Et Cetera #6

In "Who Are You?!", Master Alternate finally uncovers the truth behind his father’s murder, while Blush realizes Mingchao and her friends are on the ship, setting off a chain of quiet, determined moves as Cavanaugh begins to shape her own plans for Mingchao and Fino.

In "Broken Balance," Mingchao finds herself trapped in the shadow of Blush and Baskerville, two figures whose twisted alliance hinges on a sacred symbol branded into Baskerville’s hand—the key to wielding the mysterious Eto Gun. As the frontier’s fragile order unravels, Mingchao uncovers the dark truth behind their power, where control is maintained through drugs and ritual, and the line between protector and predator blurs.

In the satirical western frontier of *Et Cetera #6*, Cavanaugh and Futura pull a fast one on Mingchao and Yaghi, stealing the Eto Guns and making a break for it with Baskerville in tow. When Mingchao tries to stop them, Cavanaugh forces a brutal choice—Baskerville must decide whether to shoot her or let the heist succeed.

In a satirical take on the Western frontier, Baskerville’s past unfolds in a flashback that reveals the real reason he once served The Syndicate—his desperate bid to save his terminally ill sister. When the Syndicate abandoned him, he walked away, but the weight of that betrayal still shapes his choices in the present.
