12/7/2009: Are you pleased with your handiwork, UltraMantis Black? Did you think the Bruderschaft would allow you to keep possession of the Eye of Tyr indefinitely? How you will grow to rue the day Dr. Cube gave you my father's name. And for what? What have you really accomplished in the time you held its power? You found a new sidekick. Bravo, Mantis. Bravo.

On this very site, you have boasted in your blogs about making CHIKARA your plaything. That your dominion over CHIKARA will be absolute. How you must delight in deluding yourself... but this is the effect the Eye has on the weak-minded. The collector who traded the Eye into my family's collection was much the same as you. An insect in a world of men.

Tell me, bug, how will you wage war against the Bruderschaft? Who can you trust? What if our 8th member is among your troops? Do you really trust Crossbones? Strange that he did not come to your aid on 22 November.

In many ways, Mantis, you have already defeated yourself. So now, watch helplessly as we rob you of what you claim to be yours. CHIKARA is no longer your plaything. It belongs to us, inside and out. I have studied the art of war for years before taking the moniker "Ares." The beauty of a battle plan is not in the overtures, but in the details. And as you have seen, my Bruderschaft is unmatched when it comes to executing a plan down to the smallest detail. We have stunned and incapacitated the whole of CHIKARA in a moment. Now observe how we will bend it to our will.

A warning to the rest of you: the Bruderschaft will be second to no one. You will each have your turn to be our cannon fodder. Your alliances are meaningless to us. We have infiltrated your factions and outsmarted you at every turn. When our final agent awakens, our army will be complete. Oppose us at your peril.

Im Namen der Bruderschaft,
ARES
