    Summary

    (the whole world goes blind)

    Gertrude Robinson made a very poor Archivist. On the other hand, she was an excellent harbinger of the End.
    This is both fortunate and terribly unfortunate for Jonathan Sims.

    Or;

    Gertrude has to continue her fight against Jonah Magnus via a neurotic and frustratingly skeptical man who doesn’t seem to understand the meaning of pragmatism. Specifically, she has to do this without immediate plans of sacrificing him. It is very hard.

    Summary

    "Look, the whole of London's cracking up," she told him. "I'm finding it hard enough to work as it is without my commute being screwed up by the buses going on strike, and half my books turning into birds. That angel is wrecking everything, but in particular, my life - and you're too busy hating yourself to open your eyes and deal with it. I'm telling you, it has to stop."

    "Is that all still happening?" Crowley said vaguely. "But I found him."

    "Oh my God, you can tell you don't commute," Anathema said. "The buses went on strike, Mr. Crowley."

    "That's perfectly normal for London. You'll learn."

    "You're not listening! Not the drivers, the buses. They're organising - meeting in secret, holding little candlelight vigils. Nobody else really knows what's going on - everyone's just assuming it's, like, general TfL incompetence or something - but it's only a matter of time. So what are you going to do about it?"

    "Er... have they submitted a list of their demands?" Crowley said helplessly.
