I've discovered that Ragnarok in this form is not as potent as in Crona's body. It appears Elizabeth has imperfect compatibility as a host.

A horrible little parasite, that is.

Mmm. As a result, if we wish to save her life, our approaches are limited. And as a result of my current condition, I am incapable of serious magical assistance outside of what my lab can produce.

@Etcetera

What are the viable approaches here?

@Armed Forces

We could attempt to extract her blood, which is a significant medical risk. We could attempt an in-place replacement that may result in further infection. Finally, we could attempt a total conversion. I’m open to additional suggestions if you have them.

You seemed to be hurting pretty badly last time.

@System

I wasn’t hurting at all, I was going into a primal state.

It looked painful.

@System

I know, and I am sorry that I worried you...

@Spiritblitz

That’s okay, I’m not mad about it. I’m just glad you didn’t get injured.

Total conversion of?

@Armed Forces

Black blood to some other substance. Preferably one that can sustain her.

@Etcetera

Hm. I can’t say any of those fall within my skillset. Do you believe the imperfection of the host will make it easier to get rid of? To my knowledge, it was impossible to remove in Crona.

@Armed Forces

I believe you may be able subdue her. And I do believe that their fundamental incompatibility will prove beneficial for us.

@Etcetera

Will she need to be subdued more than she already is?

@Armed Forces

Unfortunately so. Ragnarok has attached itself to her consciousness, and she must be aware.

@Etcetera

It’s on the verge of absolute takeover then. I have no opinion on what route will be best as far as actually fixing her, but I can handle the rest. I might also suggest cybernetic augmentation, since the technology and techniques for implementing such are well established.

@Armed Forces

Removing the parasite and augmenting her body to not require blood?

@Etcetera

Right. Or implementing a system which performs all the duties of blood in the body, and the necessary means to sustain it.

@Armed Forces

The long-term consequences are also important to factor in.

@Etcetera

I agree. For all options.

@Armed Forces

Do you have a preferred weapon? There is an additional countermeasure I can install if you would like.
