In the headquarters of Konami a young executive named Mr. Koga stands. He has been inspired. He has dreamed, as Mr. Matsuda dreamed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have seen it,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
He looks far away.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn my dreams they crash down before me,\u201d he says. \u201cThe lightning and the red. And fire lashes up from the sewers to take me, and it eats me, down to my bones; and God is with me, then, he is telling me, thus ends all mortal hope.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI am dead,\u201d he says. \u201cI am the walking dead. For I have died in dreams. But from the land of death I bring a jewel. I have seen it. I have seen how to fix the greatest flaw in the Konami Thunder Dance. It is the truth that is given to me by God.\u201d<\/p>\n He is fired for his presumption. Then later the company sends a thunder dancer and two programmers to talk to him. They speak to him late into the night.<\/p>\n They return with a jewel of knowledge, clutched to them like a sacred hat.<\/p>\n \u201cWe can do it,\u201d they report, to the board of directors. \u201cWe can patch the hole. We can close out Dynamite.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In the headquarters of Konami a young executive named Mr. Koga stands. He has been inspired.
