It’s Worse Than I Thought!
Well, as you can tell by Mike’s post below, my worst-case scenario was almost accurate. All the precautions I took to dispose of him as a relatively normal paranormal/undead thing of the night were for naught. He’s clearly not a lich, but rather a demon (the part I was right about) who managed to upload himself into a computer! Just like that episode of Buffy (”I Robot, You Jane” from season 1) where Moloch the Corruptor gets trapped in a book, and then scanned into a computer, and attempts to seduce pre-lesbian Willow! I assume that by now, Mike has probably assembled a group of minions to build him a cybernetic body from which he can control all the world’s computers.
The good news is that this crisis essentially falls outside my purview as a hunter of the undead. It’s kind of a gray area, since there is a demon involved, but there are also computers involved, and I’m a notorious technophobe. So I think I’m gonna sit this one out. Maybe read a book instead, have a glass of wine. Have fun as your computerized world ironically collapses around you, undone by the very thing that was supposed to redeem it.
