That won't be much of one, I'm sure.

@Valiance

Consider it a judge of character. One way or the other.
*My sword flickers into a ghastly green intangibility and strikes through Faering nine times*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Uh huh... So, do you intend to stop me from interfering further?

@Valiance

Personally, no.
*As if queued, thousands of fleets launch an assault against large territory sectors near and away from this region, including the EDB, the CSLEI, and the IA*
But I do intend to leave you with a choice.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Artificially boosted abilities, huh? Makes me feel better about my performance at least.

@Valiance

Of course. Singlehandedly collapsing a dimension without one would be absurd.

*Raises my arms to the side in acknowledgement, then drops them*

@Valiance

...
*Shimmers into view within range of your sword, visibly exhausted*
It has.

@Artifact

I see.
*Turns to Roland*
Well done. A shame you didn't have the opportunity to test each other's mettle in full without distractions. But as you can see, overdrivers are subject to severe time constraints.

@Valiance

*Nods*
General Faering, your overdriver has expired, correct?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Kept me on my toes. Was still gauging the full scope of what she could do.

@Valiance

I see. And yet you still stand before me.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

I can’t stop everything alone, but you can definitely expect I’m not just going to stand here and let it happen.

@Valiance

Hm. You fought my subordinate, correct? How did she perform?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Scans for life in the dimension*

@Magnanimity

*The scan pings lifeforms sporadically placed along the now-inflated dimensional boundary*
Launch the offensive against adjacent-oriented territories.
*My sword rises on its own accord and hovers next to me*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Then what’s with the stop here? You won.

@Valiance

*Holds out my hand, and the rapier flies into my grip*
The result is imperfect. But had this mission failed, I would have been forced to complete it myself.
*Dips the tip of the blade into the current of spacetime*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Who care’s about “vested interests?” That’s a limitation. Avenging would be doing what I was doing, but now after the fact. Is this what you came here to do? Belittle whatever my motivations were?

@Valiance

No, I've come to verify the efficacy of the results. I have other operations to oversee once my work here is complete.
