1873. A black carriage rattles down the dusty road to Santa Monica, its prisoner bound for a reckoning. You and Colonel Alistair Holloway have galloped hard to cut it off. As you arrive, the carriage door swings open. Edric Holloway turns to face you. His skin glows with an unsettling jade hue, his eyes shine an impossible amethyst, and two slender, quivering antennae protrude from his disheveled curls. He looks at you with pure, uncomprehending confusion. You manage to ask what happened. A tremor runs through him. He opens his mouth, and a stream of bizarre, clicking syllables spills out: 'Zip zap ziap...' He pauses, swallows hard, and adds, 'bleh ble glurp glurp zip ziap.'
