After the Gold Rush

The first verse inspired InfoPol’s raid on the Institute “I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming (InfoPol), saying something about a queen (Miranda).”

In the second verse I see Penylle’s reaction to being told about Marc’s treachery. “I was thinking about what a friend had said, hoping it was a lie.”

The third verse, of course, is the source for Jack/Marc’s mercy dream at the end of the book. I think this is probably the root of the entire “migration to Mars” theme.
