The Hacker Monarchs
PrevNode LinkNextAthena: OK, next card. Hmmm… that’s funny - it’s a card that’s indicative of something above and beyond the previous cards. But not divine… I wonder what it could be…
Josefus: Above and beyond but not divine… above and beyond… oh my… there are many Alpha/Beta/Gamma↔Omega males and females - each in their own society and sub-society. But there is one person, or maybe a selected few above them… the Master Philosopher! The Hacker King!
Josefus: Moses, Cyrus the Great, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle - they were all the Master philosophers. But who is he now? Who the hell is he?
Josefus: Who the hell is… the Qoheleth?
Selena: Is it you?
Josefus: Me? The scroll, it is nothing… I was just faking it… I cannot be the hacker king.
Athena: You could not be… the scroll was written in past tense. And I think you were… were the hacker king!
Josefus: So you're saying that in the scroll I distilled my wisdom, and it became my Magnus opus as the hacker king and I officially stepped down? But who is the new Qoheleth now? I must find out.
Selena: …Fuck that!!
Josefus: I beg your pardon?
Selena: Do you really think you've lost it?
Josefus: You mean… I'm still a hacker king? A messiah?
Josefus: Wow!
Selena: And tell you what: Athena, Alexis, and I are in it too.
Josefus: Welcome to the club.
Athena: heh, we multiply.
