"Wait, like a deformity?" I asked, already knowing the answer.
"No, like a fucking urban legend, Thomas! But of course it was gone by the time anyone could verify one way or another," He said this in a tightly controlled hiss.
I took a drink, he gave me a refill. "Yeah... So then we were convinced *it* --” Here, he gestured vaguely at the air. “Found a way to broadcast wirelessly.

Buzzing fluorescent lights clicked on as Phil led me into the neighboring room. Dominating the room was a massive mesh cage. All manner of electrical and monitoring equipment was plugged into the apparatus. "It's a --"

"You always were a damn nerd," he said. I wanted to tell him that he was, too. But I suddenly realized I didn't know the man standing before me. Not really... not anymore.
"But yeah, that's essentially right. Old Lundquist added a bunch of doodads to see if he could decipher the means of the hallucinations. Or, what we thought was, anyway."

Prodigal: Jesus Christ.
Stroud: I just saw them charge through the front door and then out the back like it was nuthin'.
Prodigal: No, no, you have to be wrong. How could something --
Stroud: I don't know, Thomas. Maybe if a rogue AI that's crazier than a shithouse rat gets a holda' the entire world's top secret research and data... maybe it might just get up to some mischief!
Prodigal: We don't know that's what happened...
Stroud: I do. Now get in the cage.
