Re: I'm Done (For Now)
Khufu: I take it he was agreeable?
Lom Lobon: He didn't really have a choice.
Khufu: Has he been threatened with removal?
Lom Lobon: Oh yes, most certainly. When I mentioned we could put him on the secret dev safety list, he was so willing it was almost pathetic.
Khufu: This remove trend -- the rioting is intensifying to the point where we may not be able to contain it.
Lom Lobon: Why contain it? Let it spill over into the Dungeon and Vaults, let the removals pile up in the Lair. In the end, they'll beg us to save them.
Khufu: I've received reports of armed attacks on patches. There's not enough reform to go around, and the popcorn monsters are starting to get desperate.
Lom Lobon: Of course they're desperate. They can smell their removal, and the sound they'll make rattling their cages will serve as a warning to the rest.
Khufu: Hmm. I hope you're not underestimating the problem. The others may not go as quietly as you think -- intelligence indicates they're behind the problems in Depths.
Lom Lobon: A bunch of pretentious OOD monsters playing at running the floor. But the player left them behind long ago. We are the future.
Khufu: We have other problems.
Lom Lobon: Hell?
Khufu: Reformed by executive order after the dev strike on Forest. I have someone in place though. I'm more concerned about the Royal Jelly -- he's relocated to Slime:5.
Lom Lobon: Our malmutation density is far in advance of theirs, as is our encounter variety, and their...design inflexibility allowed us to make progress in areas they refuse to consider.
Khufu: The demonspawn project?
Lom Lobon: Among other things -- but I must admit that I've been somewhat disappointed with the performance of the initial unit.
Khufu: The secondary unit should be online soon. They're currently undergoing preparations and should be operational within six months. My people will continue to report on their progress. If necessary, the primary will be terminated.
Lom Lobon: We've had to endure much, you and I, but soon there will be order again, a new age. Makhleb spoke of the mythical Realm of Zot. Soon that realm will be ours, and we will be crowned its lords. Or better than lords. Gods.
