How do you know you can restrain him?

@Galaxy Raider

This is a valid question.

Myriad Reality

I may be gone for a little while.

-Soren- Perhaps it's more like when you rip a muscle.

@Balance

The same applies.

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

-Soren- Hmm... Well, we'll need all the help we can get, so we'll tell you what's happening soon.
-For now, let's get to the first order of business! We've been analyzing the data and doing lots of things with it, and we've finally figured out how to fix the Snapping! At least, we hope so! Data will explain.

@Balance

Mental connections toward empathy are broken down and destroyed throughout, yet the ends are still in place. Ruby is capable of locating these ends, and those of us with particular mental fortitude may potentially restore the internal structure as well as function.

-Soren- Is that good or bad?

@Balance

It is questionable.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

I'm not sure how to compare it, but it's stronger than it ever was before. It's a lot like when you break a bone.

@Galaxy Raider

That is a misconception. Once a bone heals, it returns to the state at which it was before the trauma, and then fluctuates depending on how it is used.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

Hmm...
-Soren- How would you compare your mental strength to Techi's?

@Balance

Strong enough to be driven mad by stress.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Weeell, I just realised that neither Spirit Blitz nor 22 are here yet, but at least one of them should be coming super soon, so we should be good in just a bit! Then we can get on to what we've figured out!

@Balance

This is true.

Myriad Reality

And so begins this meeting of the spontaneously and reluctantly named Council of Evil! Don't mind the outfit; I just finished doing science and I haven't changed yet!

@Balance

Mmm.

Myriad Reality

I'm going to go and analyze the data.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

-Maddie- We now have data on the level of activity of the projection of the villain leading up to the change, during it, and just after until it leaves. We also have data on the soul, mind, and the level of activity of both at those times, so that completes the hole in our data of what happens before the change occurs. With Ruby's information on exactly where the connections have been broken from, we may be able to match the activity data to the specific areas of the soul.

@Balance

I see. Thank you.
