I think the Adenoid is cool and is on our side. It was doing a
good job of tying up Blatherard until they got to it with cocaine
and Pirate. It probably could have snuffled off the coke, like the
American ghettoes of the 80's- the establishment's worst night-
mare- but Pirate it was not expecting. He came out of the blue.
How could the Adenoid have known that The Firm had at its
disposal an asset capable of being a fantasy surrogate?

The Adenoid went down, but it's not forgotten- a mythic hero of
the underground struggle for freedom from Them and Their
attempts to control and deny even Their own humanity. The
Adenoid lives! If we want to get to Them, we have to turn
Pirate, and mediums like Pirate- the guardians of Their own
imaginations, set Their fantasies free, and make it impossible
for them to run Their war- the key to Their power.
