SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT
Synopsis
Three years have passed since the destruction of Washington D.C.
News shows recount the history of the Authority: from their days as Earth’s protectors to the team's celebrity phase to their phase of government dictatorship. But the question that lingers in the minds of Americans is simple: What ever happened to the Authority?
The nation’s capital has been rebuilt with a memorial for those who died, and the Washington Monument has been reconstructed. Everything has been rebuilt or is in the final stages of construction, but the Authority is nowhere to be found.
The Authority has disbanded.
Midnighter drowns his sorrows at a bar in Moscow. He then heads out to an alley to bust up a transaction between Russian hoodlums and aliens, who are attempting to acquire a device that obliterates all organic matter within a 10-mile radius.
Midnighter kills the Russian thugs. The aliens declare inter-dimensional immunity – which doesn’t stop Midnighter from killing them, too, and leaving a bloody mess in the snow.
The Engineer and Jack Hawksmoor live alone on the Carrier. The Engineer enjoys life’s bliss by taking the Carrier on a joyride throughout the dimensions. Hawksmoor, still the King of Cities, takes out trivial foes in Tokyo for exercise.
Apollo and Jenny live in San Francisco, and have made an agreement to provide Jenny’s services to the government upon her maturity.
At a monastery in Tibet, Swift recommits herself to pacifism and meditation. She has not given an interview in two years, and protects her privacy at all costs.
One night, Apollo visits Swift, and the pair flies around the peaceful Tibetan skies. Apollo invites Swift to the Doctor’s memorial service to meet with Jenny, but she refuses to be seen in public.
Rumored to have reverted back to his addictive ways after the dissolution of his churches, the Doctor, whose full name was Jeroen Thorndike, reportedly died of a drug overdose. However, a new Doctor has yet to appear on the scene, which is unusual, as a new Doctor typically replaces one that dies.
At the Doctor’s grave, Jenny and Apollo lay flowers. The press hound them for information on the other former members of the Authority. They ask about Midnighter, in particular.
Jenny suddenly disappears. Apparently, her proximity to Jeroen's grave has given her access to the Doctor’s Garden of Ancestral Memory. Jenny meets the First Doctor and asks to speak to Jeroen. But Jeroen is not in the Garden, which could mean that he's not dead.
Jenny frantically returns to the Doctor’s gravesite to stand at Apollo’s side.
