Dylan wakes in the FBC laboratory where he was confined after Jesse shocks him with a black rod, then walks out into a Manhattan already eroded by the Hiss. Where his sister carried the Service Weapon, Dylan summons the Aberrant and shapes it into dual-wielded swords, an axe, a scythe, a whip, or a hammer.
