<Snipped quote by Disdain>

Now, what to you say? Shall I introduce you?

@Valiance

I honestly don't care either way.

Myriad Reality

@Valiance@Balance

Now this is exciting.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

And why is that?

@Valiance

Well, let's consider what happens if I stay: Maelstrom is released, I probably get kicked out of Spirit's mind, your friend is lost to you probably forever, and my plans chug right along without any hindrance. Alternatively, we both leave him alone for now. You get another chance to save your friend, I don't Snap anyone else, and Maelstrom stays locked up right where you think he belongs. And my plans chug right along without any hindrance. I know which I would choose in your position. Which would you?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

I recommend retreating.

@Etcetera

I endorse this course of action. Don't let that change your decision, though.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

Then leave Spirit alone, and go.

@Valiance

Ah. Yes. You'll have to leave him alone, too.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

Mhm.

@Etcetera

Oh, good. Are you going to add the placeholder background information, too?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

Have I?

@Valiance

You have. Please don't release Maelstrom.

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

Destroying the mindscape is a valid option.

@Etcetera

That is merely a projection. His mind and his soul will still exist. The connections will remain broken.

I am in favor of waiting about five hours, so it'll be done and we can push the final version. It's not like the current page is wrong, anyway.

@Etcetera

Five hours? Will you be finished with it in five hours?

Routing complete.

@Etcetera

*all their calculations are correct, but everything they do applies incorrectly, wreaking havoc on Spirit's mind* They're doing exactly what they're meant to do, exactly right, and yet they're all doing it exactly wrong. How pathetic.

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

You underestimate his capabilities, just as you underestimate mine without him holding me back. I guarantee, despite however long you may have watched us, whatever conclusive information you've gathered is, in fact, far from conclusive.
If he wants someone- anyone- they are not safe.

@Valiance

I see. Well, you've convinced me.
