Well... yeah. But we're still in this mess.

<Snipped quote by Malevocholy>

Oh... I, uh, I really really hope not.

@Legend

With all that in mind, it surely can’t have chosen a better option, right? With its entire purpose in mind, if it decides the doomsday measures are appropriate, they probably are. No matter how much they end up sucking.

...what did he do to you...?

*looks to you with concern*

@souleaterfan320

*Doesn’t look back at you, keeping my eyes locked skyward*
If I say the words “the unthinkable” and leave it there, it probably paints a good enough picture.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

We should be able to make the decision, shouldn't we?
*Grimaces and looks back at the display*
Shouldn't we?

<Snipped quote by Malevocholy>

What happened?

@Legend

I think it is easy. Your dad designed the Panda machine to be the absolute best it could at keeping everything safe. Actively, and proactively, right?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Fair enough. I still need to rough 'em up after how he cheated in our fight last time. He plays dirty.

@souleaterfan320

*Grimaces*
Don’t I know it…

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Then why would we ever, ever want to use it?

@Legend

Because letting whatever could happen, happen instead is worse.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

That is admirable. I applaud your resolve.

@souleaterfan320

I’ve already made too many exceptions- too many sacrifices today, to quit.
*Clenches my fists while still staring in his direction*
Besides, it’s the perfect time to pay him back.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

So you're saying it's so bad, knowing what it does might make us not want to use it?

@Legend

I sure am thinking it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Malevocholy>

Wait, I never said we were going to lose.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Sighs*
I didn't want to do this.
*Flashes Ma'at's stolen access badge to PaMDA*
Tell me what Goodbye Sunshine does.
PaMDA: I apologize Operator Ma'at, but you are unauthorized to access that information.

@Legend

I trust it to know what it’s talking about with every word it’s saying. But if it’s this classified, it’s just proof that what it’s saying it’s true. It’s a desperate move, for a dire time.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

As expected, it agrees with the walker that losing is a forgone conclusion.

@Malevocholy

Maybe it is. But it can’t change my mind.

PaMDA: Goodbye Sunshine is considered an absolute last resort to save anyone in your universe. It is the likeliest routine to deal a death blow to your adversary by exploiting an asynchronicity in his understanding. All further information is classified in the system's current state.

@Legend

*Looks Isis in the eyes and says nothing*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*you see a look of pain and empathy on my face, as if ive been in a similar situation before*

.... fight alongside me, then. I'll try to get you an opening.

@souleaterfan320

*Nods*
Having you here is a comfort. Just minutes ago, I was coming down here expecting to do it alone.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Malevocholy>

Maverick!

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

*Bumps your fist*
We're gonna win this!

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*It flashes Goodbye Sunshine as the recommended routine*
PaMDA: Only Dynamo family members are authorized to activate Goodbye Sunshine. This routine is considered an absolute last resort to save anyone in your universe.

@Legend

Anyone?… But importantly, not everyone, right?
