Tom Hawkins' fingers flew across his keyboard as he typed up another post for his increasingly popular anti-International Rescue blog. This is great, he thought. No new material for so long and now boom! Something to shout about. This stuff with those crazies is awesome. Thank God for contacts! His eyes strained against the light from the computer monitor in his otherwise dark apartment, but he didn't care.

In the down time between the last rescue and the most recent, Tom had set about putting out feelers everywhere he could to get news on both International Rescue's activities, as well as public feeling about them. All right, so the majority of people were in favour of them -- but not the way Tom told it. One of his contacts had sent him a link to a website made by some people calling themselves 'The Brethren'. Sweeeeeeeet, he had thought. So much potential for juicy stories -- at IR's expense!

He saved his file and sat back, lacing his fingers behind his head. He smiled as he read his 'masterpiece'.

Once more International Rescue have trundled in to save the day when a Tennessee shopping mall collapsed as a result of seismic activity yesterday morning. While no one else can say anything but 'thank you' to those brave men and women, I find myself once again pondering the question: if the government had the technology, could action have been taken sooner?

The rest of the article read in much the same way as everything else Tom had written on the subject. He simply seemed to be finding more creative ways to use the same idea each time. However, the arrival of the Brethren had given him some slightly more...interesting...material.

On a slightly stranger note, it seems that International Rescue has started coaxing people into joining what seems to be a coercive cult designed to bring innocent and inexperienced members of the public into their rescue situations. Yesterday, they used several van-loads of people dressed in what seemed like deliberately auspicious and impractical outfits to assist them in their work. This writer has to call into question the ethics of such a practice, and whether International Rescue should be allowed to put more people in danger this way...

He smiled once more, stretched out his shoulders until they popped in satisfaction, and pressed the 'send' button. After a few moments the new post was online, and he shut the computer down and went to bed, thinking about the hundreds of supportive replies he would wake up to in the morning.
