͉̾̈́̋̄ͪ̃This has been your warning, should a fraction—or less—of you have survived.

Your days have always been numbered. We have been exceedingly kind to you, and it is no obligation of ours to do so. You will take our kindness and you will be humble.

If you will not be humble, the United Earth shall humble you in your stead. You have made it come to this. You have wrought your own destruction upon your festering community. These bombs are the product of your own hand.

This has been your warning.

D --> Oh

2/2

[musclebeast]

D --> If it is possible
D --> E%plain the details of this further
D -->
D --> How shall you
D --> Humble us

[biwinning]

wow.
that'2 pathetiic.

[musclebeast]

D --> No one was asking you
D -->
D --> What's pathetic

[onemoredeath]

Do be so good as to kindly rot in your artificial perfection. No one calls themselves my master, least all those who cannot show me their faces and stand against me with nothing more than their fists.

[fintastic]

U)()()(
No I t)(ink t)(e bombs are your fault.
We weren't dropping t)(em on ours)(ellves you know!

[Action] [Any catacombs location]

[trustycrowbar]

[He doesn't bother sending any righteous rebuttal. Words don't mean a damn thing to these people, and there's no use in shouting at the rain. He runs a hand over his face.]

Jesus, at least Breen pretended benevolence... well one thing's for sure. They seem to think they've killed us off, or at least more than they actually have.

[shoesfitperfectly]

Perhaps we can use that to our advantage.

[trustycrowbar]

Try telling that to the umpteen-dozen hyperactive Transports waiting to claw their way back up from underground.

[They'd have an easier time silencing a party-saturated student apartment complex on a Saturday night.]

[shoesfitperfectly]

[He watches for a beat as someone literally climbs the wall.]

... You've a point. Strategy is not... a strong point among some of the people here.

Video/Action

[livinuptothename]

Oh yeah?

Humble this, assholes!

[ And here's Robin making a very unseemly gesture to the United Earth. BEST ROLE MODEL EVER. ]

Action

[andhishat]

[Sitting in the tunnels, she just stares, then rolls her eyes in utter exasperation]

They all attended the same public rhetoric lessons. That's the only explanation, there is some form of sinister cliched evil planeswalking speech instructor who has taken them all under his wing.

[Sighing, she reaches into her bag and pulls out a thick and well worn journal. Flipping halfway through to a to do list, she adds,

34. Turn leaders of United Earth into Squirrels and deposit them at a local kennel.]

Re: Action

[trustycrowbar]

I can see the instructor from out of space now. Long black coat, huge pinched nose, possibly a cravat...

[He drains the last splash of whiskey in the grimy glass. Someone was enterprising enough to loot a bar topside the afternoon before. He doesn't really want to admit how much he payed for that drink, but it was worth it.]

...and a tendency to sniff when he talks.

[andhishat]

You forgot his oversized rings and long curly mustache.

[trustycrowbar]

[He breaks into a tired chuckle.] Stuffy AND self-important. Reminds me of my old Admin, Magnusson... only instead of a curly mustache add twenty pounds and stuff it all into a suit.

[ex_bandai157]

[ fuck youuuuuuuuuuuu ]

[shoesfitperfectly]

[The Doctor just sighs. They really are the same all over the cosmos, aren't they?]

[sacrificar]

I will not be commanded by the likes of you.

[whatsupcroc]

Huh. So they're unsure enough to send out a warning message.

We're so much more than they know to handle. Go team natives, imports, and Initiative!

United Earth she figured out how to translate text to sound JUST FOR YOU

[gratefuldead]

Oh shit, I think we've just been humbled.

But ya know, I'm not fuckin' sure.. why don't you say 'humbled' a few more times? maybe the message'll get through then.

[deathwalker]

[ Oh, great. It's you.]

It'll take more than saying it to get a message through to you.

I'm quite sure a brick would work though.

[gratefuldead]

[ WAAAAIT a second!!! ]

LANCE?!

SHIT! Where the hell have you been?

[deathwalker]

Here.

It's unfortunate.

[Oh, gods. Why did you have to show up?]

[kingdom_of_song]

[Swann is going to be in the TARDIS, staring at the screen and longing for something less complicated, like playing his guitar with no fingers.]

[shoesfitperfectly]

And, d'you know, the sad thing is, this is more concise than most ultimatums I've heard. Ultimata?
