“Let’s see what your pervert squad can do.” – Onslaught (2026)

At the end of World War II, when the Allied forces had crushed the German war machine, America chose not only to spare several scientists and members of the Nazi party from prosecution for their war crimes, but initiated a secret program to bring them into U.S. government employment.

Orrin’s Quotes

“For these beings, fall is ever the normal season, the only weather, there be no choice beyond. Where do they come from? The dust. Where do they go? The grave. Does blood stir their veins? No: the night wind. What ticks in their head? The worm. What speaks from their mouth? The toad. What sees from their eye? The snake. What hears with their ear? The abyss between the stars. They sift the human storm for souls, eat flesh of reason, fill tombs with sinners. They frenzy forth....Such are the autumn people.”
― Ray Bradbury
