<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I would be concerned we're placing all our eggs into the same basket. But at least Zinnia can operate it in Isis' stead.

<Snipped quote by Host>

I’d gladly put eggs in another basket, but I just don’t know of other options.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

That's the trouble. Perhaps you could take on Dynamo yourself?

<Snipped quote by Host>

…
*Does not respond*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Blinks and raises an eyebrow*
Vi?

<Snipped quote by Host>

*Stares down into the light of a shape floating just in front of me and speaks plainly*
I don’t want to.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I don't think anyone wants to—

<Snipped quote by Host>

I can’t even fathom the idea of having to interact with him directly ever again! I can’t imagine us being in a world where my only option is to do that or die!
*Reaches up and holds the glowing shape in my cupped palm*
But if my only other choice is to roll over? Just accept it?
*Clenches my fist around the object, dispersing it into voxels that quickly fade away, and stares sternly into the now-empty space*
That’s the one thing I actually won’t ever do again. Not for him.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Stares through the outburst with a mix of surprise and strange curiosity*
You have a personal vendetta. You and many others, but especially important to you.

<Snipped quote by Host>

I never had a vendetta. Just an agenda to never see him again.
*Drops my arm lifelessly back to my side*
Look where I am now…

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Remember. If all goes well, you never will see him again.

<Snipped quote by Host>

That’s why I need Panda to have the answers. I need our Dynamo to be okay.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Are you prepared to leave this planet behind if need be?

<Snipped quote by Host>

…
I promised Isis. Not until the moment all hope is lost.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

How much is that promise worth to you? Isis isn't even here; what are you willing to sacrifice for a promise to who may just be a clone?

<Snipped quote by Host>

I don’t make promises in positions like this often, because I know there are usually people who can take care of the problems themselves. In this situation, where I might be the only one? It’s worth everything. If it wasn’t, I might as well be worth nothing.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Why is it so important to you, when it could cost you everything?

<Snipped quote by Host>

Everything I believe in boils down to one simple idea. I don’t hurt people. If I find myself in a position where everyone is counting on me, and I make a choice that causes someone else more pain? I’m failing myself by failing them. My choices are bigger than me. Even to people who have no idea who I am.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

And what do you do at the crossroads, where hurting people is all you can do?

<Snipped quote by Host>

I do what I can. Because the worst thing you can do at a crossroads is stop.
