<Snipped quote by Host>

You wouldn’t listen to me!
*Leans against the wall with my hand and takes a deep breath*
If that really is Mierno in there, we can’t open that pod. He’s not able to operate from his actual body like that. He does projections of himself, or whatever. We might kill him.

<Snipped quote by Extra>

Well, wiping us out right now will get your home annihilated anyway. Not the best outcome there either.

*Takes a stuttery breath, and just barely manages to shake my head a few inches in either direction before breaking down, weeping*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I see that now…

<Snipped quote by Extra>

Lucky us, then, to be stuck in a simulation unknowingly, or I-
*Pinches the bridge of my nose and looks away*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

We have to at least try. He's a sitting duck down there, while you're being emotionally manipulated by some copy. Don't be so sentimental, Vi—this is exactly what I warned you she would do.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*looks at you then down at the ground*

<Snipped quote by Host>

This is me making a call of my own volition. If that’s Mierno, I’m not killing him on a gamble. I’d rather shoulder the responsibility of what comes next. I’m not risking killing a friend, and it’s not because it’s me being emotionally manipulated, it’s because that’s who I am. Even the chance of that is not an option. Not to me.

No more Alamos. You don’t touch anything. Yeah?

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Everything here is a gamble. Getting Mierno out of that cage is our best chance at surviving. Don't take this last opportunity from us!

<Snipped quote by Extra>

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Pulls myself together*
We... Violet, she was the one who grabbed me in the pipe. She tried to kill me.

<Snipped quote by Host>

If he was capable of helping us, he could do it from inside the pod. It’s his entire function. We’re already on our own.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I found her completely frozen over and hypothermic way too soon after we separated, that can’t make sense.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

How do you know that? I don't think that's true.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Shakes my head and looks at her in fear*
No... it makes too much sense. She can absolutely do that.

<Snipped quote by Host>

That’s completely what he does, isn’t it? He lives through projections of himself. Like Ridge, only his true self is normal.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I-
*Furrows my brow, clenches my fist and walks past everyone, starting down the path to the room*

Then he would be protecting himself. But he isn't.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Follows behind you swapping my gaze between you and Artemis*
Please please don't turn your back on her.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Sternly*
I can see all of you.

<Snipped quote by Host>

Then what does that say about his actual body’s ability to do anything whatsoever, at the moment? He can’t.
