To all myth and magic enthusiasts:

I'm collecting stories and legends pertaining to magic, magical objects, and otherworldly technology. If anyone knows anything on this subject, I'd like to hear about it. Likewise, I'm willing to share my findings with anyone else who's genuinely interested.

Sharing stories over the bulletin is fine, but if you want to talk in person, just say so and we'll meet.

Him, in this case. What can I say, disaster tends to happen when you mix a madman with dangerous weapons.

I understand. Guess it's a waste of time trying to figure out how they managed to bring people from other planets here in the first place, huh.

"Him"? You're saying one guy did all that?

I'll give that we won't get anywhere speculating without evidence, but if people like me ever want to get home, we're going to have to figure out how they got us here in the first place.

Not all of it, but most of it. He was a human scientist who tried to conquer the world with deadly weapons he stole, but they eventually backfired on him along with the new, unstable technology that was used to combat him. Everything went to hell before he was finally stopped about four years after the war began.

Then we have to focus on stopping these people first. They'd be more likely to spill their secrets when we've got them surrendering to us.

Well, I guess I can put that down as another good reason to be against developing high-powered weapons.

Can't argue with that. I'd like to bring them down to their knees whether it'll help us or not. It's all they deserve.

That, or learn how to control said weapons properly before using them at all.

Agreed. There's no way we can let them get away with this.

[pen taps] So how advanced is the technology on Terca Lumireis, anyway? If Reploids don't exist there...

Still won't stop idiots from stealing or inheriting them.

As for technology levels... that's tough to compare.

I wouldn't say this place seems that advanced compared to my world, but I'll have to give that it's got a lot of daily conveniences that we generally don't have. From what I've seen, Earth seems to have more sophisticated methods of mass production than we have, which is probably a big reason there's a gap between us. We just can't do that with our technology right now.

Being stolen or inherited is the inevitable fate of any weapon that's created, whether it's high powered or not. You might as well hope the person who gets their hands on it is wise.

Sounds like your world's technology is far behind mine, then. This place seems very low-tech to me from what I've seen so far. I'm surprised to see actual paper books and not digital discs in the library, if that says anything.
