The man pulled off his mask. “I warned Stricken not to let anything happen to you,” Earl Harbinger said as he shrugged out of the shoulder straps and dumped the pressurized tank on the floor. “Not how I pictured our reunion. Anybody else down there?”

“Nobody I wouldn’t mind blowing up.”

“Good.” Earl took out a grenade, shoved it into the straps, and pulled the pin. He shoved the flamethrower over the edge and kept the spoon. “Move!”

Renfroe had already run for his life. Earl was the last one out. He closed the vault door behind them and left the STFU bunker to burn.

CHAPTER 19

CHAPTER 19

A Binding Contract of Perpetual Alliance, offensive and defensive, entered into between the being Franks and the United States in Congress assembled.

Recognizing that the hordes of Hell are a threat to all the establishments of man and the United Colonies of North America, let it be recorded that the Mission of Franks is
to protect the People from the predations of the Unearthly. Franks does solemnly swear before these witnesses to protect this land from all inhuman forces who may threaten
its citizens and their property and wellbeing. Franks shall henceforth fulfill this duty to the best of his abilities including the sacrifice of his liberty and life. In return, by all Rights, Laws, and Privileges, the being Franks shall be considered as a living man.

Both parties have agreed to the following stipulations.

The continued secrecy pertaining to the Unearthly, being necessary for the liberty and sanity of all men, the Congress shall establish a special committee of learned men pertaining to the Unearthly Forces, to be convened in secret.

Franks shall abide by the laws and limitations set upon him by the Congress, provided said laws do not clash with his mission as stated. The trial of all crimes committed by Franks in pursuit of his mission shall be by the special committee.

Franks shall not engage in acts of offensive war with any Nation, Nations of Indians, or Other Worlds without Consent of the Congress.

In exchange for the protection and services provided by Franks, the Congress will provide him with physical repairs, body parts of suitable quality, and any supplies necessary so that he may remain effective in battle against the hordes of Hell. All expenses incurred shall be defrayed from the Common Treasury.

Regardless of any alchemical or scientific knowledge gleaned from the study of the physical form of Franks, no attempt must ever be made to replicate the work of Konrad Dippel in order to create a physical body like unto that of Franks or this contract is immediately rendered void. In consequence Franks shall levy total war upon the parties responsible.

In Witness whereof we have hereunto set our hands on the first day of January in the Year of our Lord One Thousand Seven Hundred and Seventy-Six.
