Lincoln stood in the middle of the newest black mark that had come to decorate the earth since Skaikru fell. Lincoln had seen Raven leave plenty of her own design when she decided to work with explosives. So far, he had found 4 bodies, or rather charred blackened bones of what was left. Only those not directly next to the bomber still had bones, everything else was just ash.

'The Bomber' Lincoln thought bitterly, this was someone who they had shared their lives with. It was such a detached name for someone who used to be a friend. So far, the only information they had was that Pike had gathered a group of people to discuss the upcoming election for the new Chancellor.

"Have you found anything concrete Lincoln?" Kane asked from his spot at the blast site. Lincoln could only shake his head and walked over to stand next to Kane. Pulling out a small piece of bloodied cloth and opening it up to reveal a charred but dismembered hand. The skin tone matched Pike but it also still had a ring on the finger that had been in Pike's family since before Unity Day.

"This was the biggest piece I could find amongst them all." He said quietly. Watching as a rainbow appeared in the sky. Even here in the place of death, beauty was still trying to wiggle it's way into the world.

"Yea, this was Pike's alright. I recognize the insignia of the ring." Looking at Lincoln, he pointed to the hand. "What could he have been doing all the way out here? From the talk of the camp, he had a very good shot at becoming Chancellor. This almost seems like an attack at Pike directly, but aside from Azgeda who else would have this much of problem with Pike." Lincoln had no answers for any of his questions.

When Kane and Lincoln made it back to Arkadia, Lincoln let him deal with telling the populace what had befallen the former teacher turned potential Chancellor. Heading towards the Medical Center with what was left of Pike, Lincoln would get this over and done with and then go and train to get his mind off of Octavia. Opening the doors, he found Jackson, who appeared to be in the middle of giving an exam to Jaha.

Hearing the door open, Jackson looked up and noticed Lincoln come in. Speaking quietly to Jaha for a moment, he made his way to the grounder turned Arkadian.

"How can I help you Lincoln?" Jackson was polite and to the point. While he wasn't friends with Lincoln, they were acquaintances who lived in the same place. Lincoln quickly handed him the small bloodied parcel.

"Kane told me to give this to you so Abby can do whatever tests she needs to before we bury the rest of Pike here." Jackson just nodded and accepted the parcel and asked if Lincoln needed anything else. When he had left Jaha came over to Jackson and took the parcel.

Closing their eyes they appeared in the City of Lights, looking over at A.L.I.E. and Jasper who appeared to be in the middle of a conversation.

"We may have just the thing to convince Polis to leave us alone for a long while. With Pike dead, we can finish Stage 1 quietly before moving onto Stage 2." Jaha said to A.L.I.E. before turning to Jackson "Bring this up to Abby, if she thinks it is her idea, we can get everything on track. And Jasper, what you did for us all will be remembered."

Later that night, Abby and Kane found Jaha sitting quietly in a secluded place with a few others who had taken the chip. They were just sitting there in silence, meditating. Kane cleared his throat and almost had to shake Jaha to get him to respond to them.

"Congratulations Chancellor." Marcus Kane could not have sounded any more disinterested that this man who had been gone, taken people away and got them killed was their new Chancellor. He didn't realize how much people would prefer to deal with what was familiar to them and likely end up dead, than try to bridge the gap with the grounders. He simply handed the pin to Jaha and walked away with Abby, who gave Jaha a simple nod, before following Kane.

"He is going to start pushing for more people to take the chip and we still have no idea what it does. The chip is exactly what could have pushed Jasper to commit suicide. Jaha could be infinitely worse than Pike." Abby said quietly to Kane once they reached her quarters. Who knew how many followers Jaha had and who could be listening to everything they said. If you had asked her a year ago if she would have never felt safe with Marcus Kane alone in a room, she would have told you that she would rather be floated then spend one minute alone with him.

The relationship that had developed between the two was still small and fragile. Anything from either party would probably get rid of whatever they had. For now, she was simply ok with just being held by him. She had forgotten what it was like to be held by another who cared about her. Arkadia was still finding out more about itself on the ground, where things could be a little more relaxed when it came to the law, and it gave them all time to take a deep breath and find out more about themselves.

"Jaha's first order as Chancellor was to send a messenger to the Coalition with Pike's hand as proof that Skaikru could take care of their own 'undesirables' as he put it. You're right," Kane said to Abby " We don't know what Jaha will do now that he has been re-elected. We need to get everyone who isn't on board with this and figure out what the hell is going on?"
