For those of you who are unfamiliar with Anthem by Ayn Rand, the post-utopian story starts off with first person completely eliminated from language, and as time goes, “I” starts to be developed again.  I found this interesting, but much like Percy’s speech, I felt that it is importnat to not discount the efforts of the group as a whole.  Hence, the basis of this arc and the twist I added today.

Also, aging is fun!  Can’t really see much with Nikki or Jorocks, but you can tell Sally dyes her hair and poor Chris is balding.  Percy hasn’t really grayed that severely yet, but he’s using the transformative formulas to appear like Santa (although he apparently dislikes being fat).  Matt seems to have acquired some way to resist time, much like his namesake’s species…
