Gurdo: "A lot has been thrown into doubt by that. We're still debating. Your report seems to indicate that he'd sense a demon showing up... but his own defenses against himself undid him last time."

"Guess we finished at just the right time."

Gurdo: "Yes. Good work."

"Seems like an almost insurmountable task, if any world they take is toast. Do they at least waste energy fighting each other? Do they promote monarchism to create more targets?"

"They are great power in the universes, yes. Conditions need to be just right for them to succeed though, and we're always watching them. They do spend a fair amount of energy fighting each other, but the biggest difficulty is they can't just jump to any world they choose until someone opens a portal. And we see most portals, especially to Teruthian worlds"


"There are several world empires trying to take over the cosmos. It's our job to stop them. They're all scary. But we hold them all in check."

Gurdo: "They're in their atomic age. Semi-auto riffles are the infantry weapons of choice. The emperor's guards are still trained in sword play, which could come up against demons. They are prepared to use gas, though that's of limited effect against Teruthian demons. They've got good radar, better submarine capabilities than anyone not using robots, and radio."

"I'm sending in dozens of hero teams and entire armies of allies. You have the emperor of Japan. That's the whole of your mission. I've got other people handling the other fronts."
