The finale of the trilogy. The science is settled, the road is under guns, and the hulls carrying the last families of dying worlds are waiting behind licensed freight and "essential" traffic. Locke's command exists at the pleasure of whoever holds the corridor. Wells watches honest procedure turn into a way of deciding whose lives can wait.
It's the angriest of the three and the one where every lawful choice and every human choice point in different directions.

- The rationing of the road. Did the logic of it hold up for you, even where you hated it?
- Sethi keeping the names. Small thread, deliberately. Did it land?
- Does the ending feel like a trilogy ending, or like a door into the rest of the universe? (It's meant to be both, but I'm not the judge.)
