Special Investigator: I appreciate you coming to me, I just couldn’t get
away from the office today. It’s a madhouse. Unrelated.
Fugitive Agent: That’s all right, I don’t mind. Is this about my current
case?
Special Investigator: It’s about one of the escapees. We don’t care about
the others.
Fugitive Agent: Let me guess, it’s this mysterious so-called parole officer
that no one knows anything about.
Special Investigator: We are very interested in who he is, and how he got
here.
Fugitive Agent: Does the Office of Special Investigations think that he’s
some kind of major threat to national security?
Special Investigator: Perhaps, perhaps not. I’m going to show you something
that pertains specifically to your case, and then I’m going to show you
something that may have nothing to do with it, or it may mean everything.
Fugitive Agent: Okay, go ahead.
Special Investigator: Watch both monitors closely. This camera is showing
the lobby of the hotel. This other one is showing the exterior. Wait for
it... Wait for it...there.
Fugitive Agent: Hm. That’s weird. Are you sure these are synced up
correctly?
Special Investigator: Absolutely certain. Your man walks out of the hotel
without ever actually being in the hotel. He appears out of nowhere, and it
doesn’t seem to faze him one bit. To him this is normal.
Fugitive Agent: No, there has to be a logical explanation. A glitch, erased
footage...
Special Investigator: That what I would guess if I were in your shoes, but
then again, I haven’t shown you the other footage yet.
Fugitive Agent: Can I see this one one more time?
Special Investigator: Certainly.
Fugitive Agent: [...] Wow, that looks so real. The door doesn’t open from
the inside. It really looks like it’s just two different scenes spliced
together.
Special Investigator: It’s not. Look at that newspaper blowing in the wind
on the sidewalk. You can see it on both cameras.
Fugitive Agent: You’re right. I don’t understand it.
Special Investigator: Then you definitely won’t understand this.
Fugitive Agent: *peering at the screen* What the hell is that thing?
Special Investigator: We’re still figuring that out.
Fugitive Agent: It looks like a giant...dragonfly, or maybe a cicada.
Special Investigator: It won’t speak, but it clearly understands English. It
reacts predictably to verbal threats. It showed up six months ago. We’ve
been studying it.
Fugitive Agent: Fascinating, but forgive me, what does it have to do with my
guy?
Special Investigator: This...thing showed up on camera too. A meteorologist
happened to be doing some kind of weather research nearby at the time of its
arrival. It presented very unusual readings, so we’ve been secretly
installing sensors all over the country, including near enough where the
parole officer showed up.
Fugitive Agent: He set off the sensors, didn’t he? What do you want me to
do?
Special Investigator: We want you to do what you were doing. Find him. For
us.
