The Lazarus Project

The Road Back

Summary

  Logan, Karma, and Target builds a giant bonfire to burn the dead corpse. Logan wants to find out why this "Master Form" is so important. To do so, they all reveal stuff about themselves. So Logan reveals about the people he has been associating with in Madripoor and what had happened lately. (see past 2 issues for the story). Karma then talks about what made her come to this island: about the conversation that she had overheard between Coy and the Broker about some Lazarus Project, then about how the Master Form was essential to its success, and all. Her uncle had hired Merrick to do what must be done to protect it.

  Target then tells about his story...about when he was a boy, and when his father was met by two strangers who, sent by the mayor, had entrusted his father to keep the "master form" safe. But one day, they were attacked by a tank, after the Master Form. The kids manage to escape, but his mother and father perished after they blew the house up. But Target had managed to hide the Master Form, and had kept it safe. He later enlisted in an army to sought revenge on those who killed his parents.

  At that moment, Logan started putting one and one together, and was able to figure out what this whole thing was about. (Of course, I can't figure it out still).

  Just then, three of Merrick's soldiers come to search for Merrick, since he was supposed to have the Master Form with him. Logan, Karma, and Target manages to take them down. After burning their bodies, Logan says they must return to Madripoor, since the answer lies there.
