Jason looked at Ryan and Mele. They were smiling and nodding.

"Absolutely. Thank you for showing confidence in me. I'll work hard and I'll do my best."

"Good," Mele said. "Now we'll whip up an early dinner, then get you two home. Jason, you're done with farm work. From now on you'll be living at Obie's and working in a lab."

Over the next several weeks the Video Vandals posted their work online, starting with the tamer actions and working their way up. Anonymous local bands provided songs of rage for the soundtracks. Each high-rated video was soon imitated and out-done in both action and music. It became very cool to be suspected of being involved in an online Video Vandal production.

It was also cool to be suspected of appearing, in disguise for security purposes, in a Vandal party video, way cooler than going to a rave. These events occurred in the boonies upcountry with the aid of generators in abandoned pineapple fields, macadamia nut orchards, vacant lots, and on the grounds of run-down vacant mac-mansions. The lights are dim and faces are hidden behind glasses, makeup, wigs and cross dressing.

In one of these videos the band sings, "I shot the sheriff." The lead singer holds the mike out to the crowd and they roar back, "and I shot the deputy too." The band sings, "I fought the law," and the crowd sings, "and I won." A loop of Vandal action videos plays on a large screen.

Lehua and the Kalamas were alarmed by the growing fad, fearing the Vandals would be easily infiltrated and busted. Sure enough, arrests soon followed and dozens of suspects were fed into the maw of the Beast on an assortment of charges.
