->'''[[StrangeJourney Ace]]''': Captain Jack was a Captain with a squad who also explored the Schwartzwelt and we gave them some of our technology so they can help us back.

->'''Memphat'ran:''' This isn't too hard to rationalize, they [[DeathFromAbove bombard the planet with assloads of some napalm-like incendiary]], [[KillItWithFire enough to ignite firestorms large enough to burn much of the Earth's terrestrial biomass]].
