If a kid like me could find one of the dispensers, they must not have been trying. The card was creepy though.

You're not an ordinary child, need I remind you?

No. But they weren't trying to keep those things undetectable. All anyone had to do was follow the rats. And that card... That was left for our "benefit".

Although it wouldn't work as terrorism if we never found out it wasn't a curse.

If they had been, it wouldn't be terrorism, but that doesn't mean it's not badly done.

They've managed to scare everyone. How could they have done better?

Everyone's pretty worried about people getting sick and...

Oh! Everyone's more angry at the idea someone did this on purpose, instead of scared of whoever's behind it!

Terrorism rarely serves the end of anyone who's participating. It's more likely to foster anger and togetherness than fear.

And in other cases it might foster xenophobia.

Yeah... with such a widespread threat, and with how people here are... People might even start cooperating as much as they did during the invasion... but I'm probably being too optimistic.

Which means all there is to attack is the terrorists.

And they shouldn't be too hard to identify, if they're leaving cards around.

I'll assure you more people fear me than they fear these terrorists, and I have no supernatural powers whatsoever.

True. Unless being cunning counts!

Thank you, Mr. Styles.

Reminding me how people are likely to react.
