Each and every time the world has been invaded, millions have suffered before you all were able to best them, to repel these invaders. But yet, despite the casualties they caused, every time, they have gotten away. You all can stop these threats, eventually, but no true justice gets carried out.” Ra's al Ghul says, clearly growing more impassioned as he speaks. “Only when our otherworldly friends, like the General here arrive do the threats to this world face true justice. Like Doomsday, or Joker. Irredeemable monsters who should be put down, for the good of everyone else.”
“But that's- We just can't-” Ubo starts, you glancing to him. Seeing the conflict on his face, something you're not used to seeing.
“General Karn. The people of this world need true strength, strength like yours to protect them. And those currently protecting this world are woefully inadequate for the task.” Ra's continues, turning to you. “But your arrival, that first time showed me the truth. You cannot bargain with evil, with monsters who seek only to conquer and destroy. They must be destroyed, utterly and completely. And to that end, I have started this new android project. If you would allow me, I would show you my vision.”
“Father?” Talia asks, eyes going wide. “Do you mean-?”
“Of course. Our friend, General Karn here. Or his wife, or even their son could have destroyed this entire city the moment they were through the doors.” Ra's answers her casually, turning and going to another door. Opening it and revealing another elevator. “They did not, because they seek the truth. And I wish to show it to them. Only... Ubo, you cannot come with us.”
“What? Why?” Ubo asks, suddenly suspicious. To which Ra's, still the picture perfect host continues.
“The room would kill you in minutes, at most. Between the Kryptonite and Red Sun lamps, you'd be so weak I would be afraid for your health.” the man says, his tone seeming to be genuinely apologetic. “Talia will let you join our conversation, at least hearing it, through the camera feeds so you won't miss what I will be showing them. Shall we?”
And you look from the elevator to Ra's inviting gesture, not sensing any malice or ill intent from him. But can you trust him? Should you?
Well?
>Agree, you're curious now. If it's a trap, you're sure you can easily destroy everything down here and get your family clear>Telepathically ask Meloka what she thinks, if you should hear him out and see what secret he's cooking>Decline, tell him those machines are too dangerous and that project needs to be shut down. You've seen how powerful they can become, and even one could threaten the universe>Other(write in)?
