![]() From being with the party alone, he knows the dangerous qualities of magic and would attempt to stop this by putting down the Black Wind unit. Sorin's attempt will be to stop this he's above senseless killing (saying something like "The-Porre-Military-Must-Die," and the Black Wind would represent a real threat. At the very least, they can, by harnessing artifacts, sometimes exact basic elemental effects - nothing destructive yet. It is revealed that the Black Wind, named after Magus's speeches, is attempting to use the ties with Medina to research history and perhaps break down the gate between the ability to use magic among humans and mystics once more. The Black Wind unit of Porre, an elite guard, has its origin explained as Sorin, the Porre Assassin, meets his final actualization as a character. That is, unless anyone can think of a way to create something like the Central Regime without drastic geopolitical reorganization brought on by violence. If the party chooses to defy fate, as they did against Lavos, it will turn out that the jet is a decoy, or some such thing, and the plan gets carried out anyway, albeit with the player having earned a few more XP and some nice items. ![]() If the party chooses to sit back and do nothing, the plan is carried out. So there's another moral choice here - do Glenn, Magus, and Schala go along with the prophecy and the certain death of billions so that the Time Devourer might be destroyed, or do they defy the prophecy and risk the annihilation of the universe? Of course, the scenario cannot end well in either case. Now all that remains is to ship them to the launch site via a private jet. The nukes, three large citybuster devices, are already in Vanguard possession, having been bought on the black market. ![]() Within two hundred years, Belthasar will arrive from the Ocean Palace disaster with his laboratory to capitalize on the new resources. The survivors will have no choice but to band together and rebuild the world into a unified government, or to die. A nuclear apocalypse will then ensue, causing a magnitude of destruction comparable with the averted Day of Lavos. The Vanguard's plan is to launch nuclear missiles at several major cities from a vantage point that makes it look like the launch was carried out by a rival nation. To stop Lavos, or so they believe, the Vanguard has caused political tensions across the globe to rise exponentially over the past two hundred years, and their full plan will soon come to fruition by inciting World War III. This particular Guardian lore happens to be composed of Lucca's archival notes, which discuss Lavos, the new future with Belthasar's involvement, and the possibility of a Time Devourer coming into existence. The Vanguard would know this, via the knowledge passed down in Guardian lore and confirmed for them by Serran. In a way, this would be beneficial - only with the combined fiscal and military support of every country on Earth could Belthasar ever have even the slightest chance to complete his plan and destroy Lavos for good. My thought was that the Vanguard's aim would be to create this new world order, this Central Regime. Not that CE's storyline involves invading aliens other than Lavos, but the Conspiracy's reach is far, extending into the top levels of government across the world. No one knew what their true aims were, but it appeared as though this organization was in some way connected with the infamous Conspiracy of the show's venerated predecessor, The X-Files. The second-to-last episode of the arc (damn pity they didn't give it a second season) dealt with a terrorist organization called Romeo 61 that was supposedly responsible for everything from the JFK assassination to the destruction of the Exxon Valdez. ![]() A bit back, I suggested that CC's Central Regime might perhaps be a more militaristic version of the United Nations - a true world government. I was watching the DVD collection of The Lone Gunmen last night, and it gave me an idea for the future Vanguard and how it might tie into Chrono Cross. He spoke Old English in the original game.well, maybe bad old English. ![]()
