text, un: lucina ( backdated to a day before their escape )

[tolight]

Hello, Audentes. For those of you I have yet to meet, my name is Lucina. I come bearing news.

I have spoken to a Zymandis agent. They are here, alone, and the jewelcomms are what notified her to our presence; she was willing to answer my questions, and in return, asked the same of me. The following is what I learned:

They seem believe that the Timeline is ill; the multiverse no longer has the energy to sustain itself, and will eventually meet its demise. Given this, their mission is to destroy everything, so that the Timeline will be reborn stronger. [ Those familiar with her should know there's a certain level of anger in her tone, text or otherwise. ] At least, this is what their Timeline.exe has told them— not only so, the original Timeline.exe, as well as its "update", were created by the same individual: Theodor Arbatel, their "Leader".

If anything requires clarification, I will try my best to answer them.

( ooc. the thread is here for the curious. while i've gotten a lot of info the thread is currently incomplete, so there may be delays in getting to questions from characters!! otherwise feel free to threadjack / etc. )

it would be a viable solution if it didn't require the murder of trillions of souls. They are certainly not the first to believe in such a drastic measure.

[tolight]

I agree — they are far from the first.

... Have you dealt with something similar?

[littlestguano]

On a smaller scale. There are extremists in my world who sought to eliminate all or almost human life in order to create a better world. [Among those extremists was of course his own grandfather, and so Damian had grown hearing the justification behind the plan. In recent year Ra's al Ghul has appeared to have moved away from planning genocide of that scale, but it was a familiar concept to Damian none the less.]

It's a short sighted plan however. It may take billions upon billions of years, but it would only have to be repeated eventually and thus it doesn't actually solve anything.

... History does have the tendency to repeat itself.

Were they stopped?

[littlestguano]

They were. Superheroes of course. Though I suppose the more appropriate term in this case would be vigilante.

Plans like these are always doomed to fail.

[tolight]

I imagine there's a large distinction, where you are from. [ And what she understands of both.

But otherwise— ] And this plan will be no different.

[littlestguano]

Not as wide as it should be.

I am in agreement. They are foolish to even try.
