Summary: Captain Black reacts to announcement that war has been declared on Bereznik.
Notes: I have more to say on this, but this is from the perspective of the Mysteron, not Conrad.
Human Stupidity - The Gift that Keeps on Giving
2099
It's nice when the humans do the dirty work for you, Captain Black thought, as the newscaster announced that war had been declared on Bereznik. It makes things so much easier.
Of course it also helped if you knew who to kill and replace to make sure things happened the way you wanted it to…
For race of out of control alien AI's, the humans world government's conflict with the rogue country, Bereznik, was like their version of Christmas, they didn't have to much to provoke conflict in the region, and the humans tended to blame the country itself for the drama and not the Mysterons, which was a bonus because it meant the Mysterons could do more.
In fact, most of Bereznik's antics in the last 30 years had some Mysteron influence of some sort.
But getting the world government into a war with the rogue country was the least of the Mysteron's goals, as Black's focus at this moment in time was on undermining China and Russia's confidence in the world government.
If the Mysterons could influence either government to leave the world council, it could open up whole new opportunities for human suffering.
The goal was to get the human race to a point of disunity that they would destroy themselves, first by destroying alliances between countries and then have the countries destabilise themselves.
There was also the issue with the citizens of the underwater kingdom's of this planet, while they were not the ones that attacked the Mysteron complex on Mars, they still evolved from their hated Myst masters and therefore, had to suffer like their human cousins, especially since they seemed to inherit more of their distant descendants traits.
But going after Mer's would have to wait, at least until the movements of WASP were restricted somewhat, because that organisation would be doing their best to make sure their current conflict didn't affect them.
Black smiled tightly to himself, Spectrum was about to find themselves run off their feet, because the attacks were about to come from all directions both human and Mysteron, because the humans were to stupid to realise that they were being played…
Oh how he would love to be a fly on the wall on Skybase right now, to see Scarlet, Blue and Mahogany's faces as they realise how much trouble they were now in…
It gave him chills…
If only he had a female Myst to torture right now…
Notes: So, I way I see Captain Black is two minds sharing the same body, with the Mysteron being the one in control and getting a kick out of the suffering that it brings Conrad, and the people around him...
