No, they don't want us to attack them. That's not the same thing.
According to the most recent update, it appears that the girls want to avoid any violent conflict with us. On the other hand, if/when we do absorb them, we
will have to deal with hostile magical girls and demons from Tokyo. Looks like we need to do some more PvP training before we try to recruit them.
Why did humans create an atomic bomb that could annihilate millions in a single instance? Why did they test it, despite some suspicion that it would set off a chain reaction that would burn the entire atmosphere?
Not really. According to Wikipedia "Teller also raised the speculative possibility that an atomic bomb might "ignite" the atmosphere because of a hypothetical fusion reaction of nitrogen nuclei. Bethe calculated that it could not happen, and a report co-authored by Teller showed that "no self-propagating chain of nuclear reactions is likely to be started."" So it was speculated as a possibility early on, but then they did the research to prove that it wasn't actually a danger before they actually did the tests. Like (moderately) sane people.
The "Why would people do something so maliciously evil and useless?" point is not a strong argument.
The original argument was "Historically, we have examples of sabotage hunting, so it might happen again." My argument was "Historically, sabotage hunting has had disastrous consequences, and the people we're specifically worried about getting into conflict with have
learned from those consequences, so we don't have to worry overly much about sabotage hunting." TheEyes responded with a speculative example of remote sabotage hunting based on intentionally spawning Class 3s. This is getting rather away from the original discussion (since it's not based on how things happened in Tokyo or Nagoya), but I commented that even this tactic would be stupidly risky bordering on suicidal. Some people might be crazy enough and hateful enough to throw their lives away for a chance of hurting others, but that kind of malicious evil is
uncommon, even in PMMM. We mostly have to deal with people who are selfish and paranoid; as long as they know about the risks of Class 3 demons, we don't have to worry about sabotage hunting from them.
Range is still a factor though, and the usual result of an out of range attempt is just a fizzle.
Hmmm. Due to the size of our territory, we may need to have multiple teleport locations so that all of our hunters will be able to safely teleport away.
The death rate in Hong Kong is catastrophic at this point. World Health Organization doctors in the area have apparently isolated the cause as an incredibly dangerous virus, more virulent then anything seen before, and airborne to a degree. Though it is not understood why it hasn't spread further already given how much travel Hong Kong saw before the quarantine. It's speculated that there may be some environmental factor which enables the disease. Fatality rate is as far as anyone can tell total. Many believe that it must be engineered, though WHO is unwilling to comment on that. The purpose is unclear if that is the case though. Chinese authorities have instituted a substantial burn zone around the infected region in an effort to further ensure containment.
Ominous. This looks like the "final solution" that Kyuubey was proposing for Tokyo. We need to start making progress on those Class 3 demons or Tokyo will probably go the same way as Hong Kong.
Unfortunately Nagoya's ongoing efforts have not been enough to turn the general course of events in Tokyo. One of the few remaining fortified positions was overrun, numerous elites were killed in the course of a single battle and the situation is increasingly desperate. Some are suggesting it may only be months before the only ones left are new recruits.
Tokyo is getting worse, and the existing meguca are incapable of handling it. Outside help (i.e. Nagoya and us) is required.
Nagoya's expedition to Tokyo was about as inconclusive as ever. They took only minor damage in exchange for killing a single Class 3 before being forced to withdraw by reinforcements.
I propose that we reach out to Nagoya and offer support for their next expedition to Tokyo. Picking off the demons one or two at a time is definitely better than expanding North and running into packs of them or waiting for the incubators to sterilize Tokyo.
