Melinda will try to fix the city, and she won’t move to Deliverance right away, but even her best and most valiant efforts won’t be enough to steer this Titanic away from the iceberg. And by the time she and her clout will get to Deliverance, it will also turn into another Titanic, but the one you can’t escape from. I just want you to know that while Blake’s personal story might have a happy ending, this world is doomed regardless. Everything will eventually turn into dust.
As for the way Deliverance is gonna look, the main issue, just like always, is the amount of assets available. But I can promise that it won’t look sterile by the time you’ll get there. You’re right in your assessment that the new city will be controlled by the inept power hungry idiots.
