Beacon 23 - Season 1, Episode 8 - Adamantine

And season 1 ends... of course on a cliffhanger! This show opens with a nice action sequence, a dog fight scene of sorts that eliminates all the QSA cutters as a threat. The show goes on to build up the idea that Aster is a messiah and that she is to receive a message from the Anomaly, as prophesized by the Column. Keir greatly desires to be t...
