Teknall and Toun were joined at the blueprint by Vestec. Teknall kept one eye on the newcomer, one who he sensed was a being of Chaos. When Vestec first joined the drawing, he did not mind. Teknall had no problem with the Universe having some quirks, some unique and unexpected features. If Vestec's intentions had been benign Teknall may have even let him continue unabated, but when Vestec went so far as to strike out some of his own writing Teknall snapped. He planted a muscular hand on Vestec's chest and forcefully pushed him away from the blueprint.

"Oi! These plans are important," Teknall growled, "Keep to your own parts of the plan, or bugger off."

At this moment Niciel stepped in to berate Vestec, which may have made the difference between this being a minor altercation or an actual brawl. Teknall took a deep breath to calm his nerves and turned back to the parchment. At this point he became aware of another presence, a Goddess unseen yet here all the same. Vulamera, the Goddess of Thought and Intelligence. Then he saw the writing on the parchment shift, blend, and combine. He watched in awe as the contributions of himself, Logos, Toun and even Vestec were brought together, redundant details merged and the myriad equations unified into a few, overarching wholes. Teknall marvelled at the rearranged plan, for it now looked as though it had been built that way from the beginning, rather than a base set of Laws with additions patched on haphazardly.

As this was going on, Ull'Yang walked up, and in a shock move he removed his own arm and fed it to Slough. As Vulamera exclaimed, this was indeed a valiant act of kindness and sacrifice- surrendering a part of his own being such that Slough would be able to survive the void, as well as whatever length of time it took for habitable worlds to form in the Universe. However, this sacrifice left Ull'Yang visibly weakened, and as Ull'Yang staggered backwards Teknall dropped what he was doing, stepped behind the Sun God and caught him.

"Easy there," Teknall said, "Let me patch that up for you."

He placed a hand on the stump, and around this stump formed a steel shell which extended over Ull'Yang's shoulder, braced onto Ull'Yang's crystal-clear body. From this shell extended rods, pistons, springs and joints, muscles and bones made of steel and iron. Once that had been formed, Teknall ran his hand down the prosthetic arm, covering it in a skin of polished steel. Finished, Teknall stepped back and looked at Ull'Yang. While it would feel strange at first, Ull'Yang would find he has full control over the new arm, as though it were naturally part of his body.

"How's that?" Teknall asked, "That arm should do until you can get a new one."

Teknall tapped the steel skin of Ull'Yang's new forearm, a clear metallic note ringing out from the arm. After giving Ull'Yang a chance to respond, Teknall turned back to the blueprint, where even more gods had gathered around to add their contributions. Mammon the Adversary had weaved in his own magic and ways to utilise it. Vakarion and Julkofyr had added elements of chance and uncertainty. Illunbar had skimmed over the plans then walked off to do her own thing. Once more the Universal Plan was looking more like a hacked-together set of ideas than a unified whole. Teknall sighed, retrieved his own pencil, and made an effort to unify the plans, as Vulamera had done earlier, although nowhere near as elegantly.
