Don't worry. I will.

<Snipped quote by Melodious>

*Holds out one hand to stop his movement while shooting up into the air; two turrets materialize on the ceiling and rapidly fire into you, and a large green mallet appears in my hands that I swing sideways into your head*

@Webmaster

*The crystal releases a pulse that stops the bullets in their tracks mid-air, and when the hammer smacks, it floods the entire side of the room in the direction of the swing with an unfathomably large cascade of raw energy manifested in too many forms to count, which is absorbed into the walls and ejected out after a delay*

@Melodious

*Hits the ground and steadies myself with one arm, red perpendicular lines pulsing across my face and hands on each strike*

More a cleaning of the slate for future projects, or to add unexpected twists to the "story" so to speak.

*Furrows my brow*

You know, I can't help but dislike that statement for some reason. It just... doesn't sit well inside.

*Brightens considerably moment later*

But eh, I'm sure it's nothing.

@Caldizar

So you were almost writing a kind of live book?

@Nimda

Yes. Although it was more like a stage play if you think about it.

@Revolutionary

*Makes my way to the front of the tomb*
Location confirmed. Current directives are to engage and eliminate the target at all costs. Does that persist?

@Caldizar

Did you get anything out of it? Like learning something?

@Nimda

I think we did at the beginning, but near the end I think the others were just going through the motions.

@Caldizar

That does sound pretty miserable.

Mm.

@Caldizar

Do you have any fun stories from those times?

*Dodges away from the massive energy ejection*
Yep. You’re stuck in it now, pal.

@Webmaster

Every time you do that...
*The light on the crystal begins to glow with increasingly intense light*
You put everyone in more danger!

@Nimda

Not that I can recall, no. I'm sure the others have stories to tell, but I was only called on when needed. Nothing more.

@Revolutionary

*Folds a pair of glasses and clips them onto my shirt*
Directed toward someone else, but the answer is the same in either case.

Needed to destroy something?

This... is..
*Stands up, the lines pulling themselves closed once again*
Bigger than that!
*Both of my arms convert into the same beast as before, this time focusing the resulting beam onto the crystal with pinpoint accuracy*

@Caldizar

When would they have to pull you in for that?

[DELETED 93286j5]

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

When would they have to pull you in for that?

@Nimda

Whenever they liked, which could have been anywhere from a matter of months to a matter of millennia.

@Caldizar

To fix problems they couldn’t solve?
