YOU'RE WELCOME. ]

Greetings! My name is Kyuubey. I've been here for some time now, but I need advice from you all... Well, primarily from the humans amongst you. Namely, what should my purpose be in this universe, when my job was to save mine? If I am the result of a failed line of causality, and this a place that collects the detritus from inadequate realities, what is the purpose of our continued existence? We cannot cease to exist from our own desire, which would imply that we are meant to be, but can anyone claim to have contributed something to this reality? Does anyone believe they have a future, or any potential whatsoever, as long as they exist in this tower?

I'm asking only because as unbalanced, emotional species, you are much more likely to produce a rationale for your existence! The logical answer - that we have no future and no present - doesn't really work, does it? We're gonna keep going anyway... I thought I'd find out what you thought, and see if there was something I can do.

Well, it doesn't matter much. Since I have as little meaning here as you guys, let's all be friends!

Unfortunately, I witnessed my universe being unmade.

[ wow Kyuubey is baffled. The concept of individual agency is so entirely human that it just sits there, a buzzing presence around Doom's mind. ]

"Your" universe, perhaps. I, however, was in the middle of something that would otherwise have warned me about the imminent destruction of my world again. Wherever Galactus the Almighty was, he was not on Earth.

[Whatever this...."Kyubey" was, it wasn't a Brood. Thankfully.]

Therefore, a coincidental alternative is in place. Doom has already formulated several theories as it is in regards to this debacle. Speak of your goals now while you have the chance, alien, for there may be a future yet as long as Doom yet lives.

[ incubator shrug equivalent ] My goal was to foil entropy and prevent the otherwise inevitable death of the universe by harvesting energy from humans.

...

[....okay, so maybe it was closer to the Brood than was originally thought...still--]

Such a thing, if true, is now meaningless, alien. Although I would expect nothing less from a paltry xeno such as you and--by extension--your entire race. Speak clearly, then, what keeps you from moving forward despite a rather inconvenient change in circumstance. Doom does not hold one's past against them so long as they prove useful in the present or future!

[ It's a pity insults don't really work, but hey, they're interesting. ] The function I carried out has been nullified, either by our circumstances or by a shift to the reality we are currently in.

As I have said...

[A king is not a king here, a princess is not a princess here...]

...your existence here is now only defined by current action. I was once placed into the middle of a war--a secret war, as it were--without meaning or any forewarning. When once one now ruled, it was time for a temporary change! And Doom was victorious once more! Because Doom acts by miracles of science and magic, so is it always described in any world that he rules!

What say you, alien? Are you not inclined to be interested?

[ since it normally avoids adults, this is new. ]

I suppose I could. It is a pretty interesting idea!

Only a wise mind would accept Doom's presence as interesting! Yes...

[His eyes light up with green energy.] For what better a chance to prove one's worth than a place where none know of their existence prior? Doom merely intends to broaden his knowledge, as is the quest of all sapient beings in the universe! If you would join me, I would see it felicitous that you were to see what paths I could show you...
