Dax’s defect was discovered! In the aftermath of 216894’s attack, Dax found herself in a situation where she had no choice but to reveal her secret in order to clear her name. The consequences of which included broken trust with Leslie, getting fired from her post in the military, and a relapse into her long-forgotten soot addiction.
But, amidst all this turmoil, Dax had a chance to reconnect with Simone, a former byte she had known in the System and had assumed she would never see again.
With time, the relationship between Dax and Leslie mended. And Dax came to view the System in a new light. She decided to join the Strokes in order to bring down the System once and for all.
But the System isn’t the only source of danger for Dax. One night, on her way home, she was attacked by an Outcast – and nearly killed – simply for being from the System. While her attacker was arrested quickly, there remains the mystery of where he got his extreme ideas from.
Now, still in recovery, Dax has a new job lined up and is at the beginning of a romantic relationship with Leslie. Maybe this year will be a quiet one.
