(Carbuncle Shack. Enter Spyros)

SPYROS: Alright everyone! Everyone! Strategic meeting! Strategic meeting!

(Enter Nicolaos)

NICOLAOS: When, sire?
SPYROS: Right now
NICOLAOS: Oh joy!
SPYROS: Anyone else coming to the meeting?
NICOLAOS: Well Pericles is somewhere far away and Mira...
SPYROS: Yes...?
NICOLAOS: I'd rather not say
SPYROS: And lets leave it at that shall we?

(Enter Mira)

MIRA: Strategic meeting?
SPYROS: Ah...yes!
MIRA: AHAHAHAHAHHAWOWOOWOWOWOHAXXORHAHAHH13371337WOOWOWOWOWOWAHAHEEHEHEHEHEHEHEEHEHEEEHEHEBLAAAAAAAARHGGHABALAAAAAAAGH.....HAHAHAHAHHA!

(Exit Mira)

NICOLAOS: Ah, I believe she has...lost it, sire
SPYROS: I see. Anyway! That strategic meeting...?
NICOLAOS: Well! Ghandi died so theres a large space beside us...and Pacal is very, very close to us
SPYROS: In relationship? Or borders?
NICOLAOS: Both. Declaring war now may band us as a traitor to the world
SPYROS: So? What's the problem with that?
NICOLAOS: Us included, there are a total of 39 civilizations in the world with our information. We may begin a chain reaction and...
SPYROS: World war against us?
NICOLAOS: Exactly. Apparently, the AI's are smarter than they were before and will call up their friends to declare war on us. Plus we have no friends at the moment
SPYROS: Wheres all the other civilization data? Wheres our foreign advisor?
NICOLAOS: Uhh...
SPYROS: Ah, right...anyway, how do we deal with Pacal?
NICOLAOS: An easy solution is our culture! We can use our culture to capture alot of their land as well as capture the land to the west
SPYROS: How is their culture?
NICOLAOS: Far behind ours
SPYROS: Terrific! Get them angry so they will declare war on us!
NICOLAOS: If they can. We can get help easier too if they attack us
SPYROS: Anyway, we still need a death stack of units
NICOLAOS: Being the military advisor...thats...your job, sire
SPYROS: But while I'm sitting on this awesome cushy chair, I assign that job to you
NICOLAOS: As long as I'm not the foreign advisor, I'm good with anything
SPYROS: Ok! Meeting over!
NICOLAOS: Yes sir!

SCOUT 1: Difference is the wonder of life!
PERICLES: Different wonders?

NICOLAOS: Let me remind you, sire, that she is different from when she was in Pacifist's 18 Civ story
SPYROS: Hah! Snakes always keep their old skin when they shed!
NICOLAOS: Ah sire, that made no sense
