Very well. Now that we have dealt with the pests some of you appear to have brought in without letting the rest of us know and thereby preventing us from being properly prepared in advance, let's do a little show and tell: What other potential threats from the home worlds of anyone present are there and what is the most effective way of taking them out? I want serious replies only.


Private to Tony

Stark, I have a task for you.

[Radley thinks this is a wise idea. He will tell the government guy everything he knows. Yes, he still thinks Wesker is government.]

Okay, so, if the info back home is right, these things I'm thinking of are supposed to be dormant for the next 5,000 years. But just in case they're wrong, I'll tell you what I saw about them on the news.

Apparently there's this cult called the Dark Signers. They wanna conquer the world, plunge it into the Netherworld, all that kinda jazz. And they use these sentient monsters of the Nazca Lines from Peru. Do you have those in your world? They're huge geoglyphs in the ground. There's a hummingbird, a lizard, a giant, all kinds of stuff.

Unfortunately, the only ones who could beat them, according to the news, is a group called the Signers. They have to be chosen by something called the Crimson Dragon. They get some special powerful monsters to beat the Dark Signers' Earthbound Immortal monsters. And all these battles have to be played out in a card game called Duel Monsters. I know it sounds loco, but yeah. People play a card game to save the world.

It all sounds like something out of a tabloid, so part of me isn't sure whether to believe it, but I did see a skyscraper come down because of two of the Earthbound Immortals. And I saw something coming towards the City that looked like some kind of demon or devil. It apparently got sealed back up after the Signers won a card game against the Dark Signers' leader. So ... yeah. That was terrifying.

[ Of course he is government. All government people wear sunglasses 24/7. It's a rule. And Radley is wise to recognize this!

At least as far as Wesker is concerned. Since it makes his work a lot easier. What it doesn't make easier, however, is wrapping his head around the concept he is presented here. ]

I am familiar with the Nazca Lines, but it is news to me that they can be used to summon any monsters.

[ Different worlds, different rules, isn't it? ]

Aside from card games, are there some more conventional ways of dealing with these creatures?

Worse, it seems like they were the monsters, that they'd been sealed in the ground and then set free by the Dark Signers.

... That's a good question, though.... If it's really true that the Signers and the Dark Signers square off every 5,000 years, there couldn't have been a card game in their last battle. I don't know how they fought that last one. Maybe with the actual monsters on both sides? There's also stories in my world about the creator of Duel Monsters being inspired by ancient carvings that showed the monsters had been real and roaming everywhere. Sometimes there's exhibits in the City showing some of these carvings.

I don't believe playing a card game will do us much good here.

[ That sounds like there is some sort of magic involved if he is to judge. ]

Do you believe you can recognize these creatures should they show up here?

Re: Video

[crystalmaster]

Yeah, I wouldn't think so, not unless we're chosen as Signers.

[He smirks a bit, but then sobers.]

I'm pretty sure I'll never forget them. That news footage was wild.

[Magic was absolutely involved.]
