Interview:

Exorcism Attempt #4

Date: 14 April 2004

Present:

Doctor Peter Macneil - Department of Demonology, Psychology Division
Agent Savannah Grace – Mobile Task Force Mu-13 ("Ghostbusters"), Purification Specialist

Background: During the course of operation Four Monarchs, the details of which are classified Level 4, Agent Grace was exposed to a demonic entity and suffered possession. It has since been determined this accident was due to a failure of the chains to hold what lies beneath. Agent was subsequently taken to the Department of Demonology for exorcism, but initial attempts failed at expulsion. Doctor Peter Macneil, a specialist in exorcism via demonic psychology, was then authorized to meet with the possessed alone to attempt exorcism via coercion or intimidation.

Doctor Macneil: Hello, Agent Grace. You've been fairly quiet since the last attempt. I know you can still hear me. Eyes up.

Agent Grace: Jim. Connor. Marcus. Jane. Jim. Connor. Marcus. Jane. Jim. Connor. Marcus. Jane. Jim. Connor. Marcus. Jane.

Doctor Macneil: You are to surrender and vacate this vessel.

Agent Grace: Jim, Connor, Marcus, Jane. Jim, Connor, Marcus, Jane. Jim, Connor, Marcus, Jane. Jim, Connor, Matthew, Jay. Fuck… fuck!

Doctor Macneil: You repeat those names in a feat of resistance, but you know that it was your own actions that lead to their deaths. It was your fault. You must give recompense. You must cease your struggle. Give in.

Doctor Macneil: You are a putrid, violent creature. You eke out your existence on the suffering of those you deem lesser, yet look at yourself now.

Agent Grace: Co..nner, marc. Jane? No… oh God, please no.

Doctor Macneil: You are locked deep in this facility. You know you cannot escape. You know that you will never achieve your goals, your desires, your hopes. You will die here, alone and rotting.

Agent Grace: Die in the dark, live in the light. Die in the dark, live in the light. Live in the dark, Die in the light. Live in the dark, die in the light.

Doctor Macneil: You are at my mercy. You will experience hell for all time should I so choose. You will give in. You will let go.

Agent Grace: Dark, light, light, dark, light, dark, light, d— dark, light, light… dark —

Doctor Macneil: You are still resisting. You will be punished for that. Will you not rather flee to what refuge I deign to offer you?

Agent Grace: Nema… reeeeve…

Doctor Macneil: Save your whore breath. You will not be aided. You will not be believed. You will be reviled. Spare yourself the pain.

Doctor Macneil: You… is that really the Lord's prayer backward? Are you truly so useless, so vile, so pathetic, and so utterly weak that you would resort to such a petty trick as your final defiance? You will fail.

Agent Grace: Live morf su reviled tub noitatpmet otni ton su dael-

Doctor Macneil: If you are such a lover of the Lord your nature and actions so disgrace, then perhaps you know this: Deuteronomy 4:4 "But all of You who held fast to the…" — finish it for me, dear.

Agent Grace: Yht eman… yht eb dewollah.

Doctor Macneil: What you're doing won't help you, ignorant fool. "But all of You who held fast to the…"

Agent Grace: NEVAEH NI TRA OHW REHTAF RUO!

Doctor Macneil: You will finish the verse. "But all of You who held fast to the" — 

Agent Grace: NEMA REVE dna… reve… ro…

Doctor Macneil: You are slipping. "But all of You who held fast to the…" 

Agent Grace: …"L— Lord Your God are still alive today."

Doctor Macneil: Good girl. "See, I have taught you decrees and laws as"…

Agent Grace: "…the LORD my God commanded me”—

Doctor Macneil: "—so that"-

Both: "You may follow them in the land you are entering to take possession of it."
