The Ultimate Anti-Climax of Ultimate History?

[So, all of you islanders have been recovering from the horrors of the Zombie Island Mish-Mash of Nuclear AWESOME, doing your island-y things. That's cool, so has Ed, off being his usual slightly-reclusive self and blowing things up in his Gilligan-lab to pass the time. Life returns to what passes for normal here, right?

...and then there's the note. Of course your first thought is 'Oh God, another event?' as would be the logical train of thought--

Wait a minute. Wedding invitation? Of the island and--WHAT?! And on top of that you're free to leave for home or wherever you like?]

...there's no way. This has to be a trick.



(( MINGLE POST HO!!! Are you skeptical of this ~*gift from the heavens*~ as Edward is? Are you one of the insanely hopeful that shall plan for where you'll go? Need to start making tearful goodbyes to your long-time buddies? Shanghai some fellow islanders to your homeworld for nefarious purposes? Get pissed at being brought here recently just to leave? Flip out and go find some Black Materia to call down Mete--wait.

So yeah. Post, mingle, have fun! And assume this is the day of the note-arrival, obvs. Mods, if this is out of line, feel free to stake me out for the vultures. *A*b ))

... Hey, just had a passing thought, nothing too big, but I really want to ask it.

Wouldn't an explosion capable of destroying a ship send shrapnel everywhere?

Your concern is well-warranted, but don't worry; I'm a professional.

The primary charges will destroy the portion of the ship that is already underwater; once it sinks, the secondary charges will take care of the rest.

Okay then, next question.

Do you know which ship it is?

[identity profile] lambda-driven.livejournal.com 2010-11-12 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
No, but that's not a problem. I have enough in my arsenal to take care of all of them.

[identity profile] lambda-driven.livejournal.com 2010-11-12 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Easily.

[ When part of your arsenal is a giant robot, it simplifies matters. ]

*she's expecting with pure explosive material here*

I may not be someone to talk about overkill, but don't you think that's a bit much?

[identity profile] lambda-driven.livejournal.com 2010-11-12 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Not at all. It's a sufficient countermeasure.

For what? Alien invasions?

What else do you have?
