Man's diplomatic policy is to never publicly demonstrate weakness. I'm sure most of the other nations have been under the impression that Man has everything well in hand. For the most part this is true. We can at least defend ourselves and we have yet to suffer a loss that we could not recover from.

However, we project that in the near future this may not be the case. The resources of Mictlan far exceed ours and have exceeded ours for some time now. We estimate that the nation of Man will be overrun by demon bats before the year is through. So, in breaking with diplomatic policy... Help!
