- ↑ “If they didn’t have any powers at all, I’d be scared of them,” Angel said. “They’re into bioweapons. Their mindset is to poison everyone, and have their guys recover faster. They use healing powers and equipment to reduce the damage to their side.” - Excerpt from Eclipse x.4
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 The Four. Two men and two women with white clothes trimmed in black. Their clothes had odd cuts, like a shirt that cut from the left hip to the right shoulder, where it became a collar so wide and draping it was almost a cape, folding over one shoulder. Their masks were horizontal white bars at the eyebrow, across their eyeline, and across the cheekbones. One of the men was displaying his power, holding onto a weapon that had the general shape of a rifle, if the pieces were formed of bits from a coral reef. The barrel was flexible and floppy. The entire thing was covered in brightly colored pustules, with the densest concentration hiding his hands. A woman had similar pustules across the side of her face, neck, and ear. - Excerpt from Eclipse x.2
- ↑ Detente nodded. “Four?”
“What do you think about Orchard?”
“We have a tenuous business relationship with them. Nothing that can’t be broken.”
“Break it. Give us Hyde Park.”
“Yes. We’ll talk,” Detente said. “Brothers?” - Excerpt from Eclipse x.3 - ↑ J spoke up, “They’re weirdly popular, I think it’s the style. There are galleries of art online with them surrounded by their colorful plague clouds.” - Excerpt from Eclipse x.4
