*Visible from the bases, ripples begin appearing in the sky, seemingly very distant, their origin off in space*

*Smiles*
Thank you, Joy. You'll probably get a raise out of it.
*Straightens up*
Shinji, come with me to my office.

Ah. As can coffee.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Yes, ma'am.

*waives goodbye to Joy*

Joy: *waives goodbye back*

This is true!

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

Ooh! There's a spooky phenomenon happening outside. Let's go see what it is and call lots of people to help!

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Phenomenon?

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

You know how bananas are shaped?

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Er, I think so? If we're talking about the yellow boomerang-shaped fruit, then yes. It's shaped like a boomerang.

As much as I hate to break up the tea enjoyment period, we seem to have another issue on our metaphorical hands.

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

Mierno: ... that can't be good.

*The anomaly shows no sign of catastrophic growth, but does appear to gradually be getting more noticeable*

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Like water rings?

*In Seth's throne room*
Okay, well, he's gone now. Oops! We need a new king. People in here who want to be loyal supporters of my benevolent regime, gather in a circle around me!

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

*A large ring of people forms around you while others stand back awkwardly*

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Sure! Well, imagine a lot of them next to each other! Or just go outside and look.

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

Lame! *Waves my hand dismissively* Not you, ring of people. Nonloyal people, go write your names down on one of those documents on Seth's table so I can demote you to jobs where you can't sabotage anything. Don't worry; you'll keep your pay.

<Snipped quote by whizzball1>

Is it safe to?
