“That’s vague,” Faultline spoke.

Might want to expand on what you mean by “everyone”, Coil.

“I’ll be more specific.  Should Jack Slash not die before he leaves Brockton Bay, it is very likely the world will end in a matter of years,” Coil spoke.

That’s better, thank you. 🙂

“Bullshit,” Skidmark answered.  The others were showing varying reactions.  I doubt many bought it.

Yeah, not the most believable story without the context of Dinah’s power. Maybe Coil will have to talk about that too, but that would be giving away part of the secret to his success and making himself a target for people interested in taking this “source” for themselves.

“You contacted us to say something very similar a couple of days ago.” Miss Militia said, “But I have the same questions now that I did then.  Do you have sources?  Can you verify this?  Or provide more information?”

Oh, so he has been trying to get this information out there. That’s good.

Behind her, Weld reached into his pocket and withdrew his smartphone.

“More information?  Yes.  I have sought further details and pieced together a general picture of things.

Heh, is Weld looking for something relevant on his phone or is he just kind of bored?

Honestly, I would’ve expected that from Alec long before Weld, so I’m leaning towards the former.

Also, sounds like Coil has been probing, asking Dinah for further details. Before her Interlude, of course.

Jack Slash is the catalyst for this event, not the cause.  At some point in the coming years, Jack Slash kills, talks to, meets or influences someone.

I see. But it’s something that’s pretty much constant as long as he makes it out of Brockton Bay.

This causes a chain of events to occur, leading to the deaths of anywhere from thirty-three to ninety-six percent of the world’s population.”

I think I’ve mentioned this before, but I’m pretty sure Jack would be thrilled to hear this.
