Oh, Wendell... you obviously do not know the creepy-ass power of toy soldiers, especially amassed and marching without any obvious controls.
Of course, I just watched Barbarella for the first time last night, so I'm not exactly unbiased when it comes to toys being creepy. Those fucking dolls, man...
I am currently reading E.T.A. Hoffmann's The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, which is the work that - I think now I can reveal it - the Drosselmeyer Protocol is a reference to. (Also spelled "Drosselmeier", or "Droßelmeier" in the original German version.)
And yep, an army of toy soldiers going into battle is indeed a part of that story!
Eh, Neil, this is a cooperative joint with Microraptor, so no, we're not going anywhere skeezy with this. Stand by for something... different. You will appreciate it, however!
