Speaker 1: technomad working from anywhere. All birds want you to be
Speaker 1: comfortable in your actual shoes too. Their wool runners, pipers

Speaker 1: episode twenty seven, All that we See, Part two of three.
Speaker 1: It wasn't until two am that the Scabreeze and Mallets
Speaker 1: finally arrived back at Rocha and Linda's trailer on the
Speaker 1: thirtieth Street. Still trembling from all they'd experienced, the friends
Speaker 1: hastily switched on the lights and double locked the doors,
Speaker 1: and so it remained for the rest of the night
Speaker 1: while they kept an anxious vigil on the skies outside,
Speaker 1: until finally the first rays of daylight crept into the valley.
Speaker 1: In towns like Point Pleasant, news can sometimes seem to
Speaker 1: travel so quickly among its residents it brings the very
Speaker 1: laws of physics into question, even more so when that
Speaker 1: news involves disturbing reports of strange, monstrous creatures stalking the
Speaker 1: local skies. With gossip and rumor already spreading rapidly through
Speaker 1: the town by the following morning, Mason County Sheriff George
Speaker 1: Johnson promptly called a press conference in the hope of
Speaker 1: nipping it all in the bud. A few hours later,
Speaker 1: number of somewhat skeptical local journalists arrived at the Sheriff's office,
Speaker 1: eager to hear directly from Linda, Roger, Mary and Steve
Speaker 1: as to what exactly had occurred the night before. What
Speaker 1: they certainly hadn't expected was to find the four apparent
Speaker 1: witnesses visibly shaken up and genuinely convinced that what they
Speaker 1: had seen was not of this world. When the articles
Speaker 1: were written up the next day, many struck an open
Speaker 1: minded tone, carrying headlines such as couples see man sized
Speaker 1: bird creature something as the point Pleasant Register put it.
Speaker 1: The official line from Sheriff Johnson, however, was that the
Speaker 1: something was nothing more than an unusually large bird. Many
Speaker 1: other residents were far less sympathetic. Before long, rumors were
Speaker 1: circulating about the reputations and drinking habit of the so
Speaker 1: called witnesses, with many suspecting they had just made the
Speaker 1: halting up for a bit of attention. Deeply hurt by
Speaker 1: what they felt to be slanderous accusations, the four friends
Speaker 1: soon realized there was only one way to shut their
Speaker 1: detractors up. Despite all their better instincts, they would simply
Speaker 1: have to go back, find the creature and capture it
Speaker 1: for all to see. Just after midday on Wednesday, November sixteenth,
Speaker 1: Roger Scarberry's black Chevy pulled up once again outside the
Speaker 1: North Power Plant, but this time they'd come prepared. After
Speaker 1: suggesting to the others that they wait in the car
Speaker 1: while he had a cursory look around, Roger grabbed his
Speaker 1: gun from the trunk and headed off toward the plant.
Speaker 1: He didn't want to have to use the rifle, but
Speaker 1: he thought it was safe to assume that they had
Speaker 1: no idea what they were dealing with, and he wasn't
Speaker 1: about to take any chances. The huge, monolithic, red bricked
Speaker 1: building was vastly more imposing up close. Though he tried
Speaker 1: to hide it, there was no, denying his apprehension as
Speaker 1: he approached the main entrance, taking a deep breath before
Speaker 1: pulling open the door and stepping inside. After making it
Speaker 1: through the first room, he found himself in a vast
Speaker 1: central chamber. Two levels of gangways skirted the edges, while
Speaker 1: in the middle sat the rusted remains of the plants
Speaker 1: for boilers. On the ground, small puddles and broken bricks
Speaker 1: mingled with pockets of leafy growth and scatterings of rusted metal.
Speaker 1: All along the walls, vines crept over a litany of
Speaker 1: painted marks kings bearing the names and initials of those
Speaker 1: who'd come before. All was quiet, save for the sound
Speaker 1: of dripping water that echoed throughout and the occasional flutter
Speaker 1: of pigeon wings from high up in the rafters. Just then,
Speaker 1: Roger heard something coming from one of the old corroded boilers.
Speaker 1: Heading over to it, he grabbed the handle on the
Speaker 1: door and braced himself. The others were relieved to see
Speaker 1: him emerge a few minutes later, if a little disappointed
Speaker 1: that he'd found no sign of anyone or anything in side.
Speaker 1: Deciding it was safe enough, the four of them then
Speaker 1: ventured inside together, Linda and Mary stayed close to the
Speaker 1: exit as Roger and Steve headed off to explore the
Speaker 1: upper levels. The men had only been gone a few
Speaker 1: minutes when Linda caught sight of a peculiar set of
Speaker 1: markings on the floor, like horse hoof prints. She thought,
Speaker 1: if only horses walked on two legs. She was just
Speaker 1: about to show Roger when a terrifying scream echoed through
Speaker 1: the lower chamber. It's here, cried Steve, suddenly appearing from
Speaker 1: a back room. It's in the boiler. In terror, the
Speaker 1: four of them raced out at the building and bundled
Speaker 1: back into the car and drove off as fast as
Speaker 1: they could back to Point Pleasant. Steve recounted what had
Speaker 1: happened later, claiming that he saw something very large shifting
Speaker 1: behind a boiler door and had moved in for a
Speaker 1: closer look. As soon as he put his hand on
Speaker 1: the door to open it further, whatever it was inside
Speaker 1: disappeared immediately up the chimney. That afternoon, the story worry
Speaker 1: of the initial apparent sighting hit the news stands throughout
Speaker 1: Mason and Athens County, and as it filtered through to
Speaker 1: the many surrounding towns. By Wednesday afternoon, it was all
Speaker 1: anybody could talk about. By early evening, Route sixty two
Speaker 1: out of Point Pleasant was so clogged up by excitable
Speaker 1: armed residents intent on capturing what had by then been
Speaker 1: dubbed the red eyed Thing, that the fire department were
Speaker 1: drafted in to keep things in order. By nighttime, the
Speaker 1: peaceful wilderness of the tnt area was well and truly
Speaker 1: shattered by a continual revving of engines, excited shouts, and
Speaker 1: the occasional sound of gunshots. But the bird, as others
Speaker 1: were calling it, remained elusive. At least it did for
Speaker 1: all those who were looking in the wrong place. It
Speaker 1: had just gone eight thirty PM when twenty one year
Speaker 1: old Marcella Bennett, along with her two year old daughter Tina,
Speaker 1: set off toward the TNTE area from their home in
Speaker 1: Point Pleasant with her brother Raymond Walmsley and his wife Cathy.
Speaker 1: Just like everyone else, Marcella and Raymond had also heard
Speaker 1: about the bizarre creature that supposedly terrorized the scarberries and
Speaker 1: mallets just the night before. However, unlike the many others
Speaker 1: hopeful for a glimpse of the apparent beast with red eyes,
Speaker 1: that night, Marcella and her brother had merely decided to
Speaker 1: pay a spontaneous visit to their sister, Virginia, who lived
Speaker 1: just past the northeastern edge of the former ordnance works.
Speaker 1: Having finally got past the busy throng of erstwhile monster hunters,
Speaker 1: they were just making their way through the outer fringes
Speaker 1: of the region when Marcella caught a glimpse through the
Speaker 1: trees of what appeared to be a large red light
Speaker 1: moving about in the sky. Thinking little of it, she
Speaker 1: said nothing to the others as they continued on their way,
Speaker 1: arriving finally at her sister's bungalow just after nine pm. Sadly,
Speaker 1: the trip proved to be a wasted journey when they
Speaker 1: discovered that, although their three kids were home, Virginia and
Speaker 1: her husband Ralph, had gone out for the evening. Deciding
Speaker 1: not to wait for them, the visitors said a brief
Speaker 1: hello to the children and were just heading back to
Speaker 1: their car when Raymond became suddenly distracted by something in
Speaker 1: the sky above. What's that, he said, stepping back onto
Speaker 1: the porch and pointing at a couple of distant lights
Speaker 1: hovering in the darkness above the trees. Cold and eager
Speaker 1: to get back home. Marcella ignored her brother, then lit
Speaker 1: a cigarette and pushed Tina toward the car. It's just
Speaker 1: a plane, she said, but couldn't take his eyes off
Speaker 1: the lights. That's no plane, he replied. The way she
Speaker 1: would describe it later, Marcella had just put her keys
Speaker 1: in the car door when something moved from out of
Speaker 1: the darkness behind it. The thing was well over six
Speaker 1: feet tall, with muscular legs that appeared to be covered
Speaker 1: in small gray feathers, and a large torso behind which
Speaker 1: she could clearly discern were a gigantic pair of wings.
Speaker 1: There might have been ahead, but from what she could
Speaker 1: tell in the low light, it was pressed down into
Speaker 1: its chest and difficult to make out. In that moment,
Speaker 1: she felt nothing but sheer paralyzing terror. From the porch.
Speaker 1: Raymond and Cathy had also seen the thing emerge from
Speaker 1: behind the car. Marcella could hear them screaming for her
Speaker 1: to make a run for it, but however hard she tried,
Speaker 1: she couldn't move her legs. It was as if the
Speaker 1: thing were somehow holding her there. Finally, after then becoming
Speaker 1: aware of the terrified cries of her daughter standing beside her,
Speaker 1: she found the will to break free from her momentary paralysis,
Speaker 1: she grabbed Tina and made a run for the front door.
Speaker 1: Moments later, she was sent inexplicably tumbling to the floor,
Speaker 1: knocking her daughter to the ground in the process, finding
Speaker 1: herself paralyzed again as her daughter screamed uncontrollably. It was
Speaker 1: only when Marcella felt the burn of her cigarette on
Speaker 1: her face that she found the strength to get up.
Speaker 1: As she pulled her daughter toward the safety of the porch,
Speaker 1: Raymond grabbed them from the top of it, and together
Speaker 1: they fell headlong into the house. Yond locked the door
Speaker 1: behind them, then frantically pulled down all the blinds as
Speaker 1: Cathie did her best to calm Virginia's children, who'd heard
Speaker 1: it all from inside. In a daze, Marcella said, she
Speaker 1: then made her way to the sofa with Tina as
Speaker 1: Raymond went to the kitchen to call the police. After
Speaker 1: checking to make sure her daughter wasn't injured, Marcella noticed
Speaker 1: that her own hands and knees were bleeding. Catching her
Speaker 1: face in the mirror, she saw that it too had
Speaker 1: been badly grazed in the panic. She then became aware
Speaker 1: of Raymond's voice coming through from the kitchen as he
Speaker 1: yelled down the phone, demanding an officer be sent out
Speaker 1: to them immediately. You don't understand, he kept telling them.
Speaker 1: The thing is still outside. What do you mean it's
Speaker 1: still outside, said Marcella, begin to panic again. Then she
Speaker 1: heard something shuffling about on the porch. Raymond rushed back
Speaker 1: in at the sound of Marcella's screams to find her
Speaker 1: pointing at the window with Tina tightly clasped to her chest.
Speaker 1: Go away, she shouted. Sh everyone be quiet, ordered Raymond
Speaker 1: as he tiptoed softly to the blinds, hearing it himself now.
Speaker 1: As whatever it was moved slowly up to the window,
Speaker 1: he carefully pried apart the blinds with his fingers, took
Speaker 1: a deep breath, then peeped through the gap with his
Speaker 1: eyes slowly widening in horror, Raymond could just about make
Speaker 1: out some sort of body pressed up against the glass.
Speaker 1: Trying not to panic, he quietly closed the blinds again
Speaker 1: and backed away from the window, taking his place with
Speaker 1: the others on the sofa as they waited for police
Speaker 1: to arrive. Fifteen minutes later, the family jumped in terror
Speaker 1: as a loud, insistent knock shook the door. The sobering
Speaker 1: sound of a police officer's voice broke through the noise,
Speaker 1: and moments later the officer was stepping inside to find
Speaker 1: four children and three adults, one bleeding from the face
Speaker 1: and legs, in a desperate state of panic, back out
Speaker 1: near the North power plant, the time having gone just
Speaker 1: past midnight, news of Marcella's sighting began to filter through
Speaker 1: the crowd. Having left empty handed from their earlier excursion,
Speaker 1: the Mallets and Scarborreries returned to the TMPTY area and
Speaker 1: joined the throng of hopeful onlookers for Linda. Especially the
Speaker 1: excess of people who continued to turn up from all
Speaker 1: across the county served only to exacerbate their fears at
Speaker 1: confronting the creature again. Spinning round in the dark, with
Speaker 1: all the bodies out there picking their way through the
Speaker 1: back roads and abandoned buildings, every shadow loomed larger in
Speaker 1: her mind. Spying something on top of a nearby maintenance building,
Speaker 1: what was left of her resolve finally crumbled, and she
Speaker 1: yelled for Roger to take her home, deciding it best
Speaker 1: to stay with Linda's parents that night. They were barely
Speaker 1: through the door when Linda became convinced that the creature
Speaker 1: had followed them there. Linda's fear was by now escalating
Speaker 1: into a full on panic attack, as her heart began
Speaker 1: to race ever faster and her breathing threatened to spiral
Speaker 1: out of control. Roger and her father rushed her to
Speaker 1: the local hospital, where she was eventually calmed by the
Speaker 1: medical staff. The following morning, down at the front desk
Speaker 1: of the Mason County Sheriff's Office, police struggled to keep
Speaker 1: up with the avalanche of calls flooding the switchboard as
Speaker 1: one sighting after another was reported from the previous few nights.
Speaker 1: When the papers hit the stand that day, a number
Speaker 1: of intriguing stories from as far as a hundred miles
Speaker 1: away began to emerge, including one of a resident of
Speaker 1: Salem detailing the strange disappearance of their family dog Bandit.
Speaker 1: Others spoke to the press to offer more sober opinions
Speaker 1: as to what the bizarre sightings could be raging from
Speaker 1: quote a large owl, a migrating goose, and boys playing
Speaker 1: pranks with a rigged device, As local paper, The Huntingdon
Speaker 1: Advertiser had it, one local high school teacher suggested the
Speaker 1: seven foot tall, red eyed thing with wings may in
Speaker 1: fact be nothing more than an experimental balloon. By now,
Speaker 1: the apparent creature, thanks to one imaginative copy editor, had
Speaker 1: also been given the name which from that day forward
Speaker 1: it would forever become known, the Mothman, inspired by the
Speaker 1: recently released Batman TV series. Over the next few days,
Speaker 1: thousands of onlookers traveled up from Point Pleasant and even
Speaker 1: further afield to get a glimpse of the supposed aberration.
Speaker 1: The highways and intersections were jammed with hopeful heroes, many
Speaker 1: carrying rifles and shotguns, with only one thing in mind.
Speaker 1: For Linda, Roger, Mary and Steve, the shadow that had
Speaker 1: apparently been cast over their car by the creature's wings.
Speaker 1: That Tuesday night had been a long one, with still
Speaker 1: no credible roof of their sighting. Many had taken to
Speaker 1: calling them out in the street, or simply pointing and
Speaker 1: whispering derogatorially as they passed. For Linda especially, it was
Speaker 1: all she could do to keep her eyes down and
Speaker 1: try not to let it get to her. But there
Speaker 1: was one local reporter who refused to be so dismissive.
Speaker 1: Like many local journalists, the fifty four year old Mary
Speaker 1: Higher hadn't quite known at first what to make of
Speaker 1: all the sudden talk of unidentified creatures flying about the sky. Ordinarily,
Speaker 1: the pugnacious twenty five year veteran of the Ohio based
Speaker 1: Athens Messenger would have taken it all with a pinch
Speaker 1: of salt. That summer, however, it just so happened that
Speaker 1: she had experienced a peculiar event of her own. Higher
Speaker 1: had been making her way back home from just across
Speaker 1: the other side of the Ohio River, which marked the
Speaker 1: border between Ohio and West Virginia, when she caught sight
Speaker 1: of what she first took to be a plane in
Speaker 1: the sky. Having forgotten all about it, she was surprised
Speaker 1: to look up a few minutes later, only to find
Speaker 1: that the plane hadn't moved an inch. She grew even
Speaker 1: more surprised when, having drawn closer to it, she realized
Speaker 1: that it wasn't a plane at all, but some other
Speaker 1: sort of aircraft oddly spherical in shape. A similar object
Speaker 1: was later reported hovering high up in the sky above
Speaker 1: Tiny's diner. Furthermore, just two weeks previously, a local construction
Speaker 1: worker whom Higher was familiar with, had walked into her
Speaker 1: office on Point Pleasant sixth Street, claiming to have seen
Speaker 1: an elongated object descend from the sky and land right
Speaker 1: in front of him while he was driving home. Mary
Speaker 1: had listened with patients as the construction worker went on
Speaker 1: to describe how a man in a black coat had
Speaker 1: exited the vehicle and asked him a series of inane
Speaker 1: questions before returning to the aircraft, which then took off
Speaker 1: into the sky, never to be seen again. Incredibly, at
Speaker 1: roughly the same moment the construction workers encounter had allegedly occurred,
Speaker 1: West Virginia State Police were dealing with an oddly similar
Speaker 1: incident of their own. Sewing machine seller would Row Derenburger
Speaker 1: had been returning home from work that evening when he
Speaker 1: was apparently overtaken on the motorway by a strange elongated
Speaker 1: craft that had pulled out in front of him, forcing
Speaker 1: him to stop his car. He too, had then allegedly
Speaker 1: seen a smartly dressed man exit the vehicle before approaching
Speaker 1: him to ask a series of odd questions. Darrenburger, who
Speaker 1: claimed the man's name to be Indured Cold, went on
Speaker 1: to give an interview to West Virginia's WTAP TV alongside
Speaker 1: police chief Ed Plum, detailing has supposed encounter. Darrenburger's account
Speaker 1: has since become known as one of the most bizarre,
Speaker 1: if less believable examples of a UFO citing on record.
Speaker 1: For Mary Higher, whose primary job for many years had
Speaker 1: been little more exciting than collating point pleasants, birth deaths,
Speaker 1: and marriages, it was certainly a welcome break from the norm,
Speaker 1: though she had yet to draw any firm conclusions from
Speaker 1: it all, it was hard to resist the thought that
Speaker 1: something peculiar was beginning to cent her on her own
Speaker 1: quiet patch of the Ohio River Valley. With her interest
Speaker 1: piqued by the Scarberry and Mallet's sightings and hearing about
Speaker 1: Marcella Bennett's experience, Higher began to wander if all the
Speaker 1: recent strangeness was somehow connected. Determined to get to the
Speaker 1: bottom of it, that afternoon, she invited the Mallets and
Speaker 1: the Scarberries to escort her to the TNT area to
Speaker 1: help her paint a clearer picture of what they'd seen.
Speaker 1: The four were reluctant at first, wary of how Higher
Speaker 1: might portray them. However, when they realized that Mary's interest
Speaker 1: was completely genuine, they eventually agreed to accompany her. Before
Speaker 1: long they were back trawling through the abandoned zone of
Speaker 1: the North Power Plant, picking their way along the twisted
Speaker 1: and rusted piping of the vast boily unit. Steve pointed
Speaker 1: out to hire where he claimed to have seen the
Speaker 1: creature wandering aloud if it might not in fact be
Speaker 1: living there. Roaching that same boiler, he took a moment
Speaker 1: to compose himself before wrenching the door open wide, but
Speaker 1: there was nothing inside. Though in one sense relieved, the
Speaker 1: group was disappointed to once again have nothing tangible to
Speaker 1: show the reporter. Steve slammed the door shut, sending some
Speaker 1: pigeons scattering up toward the ceiling, before leading the group
Speaker 1: back out of the building. A moment later, they heard
Speaker 1: a loud metallic clatter echo through the plant. Running back
Speaker 1: to the main hall, they were stunned to find the
Speaker 1: same door that Steve had closed only seconds before was
Speaker 1: now wide open again. By the end of the week,
Speaker 1: with Linda and her friends having by now made formal
Speaker 1: statements to the police, there had been at least eight
Speaker 1: specific sightings of a man sized winged creature from as
Speaker 1: far as Cheshire and Rutland, as well as quote an
Speaker 1: isolated home near the TNT plant and one in Doddridge
Speaker 1: County east of Parkersburg. According to the Athens Messenger, West
Speaker 1: Virginia University Associate professor of wild life doctor Robert Smith
Speaker 1: had also contacted Mason County Sheriff George Johnson to offer
Speaker 1: his expert opinion. It was Smith's belief that the creature was,
Speaker 1: as Johnson suspected, nothing more than a sandhill crane. Such
Speaker 1: a bird, which as an average wing span of seven
Speaker 1: feet and can stand up to six feet tall, could
Speaker 1: well have stopped off in the area while migrating south
Speaker 1: for the winter. Though sightings continued to trickle in over
Speaker 1: the next few days, the Sheriff's department were growing impatient
Speaker 1: with the hordes of armed and trigger happy onlookers clogging
Speaker 1: up the TNT area. There was the very real concern
Speaker 1: that they might end up killing nothing more than a
Speaker 1: harmless crane. By the next Tuesday, November twenty second, the
Speaker 1: department concluded their investigation and the case was officially closed.
Speaker 1: The following Sunday, eighteen year old Connie Carpenter made her
Speaker 1: way home from church toward the quaint riverside town of
Speaker 1: New Haven, roughly twenty kilometers north of Point Pleasant. As
Speaker 1: she passed the Mason County golf Course, she thought nothing
Speaker 1: of what she took to be an oddly stiff looking
Speaker 1: man standing just off the road ahead of her. That
Speaker 1: was until she saw what she later described to be
Speaker 1: a pair of ten foot wings suddenly unfurled from behind
Speaker 1: its back. Then whatever it was shot straight into the
Speaker 1: air and headed straight toward her car. Connie screamed as
Speaker 1: it drew near and clocked its red eyes before it
Speaker 1: almost smashed into the windscreen, and then veered away at
Speaker 1: the last minute, only to vanish from sight. Two weeks later,
Speaker 1: a stranger approached Linda Scarborough's parents home on Thirteenth Street
Speaker 1: in Point Pleasant and knocked on the door. When her mother,
Speaker 1: Mabel opened it, the man introduced himself as John Keel,
Speaker 1: a writer from New York. Earlier that year, having become
Speaker 1: increasingly intrigued by the subject of UFOs, Keel had been
Speaker 1: commissioned by Playboy to write an article about it. He'd
Speaker 1: been traveling the country ever since, investigating UFO flaps and
Speaker 1: interviewing witnesses. When he caught wind of the unusual events
Speaker 1: taking place in Point Pleasant taken by the bright young
Speaker 1: man from out of town, and sat As spied that
Speaker 1: he hadn't come to stir up trouble. Mabel invited him
Speaker 1: inside and suggested he take a seat while she made
Speaker 1: a few phone calls. Soon, Keel was being introduced to
Speaker 1: Mabel's daughter Linda and her husband Roger, as well as
Speaker 1: to Mary and Steve Mallett. He was also introduced to
Speaker 1: a young woman with red and irritated eyes, which he
Speaker 1: assumed to be conjuncti vitus. After apologizing for the infliction,
Speaker 1: the young woman introduced herself as Connie Carpenter. She explained
Speaker 1: that the eyes had turned red the morning after her
Speaker 1: own apparent encounter with the infamous mothman. This was especially
Speaker 1: intriguing to Keel and not the first time that he'd
Speaker 1: encountered such a thing. In fact, many of the apparent
Speaker 1: witnesses to UFO phenomenon that he had recently interviewed also
Speaker 1: claimed to have suffered from pinkeye in the idiot aftermath
Speaker 1: of their sighting. Finally, Keel was also introduced to Connie's aunt,
Speaker 1: who was none other than local journalist Mary Higher. Together,
Speaker 1: the apparent witnesses all gathered in Linda's parents living room
Speaker 1: and huddled around Keel's tape recorder as one by one
Speaker 1: they detailed their various stories. None of their accounts had
Speaker 1: changed at all in the weeks since they occurred. Writer
Speaker 1: John Keel then chanced a suggestion would they accompany him
Speaker 1: back to the power station for one last attempt at
Speaker 1: finding the creature. Linda shifted in her seat and looked
Speaker 1: nervously toward Roger. Neither had been back since the night
Speaker 1: of her panic attack. However, with all the name calling
Speaker 1: and being only brandished as drunks and liars, just as
Speaker 1: fresh in their minds, having the writer from New York
Speaker 1: as another witness might just be enough to convince the
Speaker 1: town they hadn't made it up. Driving into the TNT
Speaker 1: area shortly after nine pm, they found the place once
Speaker 1: more restored to its former, eerily deserted glory, as it
Speaker 1: had been back before that terrifying night of November fifteenth.
Speaker 1: They stepped out of their vehicles into the frigid night air.
Speaker 1: The main gate at the plant was now padlocked shut,
Speaker 1: but fortunately there was a gap in the fence just
Speaker 1: large enough for the more to squeeze through. Though some
Speaker 1: had initially been enthusiastic about going back, by the time
Speaker 1: they were stood out there in the dark in front
Speaker 1: of that imposing facade, Keel could sense a quiet panic
Speaker 1: spreading throughout the group. When he asked for volunteers to
Speaker 1: accompany him in sight, only Connie and Keith raised their hands.
Speaker 1: It was fair enough, he thought, after everything they claimed
Speaker 1: to have been through. He was grateful at least that
Speaker 1: he wouldn't have to go in there alone. And with
Speaker 1: that the three of them, John, Connie and Keith steeled
Speaker 1: themselves then pressed on into the power plant. You've been
