Tales From the Front: Kiki and Weiss (Part One)

What follow are fragments of an ill-fated correspondence, thought to date from the time of the Great Push (1). I say ill-fated not because of the abruptness of the cessation of this correspondence, as it is impossible to say how or why we have no further evidence of it beyond what is here presented, but because its very existence in corporeal form more or less confirms that Human Advance were fully aware of its existence on whatever plane it originally transpired, and were presumably active in espionage, counter-espionage and so called “super-espionage” against the cell in question.

WEISS to KIKI:

I looked into your enquiry regarding the situation of the Moon in Tokyo. I’m afraid it’s worse than you thought; they, being Human Advance, have created a most monstrous entity that they have, most perversely, named “Moon”. However, it is largely made of wax and starlings. What’s more, it is clear now that the owners of Lutter Farm are affiliates of the Tokyo Branch. One sure sign is that the place is guarded not by a dog, but by a barrel full of flames. This and other things, no doubt, we’ll look into.

KIKI to WEISS:

Human Advance of Lutter Farm - Notes: Their Milking Machines, also of wax and starlings, with additional steel and fibre glass, are, along with their Modified Cows, the reason, I surmise, for their grip on the Dairy Industry. If we can sabotage these mechanisms, we may stand some chance. That is to say, we may have some hope.

The flames are a hazard.

(1) This commonly applied term does not, as is often supposed, refer to the actions of any unified movement, but rather encompasses the (sometimes synchronized) actions of a loose and uneasy alliance of organizations opposed to Human Advance (e.g. Kiki and Weiss’s cell, the true name of which remains a bone of contention among scholars, and the Lancashire based “Boo!”) during the flurry of activity to that end in the early years of this century.
