Editing Snowpiercer (section)

=== [[Pirate Train|Pirate Train]] ===
The Pirate Train returned to the research station for Melanie, but Layton and Alex only found her drives containing Melanie's data and a letter explaining that Melanie had sacrificed the last of her power to protect the drives and their vital data while she walked out into the Freeze to die after running out of resources. Melanie's data revealed several warm areas around the globe and Layton ordered his new crew to go and get their people back.

Over the next six months, Layton and his crew searched for a habitable location without success, eventually finding a survivor, [[Asha]], in a power plant in North Korea. Sykes became a member of the crew, claiming that she was simply doing her part as a prisoner of war, but showing a possible wavering loyalty to Wilford. It's also revealed that [[Martin Colvin]] had become an accidental stowaway on the Pirate Train. During this time, ''Big Alice'' and ''Snowpiercer'' became a "rolling gulag" under Wilford's rule, with First Class decommissioned for the time being and everyone forced to work. Due to ''Big Alice'' powering the two trains alone, the passengers were forced to live in freezing temperatures with low power. However, Wilford chose not to go through with a culling due to Layton having Miss Audrey as a hostage. In Layton's absence, a secret resistance against Wilford continued to operate, now under the leadership of Ruth Wardell who foiled a plot by Wilford to use an EMP weapon to disable the Pirate Train upon its return.

After detecting the detonation of the EMP weapon, the Pirate Train returned and lured Wilford's train into a game of cat and mouse in a railyard where the maze of tracks gave the smaller and nimbler Pirate Train the advantage. However, Wilford managed to damage the Pirate Train with a harpoon, forcing Alex and Bennett to disconnect the last four cars in order to prevent a derailment while Kevin captured several revolutionaries and tortured [[Strong Boy]] in the Night Car. After Wilford managed to avoid detection by going dark, an imprisoned Ruth had Pike set off ''Snowpiercer's'' fireworks from Hospitality as a signal, causing Wilford to make a run for it. However, ''Big Alice'' lacked the power to get out and was cut off by the Pirate Train and brought to a stop. After a failed attempt to negotiate Wilford's surrender, Wilford cut power to his train and threatened to let everyone freeze if they didn't reconnect. Bennett agreed and Wilford dispatched a Jackboot boarding party to retake the Pirate Train. However, Layton and Josie snuck off of the Pirate Train during the negotiations while Wilford was distracted with Miss Audrey and Bennett discreetly signaled Javi who secretly opened an airlock in ''Big Alice's'' Engine. As the Pirate Train came around from the other direction to reconnect, Josie created a distraction by pretending to breach ''Big Alice's'' Engine, giving Layton the chance to sneak aboard and overpower Wilford. Layton forced Wilford to call off the boarding party and publicly surrender the train to him. With both trains now under Layton's control, the Pirate Train reconnected, restoring full power to ''Big Alice'' and ''Snowpiercer''. With Kevin having tortured Strong Boy to death, [[LJ Folger]] killed him for his crime so that she and Oz would be seen as being on the right side of the revolution in history.
