Er, yeah. But if he wants us all there to talk, and they can apparently see everything around here, it’s gonna be real hard for me to slip away.

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

I wouldn’t try it unless as a last resort since I don’t know if you’d be able to return, but your “avatar” might be locked here just like we are.

@Galaxy Raider

Maybe, then again maybe not. Even if it is, it wouldn't be of too much use in its current state. And enhanced form wouldn't stand up to most of you. Still, I suppose you're right. Better not to risk it.

[GalaxyRaider]

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Huh? I can go if they need me.

@Host

Oh, I misunderstood then. I guess that’s a play that works.

[Galaxy Raider]

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

Hm. Making you disappear is simple. Duplicating you with my skillset would have some undesirable side effects, so I would recommend someone else do that instead.

@Legend Begins

Well, if no one else can, we might have to risk those side effects.

@GalaxyRaider

It's far safer than jumping in.

@Caldizar

Hm. Is it harmful to you for these avatars to take damage?

[Legend Begins]

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

@Galaxy Raider

It would be ill-advised if we can avoid it.

@Galaxy Raider

Does it have to be you?

[Galaxy Raider]

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

@Legend Begins

If.

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

Does it have to be you?

@Fractured

I don’t think anyone else knows how to set up that system of machines of my own design. Certainly don’t have time to teach.

@Galaxy Raider

Myself? Not unless I wish it if pain is what you mean. I suppose the best way to look at it is like how a puppet master controls a puppet. Should the puppet be damaged or its strings, the master generally will not be in any danger of being harmed. Granted if something travels back along those strings and somehow manages to reach me as I truly am, then I will in fact take some damage depending on the strength of the attack, hence why I was uncertain about the level of power potentially being dished out here and whether or not it could create feedback.

...
I’m surprised you’ve suddenly calmed down to this degree. A very different show than earlier.

@Galaxy Raider

Did you develop it with any particular standard?

@Caldizar

The man we’re after has captured strong beings including at least one capable of universe-level destruction. I’d wager that would likely fit that bill, so I’d be careful.

@GalaxyRaider

Because if I just went, not only would dad kill me, but Isaac could be mad at me instead of me being mad at him.

@Galaxy Raider

I'll keep that in mind.

@Source

No. It’s Waternaux trade to develop everything uniquely to limit the potential for your stuff to get highjacked. I guess I see how that can backfire now.

@Host

... Y’know, that’s some strong leverage. You clearly know more than I do on that front.

@Galaxy Raider

How long will it take? I can buy you up to four minutes.

@GalaxyRaider

And beyond that...
*Looks down*
If any of them got killed because I did something stupid, I'd never forgive myself.

@Legend Begins

No longer than that surely. But, probably not much less either.

@Galaxy Raider

Any idea of how they might respond should we start buying you this time?
