*clears throat*
Anyways, we have a potential lead on who may be at the ceneter of the bad change to our future. Unfortunately, it is someone most of us would call a friend. A dear, close one.

@souleaterfan320

Oh?

If you would like to speak with her you may.

I'm here to protect the future. With the Strings, I can stay here longer.

@Legend

Unfortunately, Second, First, and myself are working on various
*Glances at Machina*
...anomalies. But if it becomes necessary, we can acquire them.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

Indeed. However, I assume you more than likely hold some form of strict code on whom may use them, and why they are being used. On top of that, Second isn't exactly easy to get a hold of. Hasn't been since.. well, you know.

@souleaterfan320

I would prefer more information.

*Nods to you out of repsect*

Indeed I did. It seems that our new friend here, *motions to Singularity* is the bearer of unfortunate news from the future. However, in order to stay here and not dissapear from quite possibly reality as a whole, she needs a particular item. One that only Second possesses, to her knowledge.

@souleaterfan320

Yes, the Strings of Fate?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Alright... let me know if you need anything.

@souleaterfan320

*Walks into the base*
You called?

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

How?!

@Etcetera

Simple. We've known of it since the beginning. Tier Five is an intricate System and only the perfect balance will allow it to function optimally. As for the lesson...
*Approaches the device*
Isn't that correct, Data? Enjoy analyzing the monologues. Remember, Protocol UL2.

@Etcetera

Do not blame yourself; no provisions were made for you to have any ability to succeed in the first place. Rather, Welter Rite,
*Points my knife in your direction*
You will never become a Tier Five. Learn that now and apply your life toward some goal more fulfilling. In fact, consider it a gift, as you only received this opportunity in order for me to teach another individual their own lesson. Now, you're free to stop stalking Mary's activity.

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

Huh..?

@Etcetera

As much as I hate lectures...
*Sighs*
You lack the qualities of an administrator. Tier Five is not a rank—it is a responsibility. No individual who strives to attain Tier Five does, and many have no desire to participate at all upon receiving the offer. Your inward-focus is detrimental to the aim of developing a seamless team. Your ability relies on the strength of others that you will not always have. Tier Five makes use of special-case abilities, but not when their only strength is utilizing that which others already have; if I want the power of others, I will recruit them instead. A Tier Five exercises authority, influence, and control, not power. Every test you were graced with the chance to approach was failed. And you are one of the few who receive any sort of test in the first place.

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

I... I mean, of course it would turn out like this. You're part of the Top Five! Surely I've proven my strength, and risk I can learn quickly!

@Etcetera

*Sighs*
You would not have even found me had this not advanced my own goals and intentions.

*Stops myself a few meters away*
What just...
*Looks down*

@Etcetera

*Your shirt rips open, revealing a dripping red wound*
For an aspiring Tier Five, you are quite idealistic in the naive sense. While there are a range of personalities, from reckless to hypercritical, each is able to properly evaluate risk.
