So I had something here but I went off on a tangent. What if someone, somehow, got a message out?

To whom, you might ask...to which I respond: who other than the staff? In this scenario they're presumed to be effective gods; use of commands comes as naturally as breathing and does not require speech. There are two outcomes, depending on the rank of the staff member that shows up:

One: A staff member (admin or moderator) shows up. This ends badly for the Marines. Recall: staff members are sometimes capable of creating matter from nothing, shielding themselves from any harm , killing anyone they have knowledge of , and always capable of teleporting , outright excising people from reality ( and  ), making themselves invisible , modifying gravity and friction relative to themselves (  and  ), and other things. If this happens, it's likely that the invasion fails, but not impossible. The second outcome, however...

Two: An editor shows up. This ends in a literal curbstomp. In general, one can expect blatant reality warping well beyond a Marine unit's (or anyone's, really) capacity to handle. In my case...the Black File would open, and the tools within would be unleashed. Orbital lasers, teleporting ships, space stations, esoteric physics traps...and that's just the start. There is little they can do to stop me - I can escalate far further than they can, for beyond all others lies REDACTED, the only true weapon within the File. Some of you may have seen its lesser brethren; none of you have seen REDACTED. In this case, there is no effective chance of victory for the Marines. They withdraw, or they are removed.

The archipelago is guarded by more than its inhabitants, and woe be unto those who must learn this.

And now I'm going to bed, and chasing an inquisitive kitten out of the trashcan.
