Six Years Later:
Operation Reset is starting in 29 hours. Actinium has started killing people who are hurting the planet, from CEOs to those of below-average rank. It has taken six years, but the world is again on board with the operation. Actinium appears as a holo and reveals for all these years he had had a back up of his memories. He tells her that she'll fail as he has created bots that will prevent hers from waking Kasey up. Before leaving, he says they’ll see who is successful in 1000 years. Kasey chooses not to reveal Actinium’s bots and take the gamble.
I don't know about you, but I love an open ending! What a fantastic read!
