Welcome, visitor. As First Scientist, we, the Shaper, will guide you through the Reptilian Collective's files on our allies, assets and opponents. Collaboration, optimisation and neutralisation are all important facets of the war against irrationality, for none could be attempted, if the others failed.
An ally/asset/threat classification has been uploaded to your mindframe. Do you wish to peruse it now?
...Very well.
The Collective classifies entities, objects and locations of interest using a scale focusing on, but not limited to, how large an area of the macrocosm they can affect. Other traits, such as aptitude, resilience and the nature and duration of said effect, factor into classification, but broadly, it can be used as follows:
-"local" entities are not necessarily native to any location, nor do they dwell there. This classification is used to express the fact they represent potential threats to baseline humans, up to large groups of them. In some cases, they represent a danger to human dwellings or settlements, and are able to fight an unmodified reptilian without equipment.

-"regional" entities can affect large parts of a notable Terran landmass; a mountain range, for example, up to a continent.
-"global" entities can affect, at a minimum, the entire surface of Terra. In more powerful cases, they can affect its moon, or the entire planet.
-"planetary" entities are able to affect celestial bodies larger than Terra, up to and including brown dwarfs.
-"stellar", "galactic" and "universal" entities are, as the names suggest, capable of affecting varyingly large areas of the cosmos.
-"macrocosmic" entities range from beings capable of affecting two or more realities, to those whose very existence warps all of creation.
This classification system is a new development, and, in many ways, a prototype. Your perusal of the archives might help us improve it.
Now, what do you wish to analyse first?
