It was preposterous, and this new kid just comes in and supports her idea, further fueling her motivation to go through with it. He would not allow it, even if he had to tie her down. [color=0076a3]“Thomas, Aleecia. Are you two realizing what you are saying?”[/color] Max turned towards Aleecia with a face so serious, it could drain the life out of the most lively person around. [color=0076a3]“If you go to talk with [i]Nariko[/i], I guarantee you, she will not [i][b]hesitate[/b][/i] to drag you in to that morgue to live the rest of you and Krista’s lives in loneliness, solitude, and despair. You may think it is better than leaving Krista to die. It is not. And if you think you can reason with a robot like that, you haven’t seen her trying to kill Krista, who she so [i]loves[/i].”[/color] And then he faced towards Thomas, who he should really be apologizing to because of earlier. But nobody in their right mind would apologize to someone who said such inhumane things. For this kid to talk about things the way he did, so emotionless, was he born like this? Or did something turn him into the cynic he is today? But as he noted earlier, if Max was to connect with the troubled Thomas, he would need to speak his language, the language of logic. [color=0076a3]“So you talk of logic, and these contingencies of yours. But you’re only thinking about the numbers and statistics. We are humans, we have feelings and emotions, and you can’t apply logic to that. You say that your [i]contingency C[/i] is the most logical solution, but you are wrong. Because by sacrificing one of ours, the next time we are given a similar situation, it will just be easier to sacrifice another, and another, and another, till there’s nobody left. Not the mention the mental trauma we would feel, the guilt, the despair. All that would remain of this group would be a broken mess, ready to kill each other, if only to escape the nightmare. Same thing goes for your plan B.”[/color] [color=0076a3]“In my mind, there is but a single option left. We save Krista [i]and[/i] Aleecia, or die trying. At least that way, we can still believe in ourselves, and each other.”[/color] Over the course of his ramble, Max had worked up quite a sweat, but it needed to be said. Meanwhile Felix hadn’t even followed Max’s words, he knew that the infinite cop would get through to them, and that gave Felix the time to formulate a plan, but without more information, doing so would simply be impossible. [color=fff200]“Hey, so guys? What’s actually the situation? Did Nariko just lock Krista in the morgue? Is she with her in there? Or is Krista tied down or somethin."[/color] Felix’s words were obviously meant for Cyrus, who probably knew everything, but maybe others could chime in with their facts and ideas. [color=fff200]"We need details if we are to save her!”[/color]
