Message: <blockquote data-quote="The_Universe" data-source="post: 2970239" data-attributes="member: 8944">My personal argument would be, if it comes up, that the communists as yet seem unwilling or unable to openly oppose Allied forces on the world stage; the seeds of a strategic competition have certainly been sown, but the Communist idea of world domination (more akin to a world-wide class war) presents a far less immediate threat than the Nazis. The Nazis, after all, made a decent effort at conquering the globe even without power armor and Atlantean-derived super treatments. With a whole world, rather than merely a whole nation at the Nazis disposal, we must be extra wary. These Nazis, I would point out, are not limited to any particular territorial area should they choose to open a front in the "real world." They may attack anywhere, at any time. Thus, they must be stopped on a battlefield of our choosing. Otherwise, we risk allowing who or whatever now leads the Nazis to choose it for us. Not a pleasant idea. Though I do not want to abandon the very real conflicts in the material world, we must either subdue the Nazis in Atlantis, or somehow isolate, destroy, and/or sever whatever planar gates still connect that world to ours.I have no doubt that this latter option would be easier than single-handedly winning an extraplanar war. However, it is at best a temporary solution. Though we might isolate our Earth from Atlantis in the short term, the Nazis need only find a gateway to another plane that remains adjacent to ours, and then return here from there. This, of course, begs the question - is isolating earth from ALL planes an option?Any idea what they were/are hiding? Perhaps we need to mount an expedition to a now-abandoned Atlantean outpost? Is there anything of potential use that could be gleaned from such a place? What capabilities does Nereus, our erstwhile ambassador, possess?Is there a warrior class of some sort? Any evidence of a resistence against the invaders? Harmonious ideals aside, we will likely need allies if we're to prosecute this war in relative isolation.</blockquote>
