Mly laid on the grass at the edge of his floating island, looking up at the full moon, which was poking through a hole in the clouds. "Ah, such a beautiful night," he said, turning to TARA and Shirely, his armor making a slight clank from shifting about. "Speaking of which...I believe it's about time to make the darkness last forever," he continued, picking up a small remote control next to him and pressing a small red button at the top-right corner in. "More evaporation means more rain. More rain means more clouds. More clouds means more blocked sunlight. More block sunlight means...an eternal, rainy night. And, TARA, I assume you know enough about biology to know what that means, yes?"
"Well, sir, plants need sunlight to survive, and all other life relies on plants, directly or indirectly through other creatures that in turn rely on plants, to survive. So...you intend to reduce worldwide food supplies?"
"Indeed. Soldiers that don't eat seldom fight, and even if they do they don't fight long, seeing as they'll eventually die without food. At the very least, my enemies will implement artificial sunlight on their crops, run into severe budget problems and likely still come out short on food." There was a long pause. "Now then," Mly finally continued, jumping to his feet with all the agility of a cat, "begin migrating the island toward the Sayelcixian capital. I'll have war-time negotiations to tend to when they realize the entire world is getting dark and drenched."
