Ruler: What plan will you follow now?

Eros: Plan 9. It’s been absolutely impossible to work through these Earth creatures. Their soul is too controlled.

Ruler: Plan 9...ah yes. Plan 9 deals with the resurrection of the dead. Long-distance electrodes shot into the pinion pituitary glands of recent dead. Have you attempted any of this plan as yet?

Eros: Yes Excellency.

Ruler: How successful has it been?

Eros: We have risen two so far. We shall be just as successful on more.

Ruler: The living...they have no suspicion of your movements?

Eros: We had to dispose of one policeman. However, none of those risen have been seen. At least, not by anyone who still remains alive.

Ruler: It’s too bad it must be handled this way. However it must. Those who take from the grave will lead the way for our other operations.

Eros: Yes, Excellency.
