Letters to Corps Coon: #3
Dear Corps Coon:
I am thankful just as you are that CNG is dead, but the question I had about it was this, even if you're the wrong one to ask: when it was still alive, the superpowers it gave you and all the DCI members of the G-52s identical superpowers, but it also gave you the ability to earn money playing pinball the same way it did Cripto, Lotto Lion, Quiz King, and Cash Cat. Do you know why that is? One thing that always bothered me about CNG was its desires for a simple world like Kriegland where everybody thought alike, liked and hated the same things, and would have punished people for wanting to be caught up with the modern times. It caught me off guard to discover that His Majesty, King Leo V, wanted to be caught up, but Kriegland wouldn't have even had radio, let alone television, as we know it today, until the year on the calendar read 3012!
I do thank you for taking the time to read this, though. My son says he looks to you as his biggest inspiration, since he now plays for Santa Clara Vanguard, although he's in the pit playing the vibraphone.
Sincerely,
Ingrid Bolton, age 40 (human being)
Santa Clara, California, USA
Corps Coon's reply:
Dear Ingrid:
While CNG had indeed given us the ability to earn money playing pinball like that, it later reversed the effects and took it away from us so that only the top for Money Moguls (Cripto, Lotto Lion, Quiz King, and Cash Cat) can still do this, but they now have limiters on when they can and cannot do this. My guess was that it was trying to set us up for our own doom in the end, because while it was concentrating on ending the human race because it was "too savage of a race," it also wanted a world of peace identical to the aforementioned planet that is Kriegland. To get what it wanted, there would be no superheroes. Thus, it had a double standard going where it would give the G-52s (and specific allies) their powers, but then get them framed for all sorts of trouble. It would also have to brainwash the public into hating them with a passion, so that the events in the first early monents of "The Incredibles" (the first film) would be reality. I don't have to tell you why that is if you know the movie. (I do because I arranged the music from that film for the various drum and bugle corps units of Drum Corps International, as well as the G-52 Drum and Bugle Corps. I've written marching band arrangements as well, but I was a Cadet for many years; that's why my superhero name is Corps Coon.)
My guess, therefore, is that the CNG made us Money Moguls (although just temporarily) because, according to what the C.I.D.F. told me, it wanted all of us to be accused of destroying the world's economies by making everything worthless. This is why the tabloids at one point were relentlessly pursuing Cripto, trying to destroy him, because he was accused of doing such a thing, even if he did it in his sleep. (True story; he went to bed after having a bad day one Friday night, and the nation was in a debt it couldn't pay. He must have muttered something in his sleep the next day, because when he woke up, he discovered the nation had enough money to pay the debts off for generations to come. I can't remember the exact number.) It would start a chain reaction of anti-superhero propaganda, and it also make our strongest allies, the UN1024 Squadron, look bad. Then it would start to kill the humans for not believing in superheroes. See what's happening? Double standard after double standard. No wonder it committed suicide in the end. The world can finally relax and embrace the future without any fears or embarrassments.
Hope that helps, and thank you for writing to me. If not, feel free to write back and let me know what I missed. I'm also honored to know I was your son's biggest inspiration, and I salute him for performing with Santa Clara Vanguard. Though I was a Cadet through and through, I respected all the corps that performed in DCI, and still do to this day.
Yours truly,
Ringo Jamestown III, a.k.a. Corps Coon

Chuong: That extra money and wealth goes to encouraging people to get married and produce lots of children within wedlock these days. That way, the towns can grow too, not just the cities. There's a reason why your dear President formed the Manifest Destiny 2.0 plan.
Zax: Along with advanced nuclear energy and more jobs allowing more people to work from home. The average man enjoys working for construction companies from home involving the use of automated machines linked to the internet to build buildings without much labor. Thus makes it easier for them to spend more time with their wives and children.
Elias: Repeats the cycle to maintain and improve our civilization as well too. Don't forget hospitality robots. There's more demand for that than healthcare.
Richard: The visualized futuristic 21st century has finally arrived thanks to Leo.
Zax: LED lighting, 3D printing, gigapresses, working from home, self-driving minibuses, maglev trains, tall smart houses, promotion of sports, internet, farming towers, smartphones, assessment-based education, tiny mighty public 360 cameras, streets lined with trees, environmental sustainability, list goes on. No better time for marriage and children for many with prosperity in the era of Leo.
Chuong: And survivability and endurance against natural disasters, which your country has a lot of.
Zax: And yet, we're still standing strong.

Corps Coon: It is something I was happy about. More kids from the family means more opportunities for them to partake in the gift that is music if they so desire to do it. I can tell you that my newest neighbors are a pair of hyenas who have eight kids in all, and all of them are playing for Wildcat City's own entry to DCI, the Royal Rumblers.
Marching Wonder: *me* You'll also find the green tiger drumming prodigy that is Chad Beaton. Blue and I interact with him a lot, especially after CNG had gotten to him.
Super C: And as a result, on his 18th birthday, he'll automatically become an actual G-52 just as the rest of the DCI recruits have. He'll be the Justice Musician.
Leo: I am also happy to see that MD 2.0 is going along wonderfully. It works with these new technological advancements, but it also works if people still learn some of the old-fashioned methods, so that they'll have something to fall back on when the new methods fail or break down. Technology isn't perfect; it's bound to break down. Well, unless T2 is the one who invented it.
*Some laughter.*
T2: Thanks, bro. No, sometimes my stuff breaks down also. Trial and error.

Zax: My hometown has lots of growing opportunities for those interested in joining the marching bands of our numerous sports teams. We are the sports capital of Texas. I'm sure you've met our bands there. We've twinned up because BMA produces the perfect candidates for our marching bands and we want to let Wildcat City know that we have room for their musicians too.
Corps Coon: Who knows? Maybe you also add a drum and bugle corps to your town for future DCI competitions. I love both, though, and I've your marching bands, yes. This includes all those Minotaurs serving as Drumbums.
Galaxy Wolf: Note to self; a marching band and a drum and bugle corps are not the same thing.
Corps Coon: No; they aren't, even if they both use identical percussion. There are no woodwind instruments in a drum and bugle corps; just the percussion and brass. You'll find brass instruments you wouldn't normally see in a marching band, though, like the flugelhorn and the mellophone.
