[19_EgarAlnis]

So, fun fact, I've been listening to this band called Mechina.

The weirdest thing -- they fit the setting so well. It's so freaking weird.


They provide no struggle, no fight, as you slay them one by one with careful places of claw strike. You...lose steam after the tenth. More approach to stand in lines -- and they give no resistance as you slay them. You pause your fighting, instead poking one directly in the chest with a normal finger.

It does nothing.

[Eschar]

I have been waiting for the perfect moment to note this album I think fits this setting as well. Or maybe just fits Phoenix.

FIXMBR, by MBR.

[The Canadian kitten]

Do you guys/voices in the head think that these plague beings recognize us as a colosuss or whatever?

Ooh. I like this.


Something approaches from the distance, vaguely mand shaped, were man sculpted from chrome with a rictus mask of a human's face impossibly stretched over its features. It lifts its hands towards you -- the universal sign of someone unarmed. Its movements are odd. Sometimes it seems to trip over itself. Other times it forgets to lift one of its feet. It acts like a puppet with cut strings.

[I apologize, as I was not aware that they were waiting for you. To whom am I speaking? I am Phoenix.]

[The Canadian kitten]

Wait, so the plague is so intelligent that they manage to make a diplomat and are now calling for a ceasefire?

[Superdorf]

Strain 112.

"[You've never given quarter before. Why should we offer you the same?]"

[Eschar]

What is Strain 112? An altered form of the Plague?

[19_EgarAlnis]

[By my extrapolations, it is I/we/it/they that are giving 'quarter'. Surely you need time to rebuild your strength?]

[ZBridges]

[Doesn't the fact that you are asking for peace betray a weakness on your part?]

Maybe that's how the different plagues differentiate themselves?

Odd... Infection shouldn't be a threat to the Plague, right? Unless Strain 112 is something else?
