Synopsis for "The Eleven-Thirty Absolution"
Eddie Jacobi's benefactor, Adrian "Ozymandias" Veidt, emotionally and intellectually manipulates the newly repentant Moloch, and hires him for a peculiar task, proofreading complex mathematical equations. Over the next few weeks, he finds several important errors. One day Ozymandias sets up Moloch to deliver a package to Janey Slater, which turns out to be specially-treated medical cigarettes.
Over the next few months, both Janey and Edgar develop advanced cases of cancer. And the Comedian pays Eddie a visit, then soon afterward gets thrown out of a high window. And Rorschach pays Edgar a visit. And Adrian Veidt pays Jacobi a visit, and explains his real plan to him. To Moloch, this plan makes sense, and is a thing of beauty. Then Veidt shoots Jacobi in the forehead and leaves.
