Named the second-best place to live in the United States, this rich neighborhood lies across Pudget Sound from Seattle. Bainbridge is a wealthy bedroom community for downtown Seattle. Commuting to downtown Seattle from Bainbridge is by ferry.

For most people in Seattle, it’s off the radar. People go if they have family or friends there, and otherwise they just don’t think about it.

That’s probably how the God-Machine likes it.

Under the thumb of a very trusting God-Machine cult and angel, the whole community is one big project whose purpose remains unclear.
