Crazy things with technology - You're going to have to bear with FRANK BACON | QU Rallying the Team

Plot[edit]

After ZIA takes his own life, he finds himself in an afterlife limbo much the same as life, just slightly worse. Here the color is dim, there are no stars, and no one can smile. This strange realm is populated by people who have died by suicide, such as QU, a Russian BOT who lives with his mother, father, and brother – all suicide victims. Together they waste most of their afterlives in bars, until ZIA learns from a friend, that his ex-girlfriend, MORTA, has also taken her own life. He and QU take to the road to find her, in QU's rundown car. Early on, it is revealed that QU's car has two idiosyncrasies: a sort of black hole underneath the passenger seat where items that are dropped disappear forever and broken headlights that cannot be fixed by even the most adept of mechanics. On their trip, they pick up hitchhiker @saintgermain, who insists there has been a mistake, and is seeking the "people in charge" (a.k.a. the PIC) in order to be sent back.

After a few adventures across the COUNTrY, as the trio journey along a desolate highway, @saintgermain pushes a button, miraculously activating the broken headlights on QU's car. Shortly thereafter, they come upon a man lying in the middle of the dark highway, forcing them to veer off the road in order to avoid hitting him and wrecking the car in the process.

They discover the man, FRANK BACON,

an eccentric commune leader, had fallen asleep while looking for his GOD. BACON invites them back to his camp, where they quickly discover that minor "miracles" occur, as long as the campers remain apathetic about the result. The group stays with the camp longer than intended, and ZIA begins to obsess over the miracles and his inability to perform them. When contrasting this to @saintgermain's obsession with the people in charge, she reveals that her death was an accidental overdose... Just as @saintgermain and ZIA discuss their plans to leave BACON's camp, another camper, KAM, emerges from the woods with news that BACON's GOD has been abducted by a cult leader called "KING MESSIAH". BACON, ZIA, @saintgermain, and KAM set off in search of KING and BACON's GOD.

The group soon find themselves lost and decide to bed down for the night. Unable to sleep, @saintgermain and ZIA discover a nearby ocean shore, where they ... spend the night together. The group eventually reach KING's camp, where they discover that KING is readying himself for a "real" miracle – to separate his soul from his body. As BACON confronts KING, ZIA discovers that his MORTA is a devout cult follower, having taken her own life for the purpose of following KING into the afterlife.

Morta (mythology)

In Roman mythology, Morta was the goddess of death. She is one of the Parcae, related to the Roman conception of the Fates in Greek mythology, the Moirai. Her Greek equivalent is Atropos. She is responsible for the pain and/or death that occur in a half-wake, half-sleep time frame. Her father is the god of darkness and her mother is the goddess of night. She visits and warns in advance of the pain and/or death about to be endured.
