We should be able to make the decision, shouldn't we?
*Grimaces and looks back at the display*
Shouldn't we?

<Snipped quote by Malevocholy>

What happened?

@Legend

Its attack struck the barrier. Given how it was functioning, there's a chance it survived through that attack. If the barrier allows for transmission of material or data back to the system, then it could be compromised.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Malevocholy>

Oh, so he can't infect it, right?

@Legend

Correct. The presumably defeated threat as well. I don't believe that it's final attack was without intent.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Malevocholy>

*A message flashes across the terminal that it controls the forcefield surrounding the planet*

@Legend

If it's not a one-way relationship, you may wish to quarantine its "brain," whatever form that may take.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Malevocholy>

Um, I think it's connected at different levels to most things in the lab. But you can't access this interface from many different places.

@Legend

How connected is it to the shield above us?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Malevocholy>

Wait, I never said we were going to lose.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Sighs*
I didn't want to do this.
*Flashes Ma'at's stolen access badge to PaMDA*
Tell me what Goodbye Sunshine does.
PaMDA: I apologize Operator Ma'at, but you are unauthorized to access that information.

@Legend

But your machine did. Speaking of... How interconnected is this system it runs?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Anyone?… But importantly, not everyone, right?

@Audacious

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

PaMDA: Goodbye Sunshine is considered an absolute last resort to save anyone in your universe. It is the likeliest routine to deal a death blow to your adversary by exploiting an asynchronicity in his understanding. All further information is classified in the system's current state.

@Legend

As expected, it agrees with the walker that losing is a forgone conclusion.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Malevocholy>

Maverick!

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

*Bumps your fist*
We're gonna win this!

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*It flashes Goodbye Sunshine as the recommended routine*
PaMDA: Only Dynamo family members are authorized to activate Goodbye Sunshine. This routine is considered an absolute last resort to save anyone in your universe.

@Legend

Yes, you seem to be the one who was taken earlier.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Malevocholy>

Thats part of the plan.

@souleaterfan320

Then I demand two things from you.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

It makes it sound easy…

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

I want to save this place. I refuse to believe its loss is a foregone conclusion.
*Points up*
That man, who thinks he’s a god, can fail.

@Audacious

First, you must give her,

*points at Violet*

her chance. Second, you must take responsibility for your actions. If you do those two things, I will not resist your idea.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Malevocholy>

Did I pass the test, by the way?

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

I really, really want to believe that.

@Legend

Do you know the animal's given name?

*Glances up at where I pointed earlier*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Malevocholy>

I'm arguably the strongest bet you have left. You don't have much of a choice if you want me to help.

@souleaterfan320

Then isn't moving your antenna more vital?
