Characters [Transcript Begin]
 * Lucretia Saint-Saëns

[Ratatat, "Loud Pipes"]

Lucretia: You're listening to KFAL, Barcelona midnight radio. All you listeners on the road, now, I hope I'm keeping y'all good company. Lord knows it gets lonely, to drive at night in the quiet and the dark. That rattle that you're hearing ain't me, but I wouldn't pull over yet. Not just yet. Those of you who drive at night already know. I know you do. You never slow down, 'cause if you tarry, you'll never get home. Fast enough to make it, slow enough not to crash. And perhaps you're not alone. That person in the backseat might be there on purpose.

[Myssouri, "Muscle Car on a Dead End Road"]

Lucretia: Keep your eyes ahead, now, and don't pay me no mind. I'm still here. Don't let the fires by the side of the road distract you. Lights witnessed, lights stolen. It'll sink away presently. And if it doesn't, well, then it's real. And you should drive a little faster, after all. But don't be scared. That tired old Earth ain't hungry for you

[The Dead South, "Black Lung"]

[Mr. Bungle, "The Holy Filament"]

[Justin Cross, "Drink the Water"]

Lucretia: Now for those of you at home, who wait up and pace and wonder where those on the road might be, it'll be alright. Don't look out the window too much, and no golden hair will haunt you. That ain't for you. Stare into the fire, see the lights that can't be taken. They'll be home soon. Maybe not as soon as you'd like. But just as soon as they need to be. Soon as they'd ever be.

[The Protomen, "In the Air Tonight"]

Lucretia: Keep your wits about you, as the miles move by. Don't let the solipsism of a tired mind take over. Your own thoughts aren't the only thing to worry about. But don't dream of that girl. The air is heavy with darkness, and you'll need all the focus you can spare to cut right through. Get home safe. See y'all next time.
