The video feed clicks on to show Fet's smiling face.]
There's a lot going on here I don't understand, you know? There's a city filled with vampires and a lot of other things wanting equal rights with the people they eat. There's another place from the future, patrolled by Robocop. Then there's
another with a medieval castle, ruled by a king and queen and policed by knights.
[
He shrugs.]
This isn't what I know. Genessia City, a real
city, you know, and Attleton, a model suburbia. They have things that are normal, things I
do know. [
He reaches to his neck, where a very official looking badge hangs.] My name is Vasiliy Fet. Back home, in New York, I work for the Department of Health as a pest inspector and rat catcher. You know what this place has?
Rats. I went down to the employment office, you know. Looking for a job, 'cause a guy needs his own place. There's no health department here. Makes a guy wonder what the sewers look like, you know?
Well, you know what they say? It's a nasty job, but somebody's gotta do it. Might as well be somebody who likes it, right? [
He smiles again.] Now, you all know who to call for your rat problems. Or your roaches, or your termites. I'll have an office, soon as I get the funding, you know? Until then. [
He points to the screen as though indicating the network itself.] I'm on the line.
