their homes with no sign of a forced entry, almost as if they had allowed the killer to enter. In 1946 police cornered the animal attacker inside a cabin in Glacier National Park and had shot it, but when they went inside to retrieve the body they had found only the corpse of a man. Allende now knew that werewolves, or something very like them, were real.
    Allende had read all the files. Next came the stories of the Moth Men and from there it just went on and on. Suspected contact with extra-terrestrials, sightings of Bigfoot and other strange beasts, the Hessdalen lights, rolling rocks in the desert, crystals which held strange power, unexplained disappearances, the Bermuda Triangle and the Black Knight satellite which orbited the Earth but was not made by man.
    If Allende had not been capable of such a strange power himself, the power he now called his presence , he might have dismissed all of these files as far-fetched and as the attention seeking stories of weak-minded men. But his brain, his hot, hot brain, so hot it felt like it burned inside his skull, could see the links between these strange events and the doorways, the lines, which he knew to be fact. And he had begun to create a plan.
    He had access to such a wealth of information it was staggering. Aside from the X-Files the other things which Allende had found fascinating were the details of secret Government projects. He had read all about the Philadelphia Experiment and the chain of events which had led up to him, Bub, finding a man fused to the side of the USS Eldridge in Virginia in 1943. But the files which had really got him thinking contained details about US genetic, biological and mind-control experiments. He had read about cloning and the development of new kinds of men and animals, fusing DNA, electroshock therapy on children and above all Project MKUltra, a terribly brilliant programme to manipulate human brain functions so that people could be controlled and have their personalities altered. The Director of the CIA, the US Central intelligence Agency, had ordered all the files to be destroyed in 1973, but Allende had got to them before that. He had taken copious notes carefully transcribing them into something like a grimoire, a book of magic. Eventually, his presence enhanced brain had helped him to remember all the detail and he had not needed the book. He now knew all about altering the brain and how to breed humans and animals to enhance certain abilities and characteristics in the same way that farmers bred pigs to give the best meat. The files detailed work that had been conducted in the Soviet Union, North Korea and, of course, by Nazi Germany. The US itself had conducted dozens of biochemical experiments on men. Successive presidents had had to apologise for them. Gerald Ford, the 38 th President, had ordered the review into the CIA mind-control programme Project MKUltra. But by then most of the documents had already been deleted and existed only in Allende’s brain.
    The brain was such a mysterious thing and it fascinated Allende. What parts of it could be awakened and developed through adding new stimuli? Could others have their presence unlocked in the same way that the experiment and the chair had unlocked his own? What aspects of the strange material in the X-Files could be added to the principles set out in Project MKUltra? If he could find others with latent presence could they become powerful? And would mind control allow him to make them follow him as their master, their lord, their King? Could he rule, here, from the Raven Rock Complex?

    T he day after his encounter with the rogue Sam found the people of the town even more cautious of him than before. He had been seen leaving the safety of the houses at night and the townsfolk had become suspicious of him, even more suspicious than they had been before. Only the Riven and rogues dared the
