So I got to speak to everyone. Well, everyone important.
The Director, Agent Lin Noble (head of this facility), they even got the big-wigs from the main branch on the video screen. Stereotypical black screens with disembodied voices. I called them out on it. How are we supposed to know The Whispers aren’t interfering if we can’t see them talk?
Bunch of old, white dudes. This organization is a walking cliche.
I gave them a condensed version of what The Water told me. I could make it so the Fears had never existed. Even now there were three Fears missing from their records. Three god-like creatures that I’d made disappear. Of course they didn’t believe me.
I told Mr. Smith that The Hound had injured our dead suits. He didn’t remember. Exactly.
Apparently I’m bad at logic. But they finally gave in. I neglected to mention the Fear-power part and the possible-end-world-scenario part.
We’re going back to testing. Exposing me to the Fears. Hoping they’ll come after me now that they know what I am. They don’t want this world to end. They have a foothold here. That’s why The City let us out (we think) it didn’t want the world to cease-to-be while we were running around it hunting Fears.
One of the big-wigs wants to know why The City didn’t just kill me.
The Hound tried that. “What’s the Hound?” Exactly.
