Dr. Winchester Faction was in the morgue finishing his official report. He held a small recording device as he got to the last two bodies.
“Fatality number seventeen,” he said, “Dr. Vandis Bane, forty eight years old. Cause of death was asphyxiation due to strangulation. Evidence confirms that she was killed by Pilot Raddy Volcane.”
He pressed a button and the table with the body on it slid into the wall and the door closed.
“Fatality number eighteen, Pilot Raddy Volcane, twenty five years old. Cause of death was a single stab wound that pierced his aorta. I feel I should add to the record that I have treated no less than six women who were sexually assaulted by Raddy Volcane.”
Dr. Faction put the last body away. Then he turned the recording device back on and said, “I have seen no shortage of evil in my life. I have lived through war and seen people do truly horrific things to each other. But this… They went into people’s minds. These people were not driven to this by… They reached into their minds and brought out the worst in us. There are now twenty six people in this morgue. Eight of them were killed by the enemy. The rest… How are we going to explain this? How are we going to tell their families that they did not die on a battlefield? That they were killed by people they knew, people they had worked with everyday for months. These creatures they… They turned us against each other in the most unnatural way possible. This is beyond any…”
He could not find the words.
