[There's a deep-seated rumble in what used to be Eastern Asia--Gilgamesh standing in the heart of a volcanic nightmare. In front of his hovering mirror, he held a stone 'sword' which spun on a cone's inner axis, red wisps of electricity and vapor dissipating from it. Each time he gestured with the sword, there was a massive earth-quake. The land itself shook, lava spraying up in geysers above wherever it was Gilgamesh stood.

After some time, he seemed content with what he had done, whatever it was. Over his free hand, a gold and silver set of blades spun on his forearm, much like a drill. He advanced, burying his arm into the ground and sending up sheets of rock around himself. The spinning red sword ceased its spinning at the same time.

When he seemed to be 'done' with it, Gilgamesh allowed it to vanish from sight. The sword itself became golden vapor and was gone just as quickly as it had been spinning. With a voice laced with raw irritation, Gilgamesh spoke up again.]

I will bringing you materials. Uncorrupted materials, beyond the poison in the ground. And seven days after this--I will bring you more.  Make no waste.

As I have said--this is revitalization. Many of these former countries cannot foster life. Radiation had swollen up in the dirt and water to the point that it would take hundreds of years for human beings to live in.

I changed that.

How terribly noble of you.

But foolish.

Is your family any braver than you?

I shudder to think of those who would flinch at war as much as you are.

I simply prefer a more subtle type of warfare than most. Making a show of it strikes me as vulgar.

You need not explain. Your motivations are clear enough, though they will prove ultimately fruitless.

You are destined to lose, regardless of tactics and even luck itself. 'War' is something that must be vulgar.

Insolent swine, you know nothing of-

This conversation is over.

[And he terminates the feed by slamming the device with his fist. After a moment of sitting in silence he swats the device to the floor and rises out of his throne with a huff.]

Like the others, you will die screaming...
