So it's bizarre how many cockroaches, rats and dinosaurs come scuttling and slithering out of the shadows as soon as the first whiff of decay pervades down the plastic, tv-studio hallway. They've all been around a lot longer than we humans, these beasts. Offcuts of the evolutionary cycle. Misfits that have survived so long not because they're useful, or ever were, but just because they've survived.
It's the blank spots in the system that have led to such freaks being allowed to survive. Relics of a bygone era whose presence comes from simply hanging around and surviving. Their only fight comes when their instincts are threatened. Then their dumbness comes to the fore. As practitioners of the mono-thought, they have nothing to offer apart from age-old corruption. Power and honesty seldom go together.
If today there was an atomic mishap, they'd still be the only thing to survive. This is mostly a matter of sheer numbers and their ability to feed on garbage.
