The alien is killed in the assault at the farmhouse - and energy released in its destruction will reach Wise Snake, causing it to gradually stir until it awakens one week later. Its stirring will cause underground/seismic activity that may prompt an evacuation of Locke City. +PROS: More time is allowed for last minute/final planning (both ICly and OOCly) toward the Wise Snake battle and the Season 1 finale after the farmhouse assault; characters who partook in the farmhouse raid or other recent plots of similar nature will have time to recover; less non-reincarnates around = less chance of being identified. -CONS: We will enter Season 2 more slowly; it is possible that by the end of the build-up period, not all characters whose players were interested in participation would ICly be present in Locke City for Wise Snake’s rampage.
