Dude, I got a little too excited about this and stayed up last night imagining the story. I also had two alternative endings with the potential for the Defector and the Globalist to be two parts of the same person. Mostly it follows exactly what all the lyrics say, with minor action and plot points added, but here goes, if anyone is still around to read this. Dramatis Personae Defector (D): Protagonist Globalist (G): Antagonist, also known as the Handler Ex lover (X): G's lover New love (L): the new hope D finds
