Again, I would kindly ask that you step into the background and remain there. I have enough to worry about as it is.

@System

Look, the way I see it, you and I both feel like the other is going to ruin everything for the Codex. I’m not content to stay once the background, but you make good points about my previous chances, and I hate that, but I’m willing to play second or third or fourth fiddle so we don’t butt heads as long as I can still talk.

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

Then I think it's your turn to step away.

@System

We’ll just see what the situation demands. Ask your questions with a loud voice, if you want; step to the front when you do it, if you want. Just don’t act deliberately divisively. I’ll try not to, either. I had a bad enough time with Seth, and that ended... as badly as anything could.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

That's a wonderful empty promise to make.

@System

I’m not making it to anybody but myself. My speech is done; the Codex are “galvanised” for now. Let’s stop making airs.

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

I think that you've already wasted your chance to make a difference. It's your turn to be victim to the whims of others.

@System

There’s a new difference to make, and another chance to make right decisions rather than the wrong ones. I won’t stand by idly this time, whether or not I lead.

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

I've seen your hand when trying to prevent death. In fact, I'd call death preferable.

@System

You speak as if I've promised to create the plan. I'm just ensuring there will be one, and that we'll all have the motivation to follow it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

That doesn't include a need to speak.

@System

I'm just doing what seems right. Someone had to talk. If you want to set yourself up as a leader, then you can try later, but right now, I have the most credibility, and I'm going to use it while I can to make sure we're all willing to not die. Details can come later.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

Perhaps not, but your presence will end up the most divisive of all.

@System

I kind of have to be here, according to this Codex's calculations.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

You speak galvanizing words as a woman unfit to be leading the same group she betrayed.

@System

*Grits my teeth* Making claims like that isn't how you unite people.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

Starting with some basic tactics would do you well.

@System

-One- Basic tactics?
-Another- Do you mean working together? *Points* With him?
*Before the room gets louder, I interrupt*
-Abel is right. Remember what this Codex said: if we don't unite, we have a 98% chance of dying, all of us. Are you willing to gamble that 2%? The man that showed up here wants to kill us. You saw him thinking about it. If he can find us here, can he find us anywhere? And if you've avoided Baphumet yet, can you avoid being hunted by more than her? We'll find a way to make this palatable, but know that it's necessary.

*Turns around and attempts to attack you but fails* ...

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

Yes. To varying degrees, just as Codex have throughout history. They are a threat mainly because of Nyarlathotep leading them. And our best bet would be to release Azatoth from her seal so that she and Nyarlathotep will begin fighting each other again. There are many who would support her. Though, then it becomes an issue of picking sides. I doubt that both sides can be defeated unless certain things come to pass.

@Threads of Fate

What are those things? If they both have their sights set on Existence, we have to deal with them both.
