Hello Greenpeace! I want to play a game... Do you remember me? Since I was born you've been figthing with me, trying to destroy me... I can still clearly see your relentless efforts to wipe me out from this world... Relentless - though futile! Because today I'm even stronger, and my name is no longer "pollution", it's POLLUTION now! And you? Where are all your friends now?! Your miserable members, nobody even remembers their names nowadays. Where is your legendary power?! All that you have left is this... fence?! Ha, Ha, Ha! So, let's see if this gonna stop me! It's time for our last ultimate fight! Don't worry, I'm not gonna be too harsh... at the begining. Just few stinky spots at first. But if you manage to fight them, things will turn really gross! I've got barrels full of toxic waste, I've got radioactive trash which cannot be mixed together, unless you want to approach critital mass, and get Mother Earth evaporated - well, it's okay with me, but your friends wouldn't take it very easy... So if you don't want to lose your last allies I guess you should work really hard this time! Can't wait to see your sweat and your eyes full of FEAR! Abandon all hope those who enter my kingdom, the pollution will win! You cannot defeat me, but of course you are welcomed to try!
