... Yo, did anybody else just see that on TV? "Future events such as these will affect you in the future", huh? As much as I'd like to criticise the fact that he was being captain obvious, I'm a tad concerned about what it could possibly mean here...

One would assume he means future events will effect us.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Right, well the future is the future, so of course it'll have an effect in the future.

[miraculous]

Well, that shouldn't be a surprise, then.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

The only problem is, what future events are going to be occurring?

[chaoschildofgod.livejournal.com]

I saw it. Considering the remarks, well, we'll get an interesting story I believe. Although likely a deadly or scary one. Fitting for Halloween, don't you think?

[Yet he doesn't sound amused, nor angry. Just faintly curious]

[slave_of_suzumiya]

I'd rather not have anything deadly or scary for a while.

(And by "a while", I mean to say... The rest of my life.)

[chaoschildofgod.livejournal.com]

I think many would rather not, but we'll get it anyway. Best to prepare, and take in any information we can.

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

I'm not too worried.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Well, I'm not in "panic!" mode yet, but I think it'd be a good idea to at least be wary of this.

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

Agreed. You should probably stick with Yuki during this, she's best suited to protecting you.

[macanese.livejournal.com]

So it wasn't just my television.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Apparently not.

[macanese.livejournal.com]

It sounded like some sort of propaganda, which doesn't sound farfetched from what I've seen and heard about this place. I wonder how concerned we should all be if this is a warning.

[brotherseyes.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I heard that. You don't think they're trying to give us some kind of hint, do you?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Who knows?

[brotherseyes.livejournal.com]

I have no idea. But there has to be some significance to it. They wouldn't show us something like that for no reason. Unless they're just toying with us again. "Future events"... "the rest of your lives"... is this their way of telling us we're never going to be able to leave?

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

The wording was indicative of something that would be expected to happen in the future. In the 1950s, fear of nuclear war was a common theme. That the tone was in alignment with that used on a venue of entertainment indicates a lesser threat; possibly extraterrestrial invasion as evidenced by the broadcast of the War of the Worlds in 1938.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Extraterrestrials, huh? By any chance, would you be able to phone home and tell the invaders to stay there?

[bogusmagicker.livejournal.com]

[Kyon is met with nothing but soft breathing.]

[theniwasroman.livejournal.com]

That... was not supposed to happen. I'm pretty sure.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

... Yeah, I'm pretty sure it qualifies as seriously bad news.

[theniwasroman.livejournal.com]

What's the general Mayfield plan, for this sort of thing?

[notawhale.livejournal.com]

Less "obvious" than "redundant". I am curious as to what this foretells.

[slave_of_suzumiya]

Both obvious and redundant I'd say.

[notawhale.livejournal.com]

That particular statement anyway. What they're actually foretelling remains a mystery though.
