Comment:
This is the third and final disc of an epic cyberpunk-roadtrip-apocalyptic-tarantino-gunfest-"freedom-loving peoples versus Microsoft"-romantic-sci-fi-action mix I put together for a friend. Basic story outline follows below.Act Three
[Beginning on a bus heading to Atlanta, and otherwise taking place in Massachusetts.]
In which they reunite and arrive in Massachusetts, only to find it in flames. They are ambushed and taken to Gates.
Ignoring Gates' maniachal ego ravings, Pizza Guy looks deep into the eyes of the woman from the FCC. A wordless signal passes between them, and they synchronize their actions in one of those mass melee things you always see where the heros break their bonds and kill all the heavily armed guys around them. But the FCC agent is incapacitated by one of Gates' lieutenants, who carries her with them as they flee through the secret complex, with Pizza Guy in hot pursuit.
Finally he corners them and dispatches Gates. His partner, revived, sends a signal to deactivate the machines, after which they enjoy a tender moment atop one of Gates' now deactivated massive radio dishes. Then they go to Georgia, where the FCC woman has a nice little house way out in the country.
Packaging:
All three discs are packaged in a gatefold jacket built of cardstock disc mailers and wrapped in the artwork below. The images below are the exterior cover and the art pages of the disc three booklet, which also contains a pair of onionskin pages on which the storyline and tracklist are printed.
