Long Night: I’ve moonlighted for years now with a woman who belongs to
the Long Night. She’s mad as hell, runs on high-octane fear of some end-of-
the-world scenario I couldn’t hope to understand. You know what, though?
I don’t think I’d ever have anyone else on my side in a tight spot.
Network Zero: So one of the good people who moderate the message board
has a friend who’s involved with Network Zero. The Internet video station.
The one with all the YouTube videos that everyone thinks are special
effects. So anyway, she was telling us about the time when her buddies
hooked up with the Network Zero guy for a fi ght and she told him to come
armed. He brought a baseball bat and a handicam. Nothing else.
Malleus Malefi carum: A couple of times now, I’ve run into this priest who
seems to be doing the same kind of thing as me. Only with, you know, papal
sanction. I was brought up a good Catholic and everything, but you know,
this guy scares me. He knew things. You can see it in his eyes. I think
it must have driven him a little nuts. If you’d only seen what he did to
that demon-thing. It was...biblical.
Task Force: VALKYRIE: Yeah, the government knows about all this. But
ask yourself, do they ever actually do anything for the people? You hear
rumors of this top-secret monster-hunting squad, but what are they there
for? Sure, they kill the monsters, or take them away in their black
helicopters and do horrible things to them in some kind of monster-Gitmo,
but do they care about protecting us? No. That’s our job.
