[Locked to Adrian]
Every one of the Biblical plagues was invoked and recalled by a specific act of will. Every one of them had a purpose. But so far as I know, Chicago doesn't have a Pharaoh, and no one is an agent of calling these down and banishing them. They're tied to a clock – the ultimate in mindless inevitability. I can't divine any sense of intent or will behind them.
Which doesn't make me terribly hopeful about any attempts to circumvent that tenth plague. If there's no will, there's no angel of death to interpret the symbol of blood and pass over.
You're a firstborn, aren't you? The sorts of children who run off on their own to fight in wars often are.
I imagine you're probably busy, but the Tower is still open, if youwanted to stop by needed anything.
I'm sorry you're stuck here.

...you wouldn't happen to be a firstborn, would you?

I'm sure you saw it on the journals, but someone's trying to make a safe place for the first-born children for the plague that's supposed to kill them all. Can you get the pack there? ...failing that, can you get them here? It's not Torchwood's style to go rely on someone else's protection, and I imagine that someone or other will have a plan to protect the building up their sleeve.

Date: 2009-11-01 07:37 pm (UTC)...in my experience religion doesn't care too much about its victims. "Every firstborn son in Egypt will die, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sits on the throne, to the firstborn son of the slave girl, who is at her hand mill, and all the firstborn of the cattle as well." You'd think that a merciful god would make it quick, but you'd also think that a merciful god wouldn't take the sons of the innocent, and it was God who hardened Pharaoh's heart in the first place.
People are doing all they can to ward it off. It might work.
If it didn't work, if it wasn't quick, I couldI'll be here, in any case. Dying's not particularly new, to me.
