3. As our hearts sadden for the fate of Cubee, our eyes move up the page, drawing hope from the warm sun shining down on this magical land. Though there is an American flag flying patriotically near the structure in the background, the power of the sun obviously exerts more far-reaching presence. Curiously, the sun appears to be modeled from a design used by the Japanese who fought against the Americans in World War 2. The Japanese were allied with the Germans, who killed millions of Jews during that war. The Jews were rounded up and put on trains that took them to their new homes in the "death camps". In the picture there is a school bus. Who or what is in the bus? Are its passengers of the same race as the aggregate pulling the wagon? Or those being pulled in the wagon? Germany's capital itself was divided into two parts, separated by "the Berlin Wall". In the picture of the magical land in the advertisement we see there is also a wall. The territory on the far side of the wall appears to be under Japanese control where American nationals are allowed to keep some of their customs, such as flying their flag outside the workplace. It is less obvious who controls the territory in the foreground. Though there may be some form of electronic surveillance, the checkpoint in the wall appears to be unguarded, implying a formally recognized alliance between the powers of these two territories. If we attempt an historical interpretation of this scene, it would lead us to believe that the aggregates in the foreground represent the industrious Germans. Perhaps the scene is a depiction of an alternate historical path in which the Axis powers defeated the Allies and took control of the United States. Or is the scene depicting an alternate reality in which human life has been eradicated and inanimate objects have come to life in order to mindlessly reenact scenes from the remnants of our written history? If so, what drives the aggregates to do so? What do they hope to accomplish?

4. What do the aggregates want from us? How can we appease them? Can we do so before it's too late?
