| When British police detectives from Scotland Yard went to Russia to interview a number of witnesses and suspects, including the three men who had met with Litvinenko, they were told that two of the main objects of interest, Lugovoi and Kovtun, were in hospital quarantine for radiation poisoning. Next week, radiation inexorably seeps toward Jericho, eliciting an inspirational speech on the nasty particulars of radiation poisoning and causing further panic, and the number of cities known to be destroyed expands urgently. The blowback of radiation poisoning symbolizes the "underworld" of indeterminate, unexpected, and unintended consequences, and raises questions of private, public, and global connections. |
