Stein shrugs as he leans back in his chair. "Heaven's greatest weapon will do what it was created to do. It will kill first Magnus, then Gabriel, then Martin. Of course, it's quite possible that my darling has changed the order in my absence. What you don't seem to understand is that I never controlled Terebithia. I created her, and she obeyed me for I was her father, and she respected me. She still had much to learn. However, now?" Stein chuckles, as he looks at the ground. He seems surprisingly somber. "It's amazing just how fast the grow up, isn't it? She's all ready to tear down the cornerstones of civilisation, just like her daddy. I just wish I could be there to congratulate her on her first master plan, and advise her on her first deceptions."

Smiling, Stein begins to fade away. "But I guess there's only so much a parent can do. By my calculations, her hunger for knowledge and power will lead to her own demise, she's got too much attention focused on her. The odds are stacked against her survival, even if Heaven's Greatest Weapon is successful in it's objectives and Project Armageddon being released is just bad for business. If you manage to get to her computing systems, I can help you shut her down, send her to sleep. In the current situation, it's best she learn about failure, that she can better appreciate victory." Stein holds up his hands, and claps twice. Even as the area seems to fade back into nothingness, and you once more feel the headache build, you hear his words echo after you. "Now hop to it, boy. You'll need to show the world what you can do for this one. I guess, for once, you get to play the hero of the story."
