L. Samson was an employee and field agent of the Federal Bureau of Control.

Biography

Background

Samson was part of the Bureau Book Bunch (a book club that meet weekly in the cafeteria) and read and wrote a review of the book "Unless You" to give to Penny Bartwell for the club's next meeting. He perceived the book as a science-fiction space opera, and did not enjoy the overuse of the title as a catchphrase, but loved the various action and battles supposedly described in the book. However, he gave the book a 2/5 review due to his favorite character dying less than halfway into the book by "getting a battery cylinder launched into his face by a gravitational anomaly."[1]

Events of Control

Ironically, Samson died the same way during the Hiss invasion on October 29, 2019, being struck by a mail cylinder launched into his face by the Floppy Disk Object of Power (which occurs, in a meta sense, less than halfway through the story of Control.)[2] His fellow book club members also suffered fates identical to what they described reading in "Unless You".
