The Goodstalkers take vows that are astonishingly severe by gangstalker standards: No meat (they believe animal flesh carries imprisoned souls). No sex or marriage. No lies, no oaths, no killing. No ownership of property. No violence, even in self-defense. They live communally, often in safe houses maintained by handlers.

Their small minds, like cracked thimbles, cannot contain paradox. And so when faced with complexity, they lash out, or worse, submit to simplified narratives provided by their master.
