The Yankee businessmen are still arguing over the situation trying to determine a course of action.
TRUSTEE 2
What was his real name?
CEO
Michael Bayzer.
TRUSTEE 2
So, where did the name TRISTAN come from?
CEO
He had been calling himself that since he was in college.
It was an alter ego.
TRUSTEE 4
His vision of a superhero.
CEO
There is an account that he had been treated for
a concussion back in 1996 for jumping headlong
into a television set.
TRUSTEE 1
What?
TRUSTEE 2
Well, that would explain it.
CEO
His explanation, though, was that it was a metaphor of transcendence.
That diving through the television screen was symbolic of the discovery of a higher self.
An evolutionary Individuality that had miraculously reincarnated.
TRUSTEE 2
He believed he was the reincarnation of something?
CEO
Of somebody.
TRUSTEE 3
Who? Specifically.
CEO
The ancient knight known as TRISTAN.
TRUSTEE 1
What?
CEO
The Child of Sorrow.
He believed there was a thread that connected the chivalric code of the Middle Ages to the Southern Cause in 1861.
That somehow they were fighting for the same thing but that modern prejudice against the South was clouding the true perception of her vital role in defending the ideal of Western
Civilization.
In the end he became confused by the virtuality of the park into actually trying to fight the Civil War again using modern information technology.
He built a Cult of Personality around himself.
It is known that the employees on Island of the Old South had begun calling themselves the Rapscallions.
TRUSTEE 3
RAPSCALLIONS NEVER SAY DIE!
TRUSTEE 1
What?
CEO
I would venture to speculate that he was exploiting an ignorant population for some crazy plan of world revolution that would be effected through a seizure of the airwaves.
TRUSTEE 4
So he would send people down this roller coaster.
CEO
And they would never come back.
TRUSTEE 2
The police received word that the first wave of visitors to Island of the Old South were not returning from their vacations to Savannah.
They initiated investigations and that’s when
The disaster occurred.
TRUSTEE 3
THE DERAILED RIDE.
TRUSTEE 4
Where did they go?
The people that rode into LEVIATHAN.
CEO
Into the airwaves?
TRUSTEE 1
Impossible.
TRUSTEE 3
And the explosion?
CEO
The last ride.
He was closing the portal behind them.
TRUSTEE 3
But I am talking about the nature of the explosion.
Plastique? Dynamite? Nuclear?
CEO
Actually, it was a sonic boom.
But it appears to have involved some sort of interdimensional rupture opened by a hitherto forgotten audio frequency.
When turned down and analyzed it becomes apparent...
TRUSTEE 4
What was the furious sound?
CEO
A human voice, a logoidal amplification!
TRUSTEE 3
You’re kidding.
CEO
No.
---------
They take a momentary pause.
---------
TRUSTEE 2
THE REBEL YELL
CEO
He must be stopped.
