    The greatest challenge in studying our condition, is observation. For instance, how we are created. Naturally this is rare and so mired in tradition as not to allow inquiry. I've only done so once, fifty years ago. A friend in Bribeaux allowed me to observe as she turned a young girl. After death, nothing but a slow moving, crying corpse... until the sun rose. I was amazed at the strange rapidity the disease overtook the dead flesh, claiming all for its own.--
