Comment(s):

The voting at the end of this story is the same as the one shown in issue #47. That scene had a speech by Solomon which is not present here so it must have taken place just before the voting started.
It is stated that their attempt to send Forerunner to solve their problems but that she has abandoned them to side with Monarch. This must be considered a mistake as this has not yet happened by the time of issue #47.
Story continued from the previous issue and is continued in the next issue.
