->Take a look at the clock, Stanley. That's thirty seconds you have left to struggle. Thirty seconds until a [[SelfDestructMechanism big boom]], and then nothing. No ending here, just you being blown to pieces. Will you cling desperately to your frail life, or will you let it go peacefully? Another choice! Make it count. Or don't. It's all the same to me. All a part of the joke. And believe me, I will be laughing at every second of your inevitable life, from the moment we fade in until the moment I say: Happily Ever-

->[[ButNowIMustGo With Cthulhu’s passing]], a new order overtakes the planet. Civilization is in ruins, and the governments of the world are left impotent. Communication is difficult or impossible, and most surviving human communities have little concept of what is happening beyond their doors. Yet, everywhere it is much the same. [[FishMen The Deep Ones]] continue to press their relentless attack, enslaving and exterminating humans as it pleases them, with the aid of the [[{{Cthulhumanoid}} Star Spawn]].
->[[ApocalypseHow/Class2 Humanity’s numbers are drastically reduced]]. Although any sort of accurate estimate is impossible, it is clear that the better part of the population died or was driven irrevocably mad during Cthulhu’s brief reign of terror. Now, [[DownerEnding a new and unending nightmare begins]], as the Deep Ones continue to round up survivors for unspeakable ends.

->Perhaps humans never had a civilization of their own at all. [[DownerEnding Maybe they were just borrowing it from the Anunnaki]].
