The Old Hack

Look, I told you about summoning these, inadvertently or otherwise. If you manage to wipe out large parts of Oklahoma with one of them I will give you a warning point.

Strong tea with sugar.
Because I've given up candy and soda, my daily "treat" is a spoon full of Nutella, either in a cup of coffee or, if I'm out of coffee, straight from the jar.  One teaspoon per day, that's the limit.  I have tried it with raspberry jam in rice and that was "meh".  Will not do again.  Jam in rice,1 yes, with Nutella, no.  And NEVER put Nutella in tea.  I think that mixture might actually summon one of the nastier elder gods.
 
1Jam or jelly is a given with oatmeal. That or one of the mini cans of fruit. Or both.

If they had phasers and modern body armor it wouldn't matter.  Doesn't stop small pox and it's friends.

Yes it was, but that doesn't change the fact the "grok" wasn't from Star Trek, but from "Stranger in a Strange Land"
Back on topic here.
If other members of the US intelligence community (or any countries intelligence communities really) other than DGB knew about immortals and their ability to be any where and not be detected they would collectively crap a brick. Enough bricks to build a fairly large building, maybe even a pyramid the size of those in Giza. Of course getting an immortal to act as a spy for a group of humans might be tricky, but not impossible. Pandora might do it for the chaos it would cause. If as Pandora claims that the three letter agencies are willing to kill for Sarah's power, what would they do for the ability to be in first person real time fully undetectable?

Kinda tame really compared to some.

We still don't know who or what was responsible for the betrayal that got Magus stuck in the in-between world in the first place. Maybe it was the Colonel.

Morons was not the term I used.  It did start with an M and end with an S. just the middle bits where not the same.
And for the record it wasn't "Mexican Rap Singers" either.

That is a fantastic metaphor for the internet. 

/me NOBODY GET A BLOODY GOLD STAR.  THEY GET ELDER RUNES.
 

Speak for yourself!  If we don't want peers then why do we tend to gather in groups with people who are good at and enjoy the same things we do?  Why would someone smart go out of their way to join Mensa to find others equally smart and to be in a Gathering where they are completely ordinary, instead of just joining a more conventional group where they could always be the smartest person in the room?  Why would so many people have fought so hard, suffered and sacrificed and died, in order to free slaves and end Jim Crow, even though every Freedom Ride bus was half-filled with people who were white and thus would only lose relative status by your theory?  Why would we have expressions like "A rising tide lifts all boats" and have the concept that society is not a Zero Sum Game?
I'm glad I live in my world and not the one you describe, which would be a very depressing place.

That's actually not true.  He had only a single company of Spaniards.  When he arrived at Tenochtitlan he also had a few thousand Cholulans and quite a lot (Diaz says 100,000, but that's probably exaggerating even for just the number of troops they had, let alone sent along) of Tlaxcalans too.  Cortes was a skilled political player, and not just in Mexico, he won most of his political battles in Cuba and back in Spain to.
 

So very much so.

Yup, there's growing evidence that the previous inhabitants of the Americas were far, far more numerous, sophisticated, and technological than they've been given credit for.  The travelers on the Mayflower found a deserted town and carefully managed orchards waiting for them, left behind when all but one of the inhabitants dies in a plague which had swept the coast.  Europeans remarked on how easily they could move through the forests, never considering that it was because they weren't wild places, but closer to orchards and parks.  Even Lewis and Clark found that devastating plagues had beaten them to most of the places they explored.  (The linked article is long, but worth it!)

That doesn't mean Dan can't make use of old plot points in creative ways. Remember how Diane revealed she knew Nanase had magic?

 
All joking aside, it was the germs from the old world, not the human invaders that allowed the European occupation of both North and South America.

 
Yeah. Afterwards there is the fun of picking up the pieces only to find that they don't fit together anymore.

...back when you were young and "Hungry Like A Wolf" perhaps?  )

 
Yeah. Afterwards there is the fun of picking up the pieces only to find that they don't fit together anymore.

Damien was also narcissistic in the extreme and dumber than a sack of rocks. Even with what little I knew of him, I would consider him incapable of an acting job that would so convincingly portray a completely different person.

Assuming you knew *how* they fit together...
It's trial and error combined with the fact that some pieces explode when they touch.

 
Regardless I am so stealing the 7 dragons and poltical parties bit.

Big time....

Being broken sucks.

Kinda tame really compared to some.

It also didn't hurt that he brought along an invisible army of billions of very lethal soldiers. Also known as a number of very virulent diseases that Europeans had resistance to but the local population had no defences against. The resulting epidemics wiped out unbelievable numbers of people and had an extremely demoralising effect on the Aztecs. It got so bad that they prepared their most powerful ritual in order to appease their gods. This involved the sacrifice living a year pampered as a prince and then to be publicly given to the Gods. (I believe this was referred to as 'The Ritual of the Smoking Mirror', referring to the God Tezcatlipoca.)
The sacrifice victim fell sick shortly before the ritual. When they hauled him out to be sacrificed, he quite literally fell over dead on the way to the altar. To call the resulting effect on the populace 'screaming panic' would not even BEGIN to cover it.
