Cyano did bring in a valid point that reducing the problem to an atomic had its benefits. But it still didn't help that such characteristics were generally unknown to their respective universes. Especially when considering how they emitted a mysterious energy and their way of consuming matter as a form of nutrient to regenerate. Indeed, they weren't in a position where they could make definitive conclusions after only having this beast around for about an hour. 

"[color=black]We have formulated multiple plans to eliminate the threat in the case where elimination would be required. It has also been confirmed that the destruction of the brain will render it inactive for an extended period of time.[/color]" 

The data presented before Cyano manifested itself into a few of the plans offered by the Ethereal's researchers to completely destroy Apocalypse if he were to be too much of a problem. One mentioned of the use of an Anti-Matter Bomb, a weapon they could create but manufacturing it for the precise moment could be difficult. Another one was formulated by Quincy researchers, insuring that they could very well use Shinigami and Arrancar techniques to extract Apocalypse's soul and leave the body empty of any active function. Finally, she'd notice that this ship would indeed be equipped with a weapon that could theoretically end Apocalypse as well as the whole crew. The sphere of energy in the control room, once left unstable, could turn into a Black Hole and easily swallow the beast. There were a few others files, but strangely enough, she wouldn't have any access to them, most likely because they involved specific weapons and actors from the Dark Outliners, information that could be dangerous to expose to a stranger. 

"[color=black]Mikoto will display our most sure-kill alternative in a state of crisis. Though perhaps you'd like to share this solution you appear to be confident in the efficiency.[/color]"

But as Cyano was given a proposition to respond to, alarms started to sound in the research bay and multiple barriers formed around the tube as it became clear that Apocalypse had awoken. The barriers were resilient and many layers were put to sponge the immense strength delivered from the strikes. Many researchers in the area decided to back off while a few others remained speechless at the sight of the active Apocalypse. The gel surrounding his body would greatly limit his mobility and likely restrain him enough to keep the beast listening. 

"[color=black]It appears ... The Bestial One has come back among us.[/color]" 

The Ethereal faced the monster head on, its voice passing without a problem through the barriers. It got at close as possible to the final barrier before stopping. With complete brain activity, it became clear the abomination had developed a keen resistance to the 'Gift', though there were no signs of psionic activity in his being. Not yet anyway. 

"[color=black]Perhaps now of all times would be adequate to discuss motives. Eventually you will be free, and you will destroy everything. However, we will not hesitate to eliminate ourselves in order to delete you from this existence if you were to run loose in a rampage. You have been warned. In spite of your uncontrollable nature, we've deduced that a certain level of sentience exists within you and reason should not be entirely foreign to your mind. Is this correct? If so, then there is no reason for us to avoid a discussion. We have eternity before us, after all, don't we? Maybe you would be interested in exposing your motives in this world, O' Bestial One.[/color]"

The Ethereal wanted a response from it more than actual answers. It was to confirm whether Apocalypse was truly capable of grasping a minimum level of reason and sensible judgement to avoid thrashing about in a place where he would likely perish if making a wrong move.
