Despite the efforts to suppress and control during the last year an echo of the Mayan apocalypse remains. Perhaps, like a scream through the halls of time, it will bounce back and forth, echoing into every year and bringing with it new threats and old enemies.

- Montgomery de la Roche: (noticing you waking up) Ah, there you are.

- Montgomery de la Roche: However, my esteemed colleague whom I respect and care very much for
- Montgomery de la Roche: disagrees with that assessment. Vehemently.
- Montgomery de la Roche: And I must admit that the evidence appears to be bearing him out.
- Montgomery de la Roche: (calling back over his should to Arun, who is still in the truck) Did you hear that Arun? I am admitting that I was wrong.
- Montgomery de la Roche: (back to you again) I may have called his Mayan theories "New Age Poppycock."
- Montgomery de la Roche: He then called me a stuffy old goat. So I called him a Morninglight apologist.
- Montgomery de la Roche: He called me an insensitive fart. I called him a self-centered Bollywood reject who I wouldn't...

Report
Dragon
The Mayan inscription signals the beginning of the end of days. It is a period - the length of which very much depends on us.
Ultimately, we believe the world will end with a whimper, not a bang. The child will scream softly in the end. But that doesn't mean there won't be a thousand bangs that come right before.
Bang. Bang. Bang.
The harbingers do not tread lightly. Each step resonates like the march of a thousand armies. And they aren't even the worst of what is out there.
Illuminati
These kinds of predictions are a dime a dozen. Most of the time they're right, but there's no such thing as a clean break.
Example : we've got verified prophecies that say the Council should've fallen by now. The council is pretty much impotent and penniless. But technically they're still kicking. That doesn't mean the prophecies were wrong, just that we need to be open in how we interpret them.
The Mayans predicted the end of this age. There are going to be signs of this across the world that you need to deal with. Is it all going to come crashing down on one specific date ?
Maybe.
But I'm betting it gets dragged out.

Y2K fizzled out and the crazies are desperate to latch onto another apocalyptic date. Pardon my skepticism, but for now I'm leaning toward the "poppycock, pure rot" school of thought on this one.
Feel free to convince me there really is something to this Mayan End of the World talk. I suppose it's not out of the question that all the alarmist hype has in fact been covering up something of substance.
However, if you try to sell me on "spiritual alignments" and shove a Morninglight pamphlet in my face, our relationship shall come to a decisive end.
