Episode Notes

Content Warning for graphic violence and body horror

It seems useless at this point to be asking why? And they’re not even good investigative questions either.

Why do the Errols want to control Tarandaur? Spare me the greater good rhetoric, you’ve proven you’d just as soon control mindless sheep than lead people to prosperity. Endless food supply? Finally a chance at freedom, for your chosen handful?

Why did Hans and Nico want to become vampires? What reward was worth so great a risk? Why subject yourself to such a miserable way of life simply because you eke out the slightest advantage against the common man?

It’s a foolish and childish question. I can’t say I inherently believe in the good of any one individual as a general sense; I’ve been a hunter and an investigator long enough to know that people will do awful, petty things for their own advancement, even if it only earns them inches. It isn’t like the adventure serials where the bad guy always gets their comeuppance.

Why is this the future that the Errols want to promote? Why do I feel like none of them have an ounce of common sense, because all they have created is a breeding ground for dissent.
