With all due respect, I'd prefer to use Mierno as a mediator, due to his position.

@Meta

With all due respect, if Mierno asks to be the mediator, I will step down.
However, I would like to point out that I have been the first to seek out and succeed in negotiating for cooperation.
.... speaking of.
*Looks at Mierno.*
Is he aware we're no longer fighting?

Are you a part of this friendbase?

@Meta

*Scratches the back of my head while looking up.* I'm not actually sure.
I ran into Mierno and a few others recently and interacted with them, so at worst I'm just aquaintence to some.
But I still hope to help them out, and that includes this situation.

I don't think this is as easy a solution as you do.

@Meta

It's at least a more effective solution nonetheless right now.
If you have concerns, please address them to me, as I will do my best as acting mediator.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

I don't think so here.

@Meta

Regardless, as long as you're fine with with me acting as a mediator between you and them, I believe the current situation has been resolved.

Hawk: *nods to you*

I along with those allied with The Endless, allign ourselves with you, ma'am.

*Looks surprised for a second before smiling and nodding.*
I thank you.
In accordance to the current situation, what non-lethal resources are available for the purposes of solving the problem with Shinj- no, I should say, Aeron?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

That usually applies socially.

@Meta

Doesn't mean it can't apply otherwise.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Not really applicable here.

@Meta

Really?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

If Aeron even exists.

@Meta

I mean that's probably something easy to confirm.
For now though, you're probably better off at agreeing on something instead of strangling each other over the issue.
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer is a saying after all.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

It places an awful lot of trust into someone who very much desires to kill Shinji.

@Meta

*Raises an eyebrow.*
Who says anything about trust?

As far as this potential agreement is concerned, both of you are compromising on this issue so that you cooperate to some degree and actually make progress towards a different outcome instead of wasting time and effort.

To keep it short, you don't have to trust each other, but that doesn't mean you can't acknowledge and respect each others strength long enough to work together. Worst comes to worst, you help him kill Shinji if he turns into Aeron, and in the best case scenario Shinji lives without Aeron ever becoming a threat.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

That and more.

@Meta

*Pinches the bridge of my nose.*
And my point is that it's a far better fate to kill him should we run into the worst case scenario then to risk Aeron existing as a force of nature or worse, risk that Shinji somehow comes back from it all only for his already hurt mind to be broken by the aftermath of Aeron using his body to wreck what he cared about most.
*Sighs.*
At that point it goes beyond suffering, and enters a living hell.
Besides, we don't even know how Shinji feels about all of this.
