reach Antarctica, and flee to the ruins. Once inside, the tunnel collapses, burying them alive. Ripclaw, weakened by the virus, is killed by the captain of the ship. Carin kills the captain and buries Ripclaw in a shallow grave, resigning herself to die. Carin then undergoes a transformation in the ruins of the alien ship which removes the tattoo scar from over her eye and gives her a different, older look. The previously established relationship between herself and Ripclaw is tentatively explored during the first story arc, where the two are seen holding hands and embracing one another.
