Ten billion. Earth's gonna hit ten billion people soon...

"When the land overflows with ten billion apes, the moon will become Hell's messenger and destroy the world of the Spiral."

Dammit! Lord Genome, what the hell did you mean by that?!

[[Public]]Hey, uh. We've got some people here who've lived on the moon

What would you like to know?

[spiral_hero]

Well, first, let me ask this. Have you been back up to the moon any time between now and the fall of Teppelin?

[0moon_glasses0]

I returned intermittently while the Independence-1 was being built, and I still have limited communication with contacts there.

[spiral_hero]

Hm. All right...

Did you or anyone you know on the moon see anything...different about the moon in that period of time?

Lord Genome always did have a way with words... whatever that way was, though, beats the hell out of me.

[spiral_hero]

...So, he never told you?

[mr_catshark]

No. Nothing about the moon, anyway.

[spiral_hero]

Damn... I can't find a single lead around here.

*hack*

[second_runner]

Well, that's not ominous.

[spiral_hero]

No kidding. I just hope we can find out what the second part of that is before we hit ten billion.

The world of the Spiral? You think that might be Earth...?

I bet it is. The question is what the hell he meant about the moon.
