You're talking emotions right now. I need you to convince me what I can do to make a real difference. The illusions of grandeur or hero work aren't going to be enough for a fight completely out of my league.

@Etcetera

They put Painting Dye in critical condition, david. Plus, you've done things way above your paygrade before for nothing promised in return. I dont have anything I could offer you in return. I refuse to participate in the collection of terriotories beyond those involved with the EDB, so I have none of those to give you, and whatever materialistic needs you have you can fill on your own, you dont need my assistance for that. What could I possibly give you that'd be worth a damn, David?

You haven't asked me to do that. You've asked me to enter a war and get slaughtered on the frontlines.

@Etcetera

I think you fail to realize how big this actually is. Eventually, you'll be dragged in whether you want it or not. If you want to think about it negatively, you either die alongside your friends trying your best to save existence, or you buy some time, only to be eventually slaughtered as you say, regardless. Or, if you want to think about it positively, you'll save existence alongside your friends as you have before, allowing yourself an opportunity of peace once again.

Then you should know me well enough to recognize that I don't like that kind of reasoning. This isn't a favor or "one last job or old time's sake." You're going to have to actually convince me.

@Etcetera

I shouldn't have to convince you to litterally help save existence, therein saving yourself. Thought that was kind of a given.

I'm suggesting that everything I've done to this point is leverage history and follow the steps other people have laid out before me. I don't know how much I can do in this case, and I'm not going to die just so I can say I was there.

@Etcetera

David... at least help me with this one last thing. I dont expect you to fight, but you and I worked excellently together to make the endgame armor and the ARGUS weapons system. I don't trust anyone else but you on this one. I'll make it up to you.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

I understand that. But you overestimate how useful I really am.

@Etcetera

What are you suggesting?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

I’m just a historian now. The kind of problems you’re dealing with are unprecedented.

@Etcetera

...david. these arent just my problems. These are existences problems. Its only a matter of time before they come knocking on your door, too.

I’m... I can’t throw my life away for no gain.

@Etcetera

I don't think you understand how serious this is... if we don't fight back, there might not be an existence to enjoy. Even if you don't fight, the intellect you wield would be of great help.

I’ve been ramping down since I got the Soul blades. I can’t fight this war, man.

@Etcetera

Bud, I'd hate to say it, but... this is bad. Worse than the nobles bad. They almost killed PD and Techi.

*Takes a breath*
You know I’m retired, right?

@Etcetera

Well, I do now. When did that happen?

Myriad Reality

*Sighs*
If you say so. I have to warn you that she was jailed for a reason.

@Etcetera

I trust your words, so I'll be cautious. But ive got worse things to worry about, such as the amaranthine. I wanted to tell you, I found a sample of the stuff. I wanted to see what you thought about the idea of infusing it into our weapons, give us a fighting chance against those guys.
