Something interesting.

He sure seems to like to send proxies in groups of four after me. Coincidence?

Anyway, as I make my way through this historical city, I think a lot of people can see Him here. I'm going to explore at ground level and observe the people around me when I can catch sight of Him. If so, perhaps He is just a very prevalent force in Boston right now and the whole train incident had nothing to do with me. If not, then this town is in trouble.

  1. That is very interesting... Are they the same four, do you know?

    I have a theory that he builds up influence in an area depending on how long someone who is aware of Him stays there. Maybe that's why He takes so long to kill/abduct some people - He's struggling to manifest or something, using the power of belief to gain power. Maybe that's why some Runners can survive so long, because they choose places to stay where He hasn't been before.

    Perhaps in your case, a Runner we don't know about has set him/herself up in Boston.

    Watch yourself, Ron.

  2. That's what I'm thinking, too. Thanks. I'll watch myself, for sure.

  3. Oh yeah, the proxies: I don't rightly know if they're the same four. I will be looking into that, thanks for the suggestion. I was thinking more along the lines of the number itself having some meaning.

  4. I can't imagine that it would have much significance other than being a convenient number.

    Unless they travel in packs, now? You might've stumbled upon a pack of Agents or Hallowed running together. Do you see any clear leadership or structural roles? For example, a motherly type taking care of a Drone?

  5. Well, they're usually guided by an Agent, but never the same one. I make sure that the brains of the operation is the first person I target with lethal force. After that, I'm usually forced to Run.

  6. Makes sense to have the most human the brains of the operation. I don't suppose it does any good for your conscience at this point to hear it, though.

  7. As far as I'm concerned, the Agents are less human than the proxies. The Agents follow Him and torment their fellow man willingly. Proxies are people He's broken.
