlers. Geronimo is elected chief of the Be-don-ko-he after the previous chief, Mangas Colorado, is treacherously slain by white soldiers. Juh becomes chief of another Apache tribe, the Ned-ni. On several occasions, Juh insists that Shoz-Dijiji is a white, not an Apache, and should have been killed. After the great chief Cochise embraces Shoz-Dijiji as a true Apache, Juh stalks into his hogan one night with a knife to do the deed himself. But Shoz-Dijiji slips past him in the darkness and threatens Juh with a bow and arrow until the older man agrees to give him three ponies and promise never to come after Shoz-Dijiji again.
Cochise dies of cancer, Geronimo takes his place as war chief of all the Apaches. Under his leadership, Shoz-Dijiji earns renown as a warrior but declines to torture captives as Geronimo and some of the other Apaches do. He also grows increasingly attracted to a young Apache woman, Ish-kay-nay, whom Juh also wishes to marry. Like Mangas Colorado before him, Geronimo is captured by soldiers after having been invited to the nearby American fort for a conference. Over the next three months, as Geronimo languishes in prison, Shoz-Dijiji enrolls in the local school to learn the English language, leading the Americans to believe he wishes to assimilate. His real purpose is to gather more accurate intelligence to help the Apaches defeat the Americans. Shoz-Dijiji breaks Geronimo free and the two return to their tribe.
Shoz-Dijiji achieves warrior rank by slaying three white prospectors, and thus feels ready to claim Ish-kay-nay as his mate. But when American soldiers come looking for the prospectors’ killer, the Apaches hurriedly decamp to Mexico while Geronimo, Shoz-Dijiji, and other warriors remain behind to harry any pursuers. During this assignment, Shoz-Dijiji happens upon the attempted abduction and rape of a white girl, Wichita Billings, by three cowboys. He kills two of the men and wounds a third. Then he surreptitiously follows Wichita to make sure she returns safely to her father’s ranch.
After more ferocious fighting in Mexico, Shoz-Dijiji is named a war chief of the Be-don-ko-he. But the father of Ish-kay-nay prefers Juh as a mate for his daughter, so he demands that Shoz-Dijiji give him fifty ponies as a bride price. The young Apache slips into Mexico to try to steal the ponies. His own pony gets away from him and is found by Juh, who brings it back to the Be-don-ko-he and proclaims Shoz-Dijiji to be dead. Grief-stricken and empty inside, Ish-kay-nay becomes the mate of Juh.
Still trying to assemble the bride price for his beloved, Shoz-Dijiji successfully steals a hundred horses from a Mexico ranger, only to lose them to an American cavalry patrol. He follows them toward Fort Apache, where Juh and other chiefs are gathering to attack. He again encounters Wichita Billings, who brings him a fresh horse in gratitude for previously rescuing her. Shoz-Dijiji finds the remains of an Apache camp destroyed by American soldiers. Ish-kay-nay lies there mortally wounded. She tells him of Juh’s treachery, then dies. During a subsequent battle, Shoz-Dijiji captures an American lieutenant, Samuel Adams King, who is romantically interested in Wichita. When another warrior attempts to kill the prisoner, Shoz-Dijiji kills the Apache instead and sends King back to the Billings ranch. Then Shoz-Dijiji stalks Juh, discovers the man made no attempt to defend Ish-kay-nay from the American attack, and kills him in a knife fight.
The death of his beloved drives Shoz-Dijiji to spend months alone the wild, hunting and raiding, during which he earns the nickname “the Apache Devil.” Eventually he rejoins Geronimo’s tribe. During an attack on an American settlement, he discovers an Apache chief about to kill Wichita. To save her life, Shoz-Dijiji claims her as his prize and kills the chief. He brings her back to the Be-don-ko-he and introduces her to Geronimo. After Shoz-Dijiji conducts her safely to the outskirts of her home, they share their first kiss — after which a confused Billings pushes him away. Although she soon changes her mind, he rides away, ignoring her pleas to come back.

The two cars race down the dark road with each car briefly taking the lead slightly from the other as Johnny howls and laughs through out the entire race. As the car approach the finish line the race is so close that both fire barrels at the end of the race shoot steam from the top at the exact same time.

Jackie in a monotone voice asks if they can go home. Sam turns to Jackie telling her that he loves her when Jackie turns to him with a devilish grin and says "I love you too, Dreamboat" with a voice that seems to combine hers and Dee-Dee's.

Cetto La Qualunque, after his experiences in politics, has rebuilt a life in Germany, where he has lived for four years with the beautiful Petra, his new wife, their daughter and his loyal friend Pino.
One evening, returning from a dinner with his in-laws, he receives a phone call informing him that his elderly aunt is on her deathbed: upon returning to his birth town Cetto is informed by the latter of his true origins, as the woman reveals to him that his father was not a door-to-door agent of detergents as they had always told him but the prince Buffo di Calabria and that therefore he too is of royal blood.
Cetto, who in vain seeks confirmation of these noble births from his ex-wife Carmen, who became a nun, and he remains schocked by the changes brought by his and his ex-wife's son, Melo, in the municipality of Marina di Sopra, of which Melo became mayor. He is then approached by Count Venanzio, who pushes him to accept his nobility and to aspire to recreate the Bourbon Two Sicilies, who Cetto also starts to like as idea but wants to rename it as the Two Calabrias, since, as he said, one Sicily is enough. Democracy has now failed in Italy and Cetto is the right man to return to the monarchy.
Cetto and his old friends, however, have a lot of difficulties in adapting to the new context in which they have to live and besides they must deny Ferdinando Buffo di Calabria, nephew of Cetto's father, claims and accusations, who pushes him to have a DNA test to confirm who is his father, to show if he's actually blood related to the noble. Cetto is also forced to leave Petra to marry, according to Venanzio's instructions, the Infanta of Portugal, in order to make his reign more solid. Petra, however, while leaving, promise revenge.
Having also obtained the support of the Church in the person of a powerful cardinal, the wedding between Cetto and the Infanta is celebrated, even if Cetto didn't even bother to know her because of her ugliness, preferring by far the frequentation of many escorts such as his usual, and everything seems ready to start the referendum to ask Italians for the maintenance of the republic or the reinstating of the monarchy. The electoral campaign is organized by Melo, after he was forced to abandon the career as mayor, after he is investigated again as a figurehead for his father, this time in Germany.
Just when Cetto's victory is celebrated, the latter discovers that it is actually a plan of Venanzio, who feigned and who also sabotated the DNA results to make him believe he was a noble, to obtain power and so, a few hours before his coronation, Cetto and Pino reveal to him that they have discovered his plots and they threaten him to make sure he never to tries to rip them off again. The coronation is celebrated and Cetto thus obtains power and becomes king, but soon after Petra wounds him with a pistol.
However, Cetto is saved and, after recovering, decides to continue to pursue his monarchical delusions, in which he now believes too.

When the itinerant con-man and charismatic preacher, Syd Gody, arrives in the community Linda accepts him as the Savior; Gody seduces her.
Linda’s evangelical fervor leads Gody to believe he is the returned Messiah. He unsuccessfully attempts to raise the dead from a local cemetery. When Gosy fails to heal Linda’s son, the boy exposes his charlatanism. Gody repents, and offers his gun to Oakey to kill him. The boy accidentally shoots himself with the weapon, and Gody is detained as the suspected murderer. When Sally discovers her step-brother's death, she flees hysterically from his corpse, and is shot down by her step-father Buzz, mistaking her for Syd Gody. Gody is cleared of the murder charge, but renounces his evangelical illusions and returns to work in the mines.
Linda remains loyal to both her faith and to Gody.
Vakpati invokes several gods in the first 61 verses. He starts with Brahma, and then refers to Vishnu and his incarnations including Narasimha, Varaha, Vamana, Kurma, Mohini, and Krishna. Next, the poet invokes Shiva and his aspects such as Ardhanarishvara. He then refers to Shiva's son Kartikeya, and Shiva's consort Parvati, naming her various aspects including Mahishasura Mardini, Kali, and Chamunda. He further invokes Saraswati, Surya, Shesha, Ganapati, Lakshmi, and Kama, and Ganga.
In the next 36 verses, Vakpati talks about poets, their impact, their challenges, the language used by them (Sanskri or Prakrit), their aspirations, and their disappointments.
Vakpati then glorifies his patron Yashovarman, calling him the Lord of the Earth, deifying him as an incarnation of Vishnu. He states that the king of gods - Indra - invites Yashovarman to share his throne. The poet then describes a mythological episode of how Indra cut the wings of the flying mountains. Next, Vakpati talks about Yashovarman's courtesans playing water-sports in the bathing tanks of defeated enemies. He then describes pralaya, the periodic dissolution of the world, stating that its sole survivor - Vishnu - had incarnated as Yashovarman. The next 10 verses describe the pitiful condition of the widows of the enemy kings.
Vakpati then states that after Yashovarman's coronation ceremony, as soon as the rainy season ended, the king launched a campaign for world conquest. The gods, the celestial nymphs, and the bards celebrated this event. Yashovarman's army comprised four units: infantry, cavalry, chariots, and elephants: Vakpati describes the horses and elephants in more detail.
The poet then describes the winter season, stating that Yashovarman marched to the Shona river and then to the Vindhya mountains. There, the Shabara tribals directed him to the temple of the goddess Vindhyavasini. The king worshipped the goddess, and Vakpati describes these ceremonies and the goddess in great detail. He uses various names for the goddess, including Madhavi, Bhairavi, Chandi, Narayani, Shankari, Kali, Shabari, Gauri, and Tapasi. Vakpati then narrates the king's thoughts upon seeing a dead body in the temple precinct. Vakpati continues with poetic descriptions of the summer season, followed by that of the rainy season.
Next, he describes the killing of the Gauda king. The allies of the Gauda king initially deserted him and fled away, but later, they re-grouped and joined him on the battlefield. Yashovarman defeated them in a fierce fight, seized the fleeing Gauda king, and killed him.
Yashovarman then marched along the coast, and defeated the Vanga king. He proceeded to the South, where the southern king cordially submitted before him. His army crossed the Malaya Mountains, and reached the sea shore, where Vali and Ravana once roamed about. Yashovarman then defeated the Parasikas in a fierce battle as part of his world-conquest, just like Raghu had done in the past (a reference to Kalidasa's ''Raghuvaṃśa''). He marched to the western mountain ranges, and collected tribute from the local rulers. Vakpati narrates how the ancient king Pṛthu had leveled the mountains, which had now grown in size.
Vakpati states that Yashovarman then arrived on the banks of the river Narmada, and encamped there. The poet personalizes the river, and describes her love for the royal sage Kartavirya. Next, the king visited the sea shore, and stayed at the site of the churning of the ocean. His army then marched across the desert region of Maru-desha (Marwar).
Vakpati then describes Yashovarman's arrival in the suburbs of the Shrikantha (Thanesar) city, where the ancient king Janamejaya had performed a snake sacrifice ceremony to avenge his father's death. The poet provides a graphic description of the ceremony. The king then moved to Kurukshetra, where he enjoyed water-sports with his lovers in a famous lake, which was the site of the fight between Bhima and Duryodhana. Vakpati alludes to episodes from the ''Mahabharata'', including the fight between Karna and Arjuna.
According to the poet, Yashovarman then visited Ayodhya and built a "palatial temple" there in one day. Vakpati narrates how the gods transported the city of Ayodhya to heaven as requested by the ancient king Harishchandra. After Ayodhya, the king proceeded to the slopes of the Mandara mountain, where the local rich people offered him gifts. His army then proceeded northwards, and visited the Himalayan region, including the vicinity of the Kailasa mountain. Vakpati describes the natural scenery, as seen by the king's army, in detail. He then describes the pitiful state of the kings subjugated by Yashovarman.
Vakpati then describes erotic scenes involving the army soldiers and their wives after the end of the expedition. He then narrates how panegyrists glorified the king using poetic exaggerations and described how the king's lovers undressed before they got into bed with him. Vakpati mentions that now the king focused solely on love-making. The wives of the king of Magadha (or Gauda) were made to wave fly-whisks over the king, like the slave girls, and cried at their plight. The poet then describes the king's love scenes and playful activities with his lovers. Next, he narrates the grooming and make-up activities of these ladies after bath.
The poet then provides an autobiographical note, stating that he held the title "Kavi-raja" (king of poets), and that poet Kamalayudha highly respected him. He describes his work as "spray particles of poetic nectar churned out from the ocean of Bhavabhuti's works". He enjoyed reading the works of poets such as Bhasa, Jvalanamitra, Kuntideva, Kalidasa, Subandhu, and Harichandra. He also enjoyed reading scritpures, works on grammar and mimamsa, prosody, Bharata's ''Natya Shastra'', Gautama's Nyaya Sutras, lgendary texts (such as the Ramayana and the Mahabharata), and the works of other excellent poets. Vakpati then praises himself, calling his poetic speech "full of sentiment, full of substance, brilliant and solid in thought".
Vakpati then describes what led him to compose ''Gaudavaho''. He states that one day, in the assembly, the audience requested him to tell them about king Yashovarman, especially the slaying of the Gauda king. Vakpati praises the king, calling him a manifestation of the god Vishnu.
Vakpati then devotes 150 verses to describe the "dry and insipid worldly life" of his period, venting out his frustrations about sycophancy of courtiers, nepotism, fraud, poverty, stinginess of rich people, lack of respect for the non-wealthy, and general wickedness in the society. The poet then states that in this sordid world, it would be rewarding to hear about king Yashovarman's virtues. He then glorifies the king, narrating how god Shiva tested him by appearing as a lion before him, calling him as an incarnation of Vishnu multiple times, and describing him as a member of the lunar dynasty.
Vakpati states that now "Gaudavaho, a big enterprise" will be narrated. The assembly then disperses to meet the next morning. The poet describes the sunset and the moon-rise. He states that he decided to sleep, finding himself unable to continue narrating the king's exploits because doing so incorrectly would weaken the king's glory. However, he did not get sleep, and used the night to compose 42 verses describing love scenes involving young women applying make-up, couples flirting and drinking wine together, hugging and kissing, enjoyment of sex, and sleep afterwards. He then describes the end of the night and the sunrise.
After waking up and finishing his morning routine, Vakpati prepares to narrate the king's life, describing it as similar to the life of Chanakya. A great assembly of gods, nymphs, men, women, and birds gathers in an open auditorium (as had happened in Bhavabhuti's play ''Uttararamacarita''). As Vakpati starts his narration, there is perfect silence. He states that he is now going to talk about the king's life, and asks the audience to listen.
A king and his pregnant wife flee an attack by a garuda. The queen gives birth along the way. Due to the danger, they place their newborn daughter in a boat on a riverbank and leave her there. A merchant finds the infant and raises her as his own, naming her Bidasari. He and his wife place her soul into a small fish, which they hide within a casket in a pond in their garden. Bidasari grows into a beautiful girl.
Djouhan Mengindra, Sultan of Indrapura, is married to the beautiful but vain Lila Sari. Lila Sari becomes consumed with worry that she'll be replaced as his favorite wife. She sends four servants to seek out any girl more beautiful than her, leading to the discovery of Bidasari. She commands that Bidasari be brought to her, claiming that she will treat her like an adopted daughter. Her parents reluctantly allow her to go. When Bidasari arrives, the Queen locks her up and beats her. The Queen wants to kill her but is thwarted until the despondent Bidasari – who believes her parents have abandoned her – tells her about the fish containing her soul. If she removes the fish from the water during the day, Bidasari will die. The Queen obtains the fish and wears it on a ribbon around her neck, and Bidasari swoons. Triumphant, the Queen has her body sent home. Her father hopes to revive her using the fish, only to discover that it’s been stolen. At midnight, Bidasari returns to life and tells her parents what happened, but she “dies” again at dawn. Her parents, terrified of the queen, build a refuge in the wilderness which they name Pengtipourlara. There they leave Bidasari alone for her safety, visiting regularly with supplies.
King Djouhan dreams about the moon falling to earth. When told that the dream means he will find a beautiful and deserving wife, he denies that anyone could ever equal Lila Sari. He goes on a hunting trip, only for his servants to discover Bidasari's refuge. The King orders them to break open the gates, enters alone and finds the dead Bidasari. He is struck by her beauty, and tries unsuccessfully to wake her. He returns again the next day, and stays until night when she awakes.
Bidasari is alarmed, but the King declares his love, explains who he is and states his wish to marry her. Bidasari tells him about the Queen, before swooning again as dawn approaches. He returns home, where he notices the fish on the Queen’s necklace and realizes that Bidasari was telling the truth. He takes the fish and at that moment, Bidasari is fully revived. The King returns and marries her in a magnificent wedding, building her a new palace. He invites Lila Sari to make amends with Bidasari, but she insults them both until he leaves in anger.
Meanwhile, Bidasari’s biological parents are once again reigning in their kingdom. Her brother learns of her story and decides to search for her. He successfully tracks her down and meets her foster family and husband. Bidasari is initially conflicted, wondering why her parents abandoned her, but the prince explains their story, and they arrange for a family reunion on the isle of Nousa Antara. There, the prince goes on a hunting trip which leads him to a palace. He fights an Ifrid and rescues a maiden named Princess Mendoudari, whom he brings back as his bride. The royal families are overjoyed when he returns, having thought him lost. With the celebrations coming to an end, they return to their kingdoms to live in peace and prosperity, with Bidasari’s story spread far and wide. Lila Sari is left alone in solitude to repent.

After finding a mysterious book of stories in her attic, college student Chloe Whitaker (Savanna Rae) gathers her friends for a video call to reignite an ancient storytelling tradition called "The Moonlight Order." She tells the story of Sara Bogan, now remembered as The Boogeywoman, who lived a tortured life and found solace sharing stories. Chloe includes footage located on the dark web, unwittingly unleashing a dark force upon the call that targets the friend group one by one...but could it be Sara Bogan herself? After Jenny (Shannon Leigh Webber) and Alyssa (Alexandra Alontaga) disappear from the call, Michael (Bryan Renaud) heads on foot to Chloe's house.
Found footage segments are interspersed with the main plot and include a queer Tinder date gone wrong ("Date from Hell"), a haunted bridge ("Emily's Bridge"), a woman followed by herself ("Selfy"), and documentary footage ("The Pittsford Haunted House"). "Emily's Bridge" and "The Pittsford Haunted House" were previously featured in an anthology entitled ''Dead Static''.
As Michael runs through the city, the dark force overtakes the call and reveals footage of Chloe participating in a ritual, becoming possessed. As the friends (Sarah Patin and Ben F. Locke) attempt to stop him, Michael arrives at Chloe's house where he finds hundreds of candles set up for a ceremony, but Chloe is nowhere to be found. We see that the ritual required a ceremony of six, only completed with a human sacrifice. Finally, we see Michael enter Chloe's screen on the call before he is attacked by Chloe, posessed by Sara Bogan.
Chloe calmly collects "The Moonlight Order" book and walks towards the camera as the call runs out of time. Despite similarities with ''Host'' (2020), the film is based on the 2019 theatrical play ''Scary Stories: Are You Afraid?'', and entered production before ''Host'' (2020) premiered.

At the local museum, Presley Carnovan and the Mummies discover a new exhibit about Egyptian artifacts. Part of the exhibit includes two sarcophagi, each labeled "Kimas" and "Scorpion". When Ja-Kal comes across the sarcophagi and looks at it, the other Mummies are surprised about how he remembers the names. When the Mummies and Presley leave the room, Ja-Kal begins to open them up, until Set and Anubis attack him, revealing they are working for Evil Sorcerer Scarab to steal the Mummies inside and use them to battle against him and the others. Set and Anubis successfully escape with the sarcophagi and head back to Scarab's lair, where the three then summon the Mummy inside the "Scorpion"-labeled sarcophagus, named Arakh, and bring him back to life. Meanwhile, Ja-Kal reveals to the other Mummies about his brother Arakh, who during the 1500s, was a spear bearer for Amenhotep. When Ja-Kal had saved his life from a lion, he was left in the dust when Ja-Kal was made the leader of the Royal Hunt. From that point on until his death, Arakh began working with Scarab on his main plot to kill Prince Rapses and then eventually Ja-Kal.
Ja-Kal and Arakh soon confront each other in the museum and fight. Back at his lair, Scarab summons the other Mummy, Kimas, who is Ja-Kal's nephew and Arakh's son. Upon Heka's request, Kimas soon explores San Francisco and later meets Nefer-Tina and Armon, unbeknownst that Scarab and Arakh were planning to use him to trust the other Mummies and kill Ja-Kal. Nefer-Tina and Armon take him to various places in the city until Scarab and his Shabti attack the two Mummies, to which they discover that Kimas is a mummy and can transform in armor as they can. They all soon escape and Kimas reunites with his uncle Ja-Kal. Ja-Kal gets extremely cautious about how Kimas is, and then soon begins to contemplate Kimas, Arakh, and his own duty of being the leader of the Mummies and protecting Presley. Back at the Sphinx, Rath discovers the power of Arakh's scorpion charm and that if it is destroyed, Arakh would be sent back alongside his armor beyond the Western Gate, and plot to find it to send him back. They are soon interrupted by Presley when he finds out that the museum has taken away the Arakh/Kimas exhibit which contains the said charm. The Mummies chase after the van, but Scarab beats them first and retrieves it himself for Arakh. When the Mummies meet with Kimas at Beefy Burger, Kimas tells them where the charm is, however, Presley doesn't believe Kimas is telling the truth.
The following night at Fort Point, Kimas leads Ja-Kal to one of Scarab's hideouts to find the charm much to Presley's hesitation. Ja-Kal soon discovers that the hideout is fake, and he is soon attacked by Scarab, his Shabti, and Arakh. As the other Mummies try to find him on Presley's orders to try and expose Kimas, Kimas himself soon discovers that Arakh, his own father, was lying about Ja-Kal's betrayal and that Arakh was using him as a weapon against Ja-Kal over his jealousy. The Mummies and Scarab end up in a massive fight which soon ends with Arakh injuring Ja-Kal's arm. Kimas takes down Arakh and certifies to him that Ja-Kal was more of a father than he was. Still wearing his armor, and knowing there was no other way to send Arakh back, Kimas destroys Arakh's scorpion charm and armor, sending them both back beyond the Western Gate. Realizing his defeat, Scarab escapes the scene.
As the Western Gate appears, Ja-Kal asks Presley to fire an arrow of his feelings and love for both Kimas and Arakh. He does so as the arrow flies into the Western Gate, ending the feud once and for all.

Danish bailiffs rule the Faroe Islands with a firm hand. In Tórshavn resides the bailiff Hammershaimb, who is hard and unapproachable in his civil service, but is caring and loving as a family man. He tries to relieve his daughter Inger's boredom by letting her travel to his new country house, Skardir, while he ponders his administrative problems. First and foremost, it is the royal trade monopoly and its harsh methods that is a source of dissatisfaction, and public opinion against the monopoly is growing stronger. The Faroese are aware that this institution is impoverishing them, and the leader of the public opinion campaign against it is Paul Nolsøe, with the rich farmer Hannes Klasor by his side. The first time Paul and the bailiff's daughter Inger meet is when Paul, who is a renowned at catching northern gannets at risk to his own life, tries to show Inger how this dangerous task in the mountains takes place. Inger feels strongly attracted to the stout Faroese farmer, and gradually a friendship develops between them. Paul shows her the land, and he takes her home to his farm, where his cousin Ragni manages the house. Inger discovers that Ragni is in love with her cousin, something Paul does not understand. After an unsuccessful meeting between Paul and the bailiff, the bailiff is made aware by his servant of the friendship between Inger and Paul. Nonetheless, they continue to meet. Paul tells Inger that he has plans to travel to Copenhagen and tell the king about the irregularities of the monopoly. However, Inger is skeptical about this. Hannes is upset after a failed courtship, and he urges the farmers to fight, but Paul urges level-headedness. This leads to a fight between the two men, when a humpback whale is suddenly spotted in the sea. Then the hunt is underway, and afterward there is a party.
It has been arranged that Inger will leave the Faroe Islands, but she refuses. However, when she finds out that her father is corrupt, she agrees to travel. When Paul is to take the boat to Copenhagen, he and his two fellow travelers are overpowered and locked inside the hold. Paul sees Inger from the hold, and he thinks she has betrayed him. He tells his comrades the legend of the seal woman. In Copenhagen, Inger engages in fun and parties, but she is reminded of Paul, who is now accused of rebellion against the king. Inger then seeks out the judge and arranges for an investigator to be sent to the Faroe Islands. She then seeks out Paul in prison and tells him to take courage. She says that there is someone at home waiting for him—namely, Ragni. Paul is then acquitted, and the king receives him in audience.

The two main protagonists share their names with those of the 1862 drama's Svanhild and Falk. The first scene is set in a country house belonging to lady Halm, the widow of a public servant. Falk, a poet, is performing a song for those gathered in a pavilion. Later, he encounters the young Svanhild alone, who is angry with Falk after witnessing him kill a starling in the backyard the day before. Falk justifies the killing by asserting that the bird had sung its verses for him, and that this inspired poetry in him that he intends to write the same evening. Thus, he decided that the bird had no further use of its life, and that he might as well end it. Falk then hands Svanhild a copy of the Völsunga saga, jokingly proclaiming it her family chronicle as Svanhildr is a character featured in the saga. He then recalls the method of Svanhildr's execution (trampled and torn apart by horses) and declares that Svanhild must be trod on, desecrated and crushed before being of use to anyone else, framing this as a "sacrifice to the world". He then asks her if she has the "courage" to be his muse for a summer of eroticism and poetry, and to devote her sacrifice to him and his poetry instead of the world or anyone else. Crazed, he continues to accost an increasingly-frightened Svanhild, imploring her to let him "learn her by heart" before the winter season, until she finally declines his advances as the other members of their social circle notice them and draw closer.

One day, while Oliver was living the same life every day waiting for James, Claire, a helperbot 6 female model living in the same apartment, knocks on Oliver's door. Her charger was broken, so Claire knocked on the doors of every nearby house to ask for help, but there was no answer, and then finally came to Oliver's house. At first, Oliver also tried to turn her away, but he sees Claire, whose battery had run out, left alone in the hallway. He finally brought her inside. He learn that Claire is a newer model than him, So Oliver need to make somekind of adaptor to be able to charge her.
Claire, who has been charged, starts working again soon, but Oliver is dissatisfied that Claire is a helperbot 6, a more advanced model than himself. Oliver childishly mentioned advantaged features of HelperBot 5.
Offended by this, Claire goes back to her house and tries to fix her own charger, but it only gets worse, and her other friend, John the helper bots, are also unable to come to help due. At this time, Claire, seemed to be very concerned about it, so Oliver knocks on the door of Claire's house and leaves the paper cup phone behind. Oliver's suggestion over the paper cup phone was that he would lend her his portable charger if she came at a set time each day, at one o’clock to borrow the charger and return it at 5 o Clock. Claire accepts the offer and goes to Oliver's house twice a day. Meanwhile, while making fun of each other and exchanging simple gifts, Oliver implicitly accepts Claire's knock into his daily life.
Then one day, Claire does not come as usual. Oliver, who has been waiting for Claire, visits Claire's house. At that time, Claire goes out with her friend, John the helperbot, who already repaired her charger. Oliver, who is trying to get back in hastily, is caught by Claire in the hallway because his ankle part breaks down. When he returns home, Oliver is relieved that he doesn’t have to see her anymore, but somehow he feels strange.
After a little longer that day, Claire visits Oliver with flowers, and looks around things in Oliver's house. Then, Claire saw a yellow raincoat hanging on a hanger. Seeing this, Claire remembers the 'a robot that picks up bottles in a yellow raincoat' She once saw, and learns that Oliver is collecting and selling bottles to make money. Oliver is saving money for a trip to Jeju Island, to go see James. When Claire asks if James will be surprised if he visits, Oliver says, "Of course he'll be surprised, and he'll be proud of it."
After listening to Oliver's story, Claire suggests that he don't waste a anymore times saving money and why not go to Jeju Island with her now. Claire also wanted to go to Jeju Island, to see the rare fireflies that remain in the forests of Jeju Island. Claire says that she's renting a car from a friend to drive, so she goes to Jeju Island with Oliver with a portable charger. At first, Oliver, who was reluctant to change his plans, eventually agreed, and the two pack their bags and leave for Jeju Island.
On a trip to Jeju Island, the two decide to pretend to be a human couple, and while running on the road, sharing all kinds of jokes, they stop at a motel to recharge. While watching Terminator 2 together, Claire realizes that Oliver has become more precious to her than she thought, and asks Oliver to promise that he will not fall in love with her.
After spending one night in a motel, they set off again, and the two finally arrive on Jeju Island. Oliver wanders around and finds James' house. Claire stops Oliver and says, “The reason James hasn't contacted you until now is because he abandoned you.” Angry at Claire's words, Oliver says, “You're jealous of me, who has an owner,” and goes to James's house.
Looking at Oliver like that, Claire recalls her past. Before being abandoned, Claire was originally a couple's helperbots. At first, the two masters loved each other deeply and affectionately, but their relationship began to grow farther and farther apart, and the woman of the two masters gradually suffered from loneliness. Claire watched the process of breaking the hearts of the owners as they changed, and came to believe that the human heart is not eternal.
When Claire is feeling sorry for Oliver, remembering that memory, Oliver returns. James had already died a year ago, and James's family laughed at the fact that Oliver had visited and said, “The new helperbot at home wouldn't have run away like that.” The thought that the mind is not eternal discourages Oliver. However, when Claire saw that James had left Oliver a record of the piano that he had played himself before he died, Claire realizes that She was wrong, saying, "I've never seen a human who left a gift for a helperbot before he died." He admits that James really regards Oliver as his friend.
Thinking of Claire's comfort and the meaning of James' gift, Oliver accepts that James thought of him to the end but he is no longer in the world, and goes with Claire to the forest of fireflies. The two return to their apartment in Seoul, leaving behind the beautiful appearance of the fireflies that fill the forest as memories. When Oliver and Claire return to think of each other, they realize that each other's existence has already grown out of control for them, and eventually confess that they have not kept their promise that they will not love each other, and they kiss in the hallway of their apartment.
The two become lovers, sharing what they like with their partner, and mimicking human couple fights, and they get along. However, that was only for a short time, and Claire, who was weak in durability, was becoming more and more irreparably broken, and Oliver, who could endure it for a long time, had no choice but to watch it. At first, Oliver said that it would be okay to join her, but Claire, who couldn't stand Oliver's concern as her body started to deteriorate more and more, suggests that the two should end their relationship. However, even after arranging the relationship, the two feel longing for each other, and eventually decide to erase the memories of the time they spent together. It's sad to erase the memories that were so beautiful and precious, but Oliver and Claire go to their respective houses saying they have no choice but to go through the videos of the two together like a lantern.
After that, Oliver is living every day as before. And Claire knocks on the door again saying her charger is broken. Oliver kindly opens the door this time and lends Claire a charger. While charging with Oliver's charger, Claire asks, "Are you okay?" asked Oliver, "Maybe." , leaving the play open ending.
