Uhuh. Different, but the same. Got it.

@Malevocholy

You know as well as I do that I work exclusively in the realm of useless discoveries. If my work were worthy of the briefing, it would not be worth doing and I would immediately quit.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Your isolated sense of humor is one of the good reasons to consider going, just to hear people. Is your current work not about to change the status quo entirely?

@Malevocholy

Preserve the status quo, my boy. Completely different.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

And yet a short while from now, the second part will have changed.

@Malevocholy

Have you heard some kind of rumor I haven't been told, Bui?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

My being older than you aside, how much longer do you expect this to take?

@Malevocholy

Long enough to skip the briefing. Besides, it's the same year in and year out: "Yes, we're looking for energy, no the status quo has not changed, and yes, you are all still stuck on this forsaken planet."

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

It'd make a bad impression if I didn't. What about you?

@Malevocholy

I'm far beyond matters of impression, my boy. Besides, today is a grand day for much more important reasons.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Everyone raves about everything, it seems. I don't mind being late anyway.

@Malevocholy

*Waves the soldering gun in a circle in the air*
Ah, but you do plan to attend?

Myriad Reality

*Hastily solders a small set of daughterboards together*
Are you not planning to attend the Holy Briefing? Everyone else in the city is raving about it this year.

It would appear that according to reported data that the generals all identify with a callsign of a tarot card. The are as follows:

Aeron has gone by World, Death and Devil.
Ezmeralda has gone by the Empress.
One is known as Temperance and Justice. We believe he has similar abilities as Prism.
Alethia, the copy of Kat, is known as the High Priestess.
Cain was known as the Chariot and Judgement.
Abel was known as Strength and the Emperor.
One known as Artorias goes by Hermit and Hierophant.
Adrian goes by Sun or Star.
An unknown unit has been identified as the Tower or Magician.
My... Ex, Kirina, has been identified as Wheel Of Fortune and Moon.
There are 4 others that have not been idedntified, codenames have been reported to be the Lovers, Hanged Man, and Fool.

*Nods*
Okay, that's really great. Does Alethia look just like Kat?

Shinji:
They all operate together, like a well oiled machine. They were using those two Generals to keep us from advancing too fast.

*checks on-scren info on my helmet, and sneds it to yours*

They've capured 30 dimensions fully just in that time we fought. This isn't going well.

@souleaterfan320

Do you know what the generals look like? I might be able to pull a string or two.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

*Smirks, as the amaranthine particles currently holding each water particle ripple from your water's attempt to escape, and begin to grow smaller, compressing the water particles with each passing second*

Shinji: enough.

*A flash nearly impossible to register with the human eye slashes through Abels hand, lopping it off his arm and causing the orbs to weaken in strength. Suddenly, your Argus suit gives you a near double boost in power*

Shinji: *speaks to abby telepathically*

This is your chance, break out with the knife and hit him hard!

@souleaterfan320

*My form becomes streams of running water, infused with the Argus as they move in perfect laminar flow, appearing still and frozen in the air but moving deadly quickly, shredding anything they touch*
Can do!
*Three blades of ice, headed by the knife, spear through you in the blink of an eye, and then further saw outward to shred your body to pieces*
