Don’t worry about that, we’re not actually going anywhere. I said you’re already here, and I meant it. I’ll even let you lot go ahead and try to find them.

@Galaxy Raider

*Side-eyes Rythian*
Okay, let's see it.

Myriad Reality

I have plans in motion for one of them. The other is quite simple. Would you like to see it, since you’re already here?

@Galaxy Raider

Ahhhh sure. But I've always held to the philosophy that telling someone this kind of thing is a bad omen for the one hearing it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Yes, I’m glad you bring that back up. I spent all this time trying to hunt down those who remained while keeping everything under wraps. I’ve long since thrown secrecy to the wind, of course, but imagine my dismay when I learned that there were not one, but two whole worlds that exist now where Tzarian people still live en masse.

@Galaxy Raider

*Lifts my hand with my thumb pressed against the middle phalanx of my index finger, and then drops it when I start speaking*
This... sure just got a whole lot more complicated.

Reaching the point where diplomacy works would be a great breakthrough. A bit late for that, though. The rest of the universe wound up a lot like this… Only several years later.

@Galaxy Raider

It's worth a try, especially since—
*Motions to our surroundings, much like you did*

Myriad Reality

Alright then, I'm gonna cook up a character sheet. I think I'll drop him in somewhere on the dead planet...

@RoadkilBanana

I'm not the driver on that one, so I'll leave it up to him. Just make sure you also give us a description of how Axl left the bounds of his own dimension.

I usually end it before they can break the repetition by getting out. The variables start to get out of hand nearly instantly.
*Motions with my hands to the general area, implying that’s the sort of position we’re in now*

@Galaxy Raider

Okay—
*Points at you with both index fingers*
Now I'm following one hundred percent. I'd say diplomacy is up for grabs.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

A fair assumption to make, without intimate knowledge from close observation and repeated cycles of a universe’s worth of experience to base it on.
*Straightens my shoulders and glances at each of you, one by one*
I did say I usually end it here. But given the way things have changed, your return here is not indicative of your end, this time. Things are going to have to play out differently.

@Galaxy Raider

I wouldn't think so. Universe cycles that drag other universes or Tier Fours into them are beyond even calling rare.

Myriad Reality

Just what the setting is and what's currently happening. Thanks for your help. :D

@RoadkilBanana

Sure! There are a series of independent groups, one of which is fighting a war on a distant planet akin to our Mars, and another who are on a completely dead planet of a lost civilization encountering a long-time thorn in their side. Those are the big two, but we can also spin up others as necessary.

Since we have netnavis in this RP already, getting a reploid involved would be super easy tbh.

Setting is a multiverse, but we have depth on that in page 1.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

I weigh both halves of the equation equally, I’d say. Weighing one over the other leaves someone wronged forever.

@Galaxy Raider

It's really too bad, there was a diplomatic way out with wins all around otherwise.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

The IA is comprised of an idea that started here, and evolved without them. While it is true they have roots in ideas formulated amongst these folks, there are none left. Despite the myths that they were hidden and sprinkles amongst the population. The only ones that remain in that society are known.
*Folds my arms behind my back*
And to the second point, it would be self defeating if suppression of conquest was my only goal. But my goal isn’t to simply leave this universe dead for the safety of everyone. If they can grow to abandon the idea of manifest destiny, they can live amongst greater Existence peacefully, and even be a boon to it rather than harm it.

@Galaxy Raider

Mmmmmm okay, so you care about seeing them alive more than you fear their conquest attitude, right?
