This has been bothering me for a little while....

Back on my world there was a tyrant who was overthrown and killed. Before he died, he told the person who took him down "by killing me, you have doomed yourself." We never know exactly what he meant but then all of this happens. I just want to know if--

["if this is my fault" but she holds that back. There's a pause for a second or two before she continues.]

I want to know if anybody else here was warned about the end of your world. If there was any way to have seen this coming.

[Now there's an unhappy thought. She's only really learning terms like that, "galaxy", but she's worked out enough to understand that a galaxy is big. A power on that scale....]

I hope it was at least a nice image.

[That's muttered with a fair bit of sarcasm but more importantly.]

Have you seen him up in the pods?

[uglybug]

It really wasn't.

[Ego is anything but nice.]

He is there. I check to make sure that he is still there as often as I can.

[doomedtheworld]

Wonderful.

[She does not mean that at all.]

So when you say your "master" you meant former?

[uglybug]

Yes. Former. I will not serve him again.

[doomedtheworld]

That's good.

If you can tell me who it is some time, I'll make sure to check on him when I'm there as well.

[She's not saying she'll greet him with a knife if he wakes up but she's not not saying that.]

[uglybug]

I can show you where he is sometime. He is called Ego.

[doomedtheworld]

Ego. I'll remember that name. Hopefully it won't come up.

[uglybug]

I hope that it never does. He would not be easy to deal with.

[doomedtheworld]

What can he do?

[uglybug]

Anything he wants. He made his own planet.

[doomedtheworld]

[Wait a second.]

... Did he happen to try to kill anybody with this planet?

[uglybug]

No, not with the planet. He had other ways.

[doomedtheworld]

Oh.

[Well, she figured it was a long shot that she and "ROCKET" were talking about the same thing.]

So he could create worlds. Like an actual god.

[uglybug]

[Well, you know, when the same things are described just a little differently...]

He is a Celestial. A god, yes. He wanted to remake the universe in his image. He would have been the only living thing left.

[doomedtheworld]

[A few words can change a lot of things.]

Somehow I don't think the Natha would be willing to allow somebody to do that to their world.

[uglybug]

They would likely not, but he powerful enough to try, should he wake.

[doomedtheworld]

Then we'll just have to deal with it if it happens.

[uglybug]

I hope that it never does but I am grateful that you offered help.
