Feb 2 clarifies explicitly that Schlock's goal was to "take over the world before it even knew it had to attack"
Now we
know for sure he wants to take over the world. But why?
Because he's a colossal coward. "They
forced me into this! On their heads be it!"
He seems to think, rightfully, to a point, the only way he can be "safe" is if everyone else in the world is under his absolute control. Or dead (Kusari). Or fluxed (ala 4U City).
Kinda like how humans tend to deal with competitive/predatory predators in general. Kill em all. Wolves, Tigers, Lions, Puma's, Jaguars, the list is endless. I wonder how involved we were in the sabre-toothed cats' (who weren't actually related to modern cats, just a superficial resemblance, I think) extinction.
I have the sick feeling Schlock is trying to be a 1 man (plus Hereti-Corp) extinction event.
Which then leads one to spec just how influenced Schlock is by The Bug he originally ran from. Hmmmmm...
The Bug can be super-sneaky, and can play a LONG game. I wonder if some of the Fate-lines he re-arranged (through Gwynn) back in Mohkadune lead to him owning a piece of, thus permitting him to influence, Schlock.
Hmmmmmm... (again)
