Summary
“For thirty years,” he said, “I’ve sailed the seas, and seen good and bad, better and worse, fair weather and foul, provisions running out, knives going, and what not. Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o’ goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don’t bite; them’s my views—amen, so be it. And now, you look here,” he added, suddenly changing his tone, “we’ve had about enough of this foolery. The tide’s made good enough by now. You just take my orders, Cap’n Hawkins, and we’ll sail slap in and be done with it.”
— Robert Louis Stevenson, Treasure Island (1883)

Summary
Man, we were killin’ time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothing can last forever
Forever, no!
Yeah!And now the times are changin’
Look at everything that’s come and gone
Sometimes, when I play that old six-string
Think about you, wonder what went wrong— Bryan Adams, “Summer of ’69”
Upon returning from home from war, Ewan reflects on his brother’s battle scars.

Summary
The Creed of Neutrality reshaped the world. Alphas wear stabilizer patches. Dominance projection is regulated by law. Omegas exist only in history books, folklore, and classified government custody. Biology, the kind that once moved empires and started wars, is now treated as obsolete.
Logan Roy never believed it. He built Waystar Royco on instinct, hierarchy, and the conviction that Alphas do not apologize for their influence. ATN broadcasts that conviction nightly: Alpha presentation is not a disease, projection is not a crime, and Neutrality is a leash dressed as progress.
He plays by the rules well enough. Shareholders respect him. Governments negotiate with him. And beside him stands his greatest advantage: an heir who reads as acceptable to the Beta world.
Among all his children, Kendall was the one. His favorite, shaped for the role, kept close and positioned at the center. At twenty-six, he is exactly what Waystar needs its future to look like: composed, controlled, charismatic. He walks into rooms full of Alphas and makes them listen. People align with him. Logan’s temper steadies around him. Negotiations land when he is present.
It is only a matter of time before that draws attention.
