Good to see you again, Mr. Stream.

Likewise.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

He said he is an old friend. But first, could you come so the other Vanguard can see you?

@Zeal

Hm. Very well.
*Leaves*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

The other Vanguard wish to speak with you. I also have someone you would like to meet.

@Zeal

Would I?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Hello?? Data? It is me, Maria.

@Zeal

Good day.

Myriad Reality

*calls Data*

@Zeal

*Exits the room and answers*

-Ruby- An absolute? What absolutes are there related to mental manipulation?
-Soren- You can't break a connection. But Seth managed it.

@whizzball1

In a physical sense, they can.

-Ruby- What if he only reverses our benefit?
-Soren- We could find an action which intertwines two effects so removing one absolutely removes the other.
-Ruby- What if he instead blocked us from the benefit? And who's to say that we can prevent him from control at all yet? Maybe it depends on the type of control you're talking about.

@whizzball1

Some rules cannot be broken. Tie an attack to an absolute and you have won.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

-Ruby- Easier said than done?

@whizzball1

If we perform an action that would effectively guarantee that he maintains control, but also benefits us, but he reverses the consequences of that action, we may be capable of regaining control.
