Would not the end of the world supercede any lesser, temporal affairs?

Wherever this is, it's not where I'm from. I don't have any responsibility over it or the people here.

Carthage was basically sterilized by Rome in my timeline

Well, that's impossible. We're too strong now for that to happen.

I would not be so certain about that, were I in your situation.

That doesn't surprise me.

They almost did the same on the capital.

Though- that was- like- after the Irish-Carthaginian War, which was after the Red Winter.

And- two world wars.

Some genius in Rome- talked his government into giving him a boat to put an experimental bomb on it- to sail it into Carthage itself. The atom bomb.

That's when the world learnt about nukes- an unprovoked attack during a time of peace.

The lengths Rome went in its' hatred of Carthage- came to a crux at that point.

The international community decided it was best that Rome would be divided, and never whole.

Carthage as a nation managed to survive- the other half of their leadership was in the South Americas, speaking with a recently independent ex-colony of Carthage.

I would only be summoned if there was some impending doom. Perhaps it would be suitable to consider me both a harbinger and an...

Well, an ally, for lack of a better word.

You said yourself that your summoning might have been botched. If that's the case, then it stands to reason that you might be wrong about why you're here. Maybe some other place is in danger.

There's not a whole lot that I can do. I'm an administrator without the rest of the civil service here with me. Or the military.

Yeah- I kinda gathered.

... I suppose Neanderthals don't exist where you're from either?

All that I can ask of you is to be cautious, and to remain steadfast and sure of heart. Whatever this impending calamity is, we shall surely defeat it.

no those existed, but they were overshadowed and I believe driven to extinction by homo sapiens.

I guess. But, really- I can't do much. It'll be other people dealing with it, not me.

They did- a little bit better where I'm from.

They're- not really extinct.

But- their population is always smaller than ours.

Co-existence.

Perhaps not. But if you are an administrator, then you should know the powers that a word can hold. After all - armies are nothing without orders.

Of course. I'm no stranger to how important it is to speak carefully and intelligently. Quickly as well, if the circumstances allow it.

The problem with comparing to it to armies is that mine is far, far away. They aren't here to take my commands.

I understand the intent of what you're saying, and you're right, but I'm not in a good spot to act on it. Not yet.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?
