A tracking board, like one used by officials who are hunting down fugitives, features a collage of pictures on top of a map of New England.  Headshots of a nonbinary pilot and a woman are on the top of the board, with another picture of them kissing on the bottom right.  The board also shows a golden, old-fashioned plane that they used to escape.  There is a picture of a microchip off to one side that shows the woman fighting a government agent, and a picture on the other side that is marked "top secret."  In the center of the board is a gif of the woman holding a gun and pointing it at the viewer.  She smirks and says “it’s good to see you, too.”  The following message is scrawled across a scrap of paper at the top of the board: “in a game of mind-control, love and choice are always a memory apart.”
