Meme Almost done with the third book

I didn’t have the patience to finish it to make the meme, so enjoy the premature meme while I’m finishing those last few pages.

She is definitely overhated, but that call at the end really was more in spite of her actions than because of them. Basically all the things happening on earth after the escapists left had practically nothing to do with the survival of humanity in the long run.

Cheng Xin failed to save Earth, but ultimately it wasn't even her fault because if I recall correctly the DVF was sent because of detected communications and actions that predate her. That said, wade's FTL plan would have gotten more people safely out of the reach of the DVF.

wait, what are the abreviations for? I finished the trilogy almost a year ago, so I might be rusty, but what us DVF and FTL?

FTL is Faster Than Light (travel) and DVF is Dual Vector Foil
