[QUOTE="kinem, post: 4030804, member: 24234"] Father Berman shakes his head. "I must disagree, sir. First, while the monster is gone, it was never the only threat to the gnomes. Remember the thugs, the crazy bird-men, and the wagon driver? It is obvious that the monster was not working alone, and had partners with criminal connections and deep pockets. In fact Alek gave us a name - Brass - and claimed that his girl would know more, which is why she is now being questioned. As for Alek, he is known as a drug dealer. I think that the behavior of his girls is clear evidence that they are victims of the drug. The monster's journal spoke of artifical life - the monster - and of artificial love - the drug. Which reminds me, we must examine those records again - I think I recall mention of Brass in Hieran's report." (Glancing at Perrin) "Perhaps not coincidentally, the fire likely destroyed Alek's records, but I'm sure there are other ways to ascertain it. The exploding mask of the bird-man was likely Alek's responsibility as well, making him a murderer. The bird man seemed drug-addled as well. Alek claimed it was a former employee; I suspect that the masks of his girls are similarly rigged. In any case the masks are a known danger and must be removed before releasing anyone. We should arrest him. We can surely gather more evidence against him, given time. In any case, he was a prime target of the monster, and must also remain in custody for his own protection." [/QUOTE]
