A Fragile Mind Spinoff #2 - Breakroom 11SO1EP03
Timeline: 2038In AFM Universe: Runs parallel to AFMS1 EP07, as well as AFMS2 EPs 01, 04, 07, and 10.With massive corporations running the country in this post-2nd-Civil War era, a lot can happen in the breakroom. Gossip, paranoia, intriguing developments. While this story runs akin to the mainline story, the roots of this story are buried primarily in Season One of AFMS. Using the backstory of the CAROL who goes by Carol, but is really Nichole, we learned that there was an uprising that takes place at some point between 2038 and 2040 (present day for AFMS). This might be a glimpse into how that all begins. If you're into the AFMS lore though, let's see which story line this will eventually connect with.
