    Summary

    Maybe Ash has got the wrong words, and instead, it’s a reconstruction. An exorcism; a revelation. A feeling like this has to be a bulwark against some kind of looming darkness. That’s how it always works, right?

    Or maybe, he thinks, pulling back to see the seductive, bright yellow glow in Northmoor’s eyes, this is the darkness.

    Either way, Ash doesn’t care.

    Summary

    “But based on your case history, and what Dr. Pope’s been telling me, you can communicate with paranatural entities and paranaturally affected people through her. It’s why you could hear the incantation in your head much stronger than you could hear it through your ears, and it’s probably why you could find Dylan through the Hiss’ interference. It’s not impossible to think that this is just some expansion of that.”

    “But this does make me think, Rashida.” Emily says. “If Polaris can sense residual paranatural energies, and ‘look back in time’ after a paranatural event, this could be useful to the Bureau! Let’s suppose we have an accident with an Altered Item, or – or something goes wrong during an extradimensional expedition and our agents can’t tell us what happened. Polaris could.

    Summary

    Northmoor, of course, he simply tries not to dedicate more neuronal activity to than he needs to. After ten years, interacting with him is just a necessary problem. Like…going to the dentist. Or, on a bad day, like getting a flat tire. inconvenience, indifference, intolerance, animosity, whatever – they’re all the same to Ash, and he’s learned to not spend too much time analyzing any of it. He and the Director coexist - that’s all, and that’s fine.

    Summary

    He was walking in an underground cistern, emptied of water so it was left as a forest of concrete pillars. He knew he’d seen this before, but couldn’t remember where. The lingering puddles seeped into his shoes, made his socks squish uncomfortably with every step, and somehow he knew that walking was pointless. Every direction was the same.


    (You’ve already taken the path away from home.)

    Zachariah Trench, haunted by dreams and his own choices, tries to find a way to save his daughter. There are things that cannot be changed, whether by paranatural forces or the simple fact of who people are.

    But maybe something can.
