    Well i think since london is not the biggest city, it will use MEDUSA to explode other cities. And blow up the Anti-traction league’s wall. The dangers using MEDUSA is that it caused the fallout.

  2. 1. Magnus is using the rediscovered weapon because he wants to take out smaller cities faster and taking full control of ALL the cities. The dangers using MEDUSA well,I don’t know I mean the dangers could be simply wiping out almost everything in existence. Then London would really have nothing to do,they wouldn’t be much of a moving city anymore, it would be easier for them to just be a normal country again. In my opinion we should put our 60 minute weapons in a military museum to remind people of all the horrible things that happened during our 60 minute war and to be grateful for what we have because other people may not have it…

    2.I actually would not like to live on a traction city because when my country or city would catch “prey”, where would the citizens living there go? Would they be prisoners for the rest of their lives?Would my country simply end all of their helpless lives? So i really would rather live on a airship or be the captain of that airship.

  3. I’m pretty sure Magnus Chrome was using MEDUSA to destroy the ATL’s wall, allowing them to easily attack the inhabitants inside the walls. The danger is revealed when MEDUSA backfires and DESTROYS ALL OF LONDON, NO KIDDING. The thing they should do with the weapons like MEDUSA is=NOTHING

    2) I guess i’d live on an airship instead of a traction city incase something bad happens (like another traction city comes and eats you up)

    Magnus Crome is using the weapon because he is scared that any of the cities bigger than London will eat them and he needs a weapon more powerful than any of the other city’s weapons so he can destroy them. The dangers of using this weapon are that it poisons the air and the earth and it destroys cities and all the people in them. There are children, animals, men and women that would all be killed. I think we should burn them all and get rid of them so that no one is in danger. I would prefer to live life as an airship captain. I think if I lived in that kind of a world I would feel more safe if I lived in the air because you can’t get eaten by other cities.

  5. 1.I think The Lord Mayor is using it because Medusa can eliminate a whole town in one whole stroke.It might explode because it could be unstable because Medusa is really old.We should keep them in case of world war 3 and we should do safety checks on the weapons.
    2. I would live on a Giant Traction city because a ship won’t be big enough and you won't be able to travel so Far.

  6. He is using MEDUSA to destroy other towns and the anti tractionist wall, the dangers of using MEDUSA are that his town people might go deaf or blind and it explodes things and that's not good, we should dispose of our weapons of destruction so we can doge our fate of certain death during world war 3 and our death which will still come even though we get rid of our weapons.
    Airship Captain because one it would be fun being the leader of an airship and two on a big city you don’t what rank you would be a peasant a high first class you don’t know.

  7. I believe that LOndon is using MEDUSA because London was being chased by bigger cities. One of the dangers about this massive weapon is that it could give of radiation and harm local Londoners. ALso other countries might want to find a weapon just as powerful or more. I would abolish the rule about using NUkes or Warheads in our 60 min war.
    I would prefer being a airship captain. THe reason i choose to be an airship captain is because a it is a lot more safe than being on a traction city. On a traction city every minute you are in danger. On a airship you can live longer.

Why is Magnus Crome, the Lord Mayor of London, using the rediscovered weapon? What are the dangers of using this weapon. In your opinion, what should we do about our 60 Minute War weapons?
    Magnus Crome is using the weapon to take down the wall that the Anti-Traction League has put up to defend them from traction cities. I think he is also using it to defend London from bigger towns. I think we should keep them but not have them pointed at major cities and just bases and silos.
    2. If you had a choice, would you want to live on a giant Traction City? Or would you prefer the life of an airship captain?
    I would rather be an airship captain for the fear of getting hit by MEDUSA or getting eaten and becoming a slave.

  9. I think that he is using the weapon to kill the city that is following him. I think another reason he wants to use the weapon is so he can destroy the Shield wall because he wants to attack Shan Gou. The dangers of using the MEDUSA could be that if something goes wrong you might destroy your own city. I would destroy them because if there were any more survivors they might have another war and all life could be killed.

    If I had the choice I would would live on a giant Traction City. But only if I could live on the top tear. If I couldn't I would probably be on the airship because the airship might be nice. I would pick top tear of a Traction City because I don’t like flying in planes.

  10. Magnus Chrome is using Madusa so he can break the shield wall to get into Shan-Guo to eat all the fields.The dangers of using this weapon would be it could go out of control and destroy everything. In my opinion what I would do with them is keep them.I would keep them so that if worst comes to worst I would use them.
    If I had a choice I would be a airship captain.I would be one because a captain gets a lot of respect.I would also be one because the quarters are comfortable.One more thing is the food tastes really good and it also looks good.

  11. I think that Magnus Crome wanted to use MEDUSA because he is an evil guy and wants to use the city London eat all resources he can find.


    One of the dangers of the weapon that I found was that it uses MAE power to attack.
    Another possibility is it may make a nuclear explosion like the Trinity test in Alamogordo, New Mexico.that

    I think we should destroy all of our weapons from the 60 minute war.


    If i had a choice than would live in a traction city because living in a non-moving city is pretty boring so living in a traction city can be pretty cool. Another reason i wanted to live on a traction city is because i would want to experience the excitement of eating towns.

    I would also like to a air shipian because then you don’t have to to live with so many people.
    Most air shipians are in the Anti-Traction League, if i were one i wouldn’t be an Anti-Traction League.

  12. Magnus crome is the lord mayor of London because he is scared about london and he still wants to rule.The dangers of using this weapon is that it is to powerful and can kill people easily.I think that we should use them but we need to think about very carefully. I am not saying that we shouldn't use them but just use them carefully.

    I would be an airship captain. I would not prefer the life of a giant traction city because i find it wrong to live on wheels. It is also dangerous and scary for me as i think about it. And i would be far from Medusa.

  13. I think Magnus Crome is using MEDUSA the rediscovered weapon again because he wants London to be safe so he can keeping to rule London and so he can keep take over other Traction City so he and London can be ever powerful so he can alway take over and destroy different Traction City so he can rule. MEDUSA is ever powerful but I think Magnus Crome should not use MEDUSA.

    I would like to be a airship captain because live on a giant Traction City would be ever dangerous. It would be dangerous because other Traction City can destroy you so that would not be safe but being airship captain would not be great but it is better than living in a Traction City it would be to dangerous.

  14. Magnus chrome is using the medusa weapon to destroy bigger cities trying to destroy London.
    He might send radioactive air into London and kill people.we should demolish all 60 minute war weapons so we can rebuild make a better world.Magnus crome could make the world very different.

    I would like to be an airship captain because i would be invulnerable to giant traction cities. And i would be in the air a lot. It would be hard to get attacked by pirates.and you would need to refuel all the time.

  15. I think 1 danger is that if he uses it could destroy his on city it also can destroy a section of the earth. The radiation in the bomb can kill anyone in the blast radius can die from radiation poisoning.
    I would perfer to live on an airship then living on a traction city because i woulded risk dying.I would also be more nimble to dodge attakes.

  16. With MEDUSA Magnus Crome can take over other cities and kill many people so MEDUSA gives him a lot of power. If others found out about MEDUSA with there spies then they would also want the ability to stand up to other countries with MEDUSA so he could have a target on his back. The dangers of using MEDUSA are that it could possible blow up if they if they didnt use it carefully, also it is not good for the air and the people that have to breath there air in. In my opinion we should hide or destroy all traces of them so no one can harm other cities.
    I would be a airship cation because you would have a longer life span. You would not be in so much harm or be threatened.

    I think that Magnus Crome has the only MEDUSA because he knows it is such a deadly weapon and if he uses it he will destroy and i think he wants to destroy because he wants everything to himself.

    2. I believe that the dangers of this deadly weapons are he can destroy everything and everything would be gone not that Magnus crome would care but another dangerous thing is that Magnus crome could even kill himself by mistake.

    3. Somethings that we should do to keep our world nice healthy i think that our weapons should be destroyed there is no reason for people to use these weapons in fighting but of course you can really destroy them because then again they would blow up and destroy humanity

    4. Would i rather be on a airship or a be in a traction city
    I don't know actually I would probably want to be with the Traction city because people with all of these bombs would find a way to kill the people in airships

  18. 1.if he'd really found MEDUSA. He wouldn't want anything to do with

    old-world weapons, anyway..." We should hide them or keep them only for the military or keep them safe and could be only used for that time. People can die in one swipe it said that in the book. I think they should confiscate or hide the weapons till there is a attack.2. I'd rather be living on a giant traction city because for one reason I get sick when i'm on planes/airships. I would get stressed and nervous. Also i wouldn't really care if a city was moving. (i'm also scared of heights.)

  19. I’m pretty sure Magnus Crome is using MEDUSA to help London hunt and take down other traction cities and to most likely defend themselves from bigger, better cities that’ll try to eat London. Didn’t Crome say they were heading toward Shan Guo’s Shield-Wall, the wall protecting the biggest Anti-Traction-League(ist) city? Yes, I think he did, since Anna Fang also knows about this plan. There could be many dangers to using MEDUSA, like MEDUSA malfunctioning or if some other city eats London, they could abuse MEDUSA’s powers and do something seriously wrong. In my opinion, we should maybe SAFELY get rid of our 60 Minute War weapons because they are so broken (broken meaning overpowered) that NO ONE should ever bear witness to or experience the monstrosity of all these nuclear weapons. It’s just too much.

    If I had a choice, I would live in… Neither a traction city or an airship. I’d live in a nice area island of some sort with a peaceful community doing no harm. I’d also not be a Anti-Traction-Leaguer or something other because I feel like they’re too… Violent, I guess. Also who’d want to see brown skies and smoke and too much mud all day when you can see White clouds and green grass? (*cue lyrics to What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong*) But if I had a life-or-death choice, I’d live in an airship as a captain because, well… You’re not bound to the ground or anything. You could go anywhere with anyone exploring the great blue skies. (((If I wasn’t afraid of heights or anything but aaah whatever((((falling from heights, to be specific)))))))

  20. 1. I think that Magnus Crome is the mayor because he wants more power over London. I think that Magnus Crome wants to bring back MEDUSA so that he can destroy all the towns that may be bigger than London. I also think that Magnus wants to rule all of the lands in the world. Magnus also wants to destroy Valentine in the end.
    2. If I had the choice to to live on a giant Traction City or live the life of an airship captain. I would choose to live the life of an airship captain because if you lived on a giant Traction City you could be eaten by bigger towns very quickly.

  21. 1. I think Magnus Crome is using MEDUSA to destroy other towns that's attacking him or to threaten towns so they don't attack him. I think he's mayor because he wants absolute control. The danger using the weapon is that several cities mite start attacking him and cities ganging up on him. I would destroy all the 60 minute war weapons so another war doesn't start.

    2. I would want to live in a traction city. I would want to live in traction city because there's more space to move around. I think traction cities is faster traveling . I think it might be safer to live on an airship because airships don't eat other airships.

  22. 1 Magnus Chrome is using MEDUSA so he can break the shield wall of the anti traction league. I Think he also wants power over other cities. The dangers of using the weapon is that he could bring WW4. I think they should dispose of all the 60 min war weapons like MEDUSA.


    2 I would want to be an airship captain because you could avoid more danger than if you were in a tracktion city. I also think being an airship captain would be more rewarding than being a normal person in a tracktion city. You are also not in danger of any of the anti traction league. But hopefully I don't have my fear of heights if I was an airship captain.

    I think that MEDUSA feel into the wrong hands that's my opinion. Magnus Crome and the other Londoner’s are going because a lot of people with the be in pain from the weapon (MEDUSA). In my opinion they should Hester mom should have destroyed MEDUSA well it was in her possession. I think we should get rid of are MEDUSA before the 60 min war.
    I would want to be an airship captain, but only if I had to. You couldn't get eaten by another city.
