Hey hey, have these people already failed the test or something?

@Session

Many times. Absolutely. So says Raguel.

Another chance? Even though they're dropping like flies out there?

@Session

The cycle has to end to start again.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

Is that something they’re working on right now? I’m probably not understanding what you’re saying.

@Session

Societies in universes like these, follow a predictable cycle. Devoid of outside input, they make the same mistakes every chance they’re given. This one has had many chances. So it will receive another.

I don’t know, they seemed pretty sick to me. What makes you call them that?

@Session

Their history, of course. Just as I said. These people are slated to become tyrants and slavers.

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

By hurting this planet?

@Session

It may shock you to learn, but these people are the strong to which I am referring.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

And... what's his strategy to help the weak?

@Session

To keep the overly ambitious strong in check.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

Who's that?

@Session

*Throws my arms upward in jubilation*
Our savior, of course! Raguel, the Great Fulcrum! The very reason any of us weaklings have an opportunity to live, and that very likely includes you.

So how do we stop it? My job's to find a cure for these people; I don't really care what else happens in the bug world.

@Session

We don't stop it. Only one man possesses the means, and he won't be changing his mind. The path is clear. Everything is already in motion, and this is just part of a cycle that began with his will.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

So that's what this is? Some sort of judgement?

@Session

Judgement is long since past, and by a power greater than any of us. We simply use tools he provides the weak such as us to carry out his will.

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

What does that involve?

@Session

It means many things. As of now, and most importantly, it involves keeping the world in balance, from those otherwise destined to oppress it.
