"Do not turn to mediums or necromancers; do not seek them out, and so make yourselves unclean by them: I am the Lord your God," he cites and adds: "Leviticus 19:31."SocraticLawyer wrote:"I know such things are not your preferred method, Mr. Bartlett, but surely we must use every resource at our disposal," says Reginald.

"I understand that desperate times call for desperate measures. So did our ancestors. Mr. Wilkins... do you happen to have a spare shotgun or hunting riffle, just in case?.."
