It was the graveyard shift at the IKA-Renault plant. September, 1972. I was working security detail, same as Teodoro Merlo. You have to understand, that factory is massive.

Static electricity made the hair on my arms stand up.

Eight feet of..something not human. security guards reporting the same creature is a striking detail - Quinn' It was wearing this one-piece suit, tight to the body.
