Could you be more specific? Overall, the worst we can face is a zero-percent chance in some circumstances I can't predict. The best is a forty-seven percent chance if we manage to not only stop the war from leaving the galaxy it's currently stuck in, but also have all of both sides wiped out and all of the most powerful undecideds join us.


What factors have you accounted for to make your estimations?
...
Is this really the state of the Codex at this point?

Regardless. Our chances as they stand now are around two percent of defeating Nyarlathotep. If we free Azathoth, that chance raises to thirty. That's our best shot. There are unknown factors, such as the more powerful Codi still not aligned with either side, but those close to Azathoth would quickly rejoin her, and the battle between them and Nyarlathotep's closer allies would weaken both sides. Unfortunately, I won't be able to participate if we go this route, as I'll be preoccupied with preventing direct confrontation from the two. At best, if we can ally everyone not already on their sides, we have just under a fifty-fifty shot at victory. Those are our best odds, as they stand now. If we count the rest of our universe being dragged into this fight, that goes down significantly. To offset this, I invited Ma'at's mate; if he assists, we may be able to prevent the war from spreading. Though this is all to be said without the possibility of other universes joining with Nyarlathotep, or should we release her, Azathoth.


What are the best and worst possible probabilities that we might face?

Thanks, Mr. Insulted.

This whole organisation is chock full of people who would prefer that others in this organisation did not exist, and that’s the entire problem. If we all got our wish, we’d all be gone. So we’re all going to have to learn to deal with each other. *Pauses* If I have to say sorry for insulting you, I will. But I won’t be your doormat.


Despite the fact that we'd all be better off.
<Snipped quote by System>

If I don’t want to deal with someone who wants me to pretend I don’t exist, what is that to you? *Groans* This is exactly how I’m not supposed to be acting.


I'm not the only one who would prefer you not exist.
<Snipped quote by System>

I resent that, but I’m not going to waste my voice arguing with you and give you space to take more of it away from me. Any concessions I make, I’m making out of very strained courtesy, because I’m sure you’re as concerned about this as I am.

What the probability Codex said. I need to get her name. But we’re all going to die unless we all work together not to die, so I’m glad you came.


I consider that an insult at best.
<Snipped quote by System>

*Indignantly*Allow me—! *Takes a deep breath* Authority and voice are two different things entirely.


And you've forfeited both.
<Snipped quote by System>

Look, the way I see it, you and I both feel like the other is going to ruin everything for the Codex. I’m not content to stay once the background, but you make good points about my previous chances, and I hate that, but I’m willing to play second or third or fourth fiddle so we don’t butt heads as long as I can still talk.


I see no reason to allow you any level of authority after what you've done.
<Snipped quote by System>

We’ll just see what the situation demands. Ask your questions with a loud voice, if you want; step to the front when you do it, if you want. Just don’t act deliberately divisively. I’ll try not to, either. I had a bad enough time with Seth, and that ended... as badly as anything could.


Again, I would kindly ask that you step into the background and remain there. I have enough to worry about as it is.
<Snipped quote by System>

I’m not making it to anybody but myself. My speech is done; the Codex are “galvanised” for now. Let’s stop making airs.


Then I think it's your turn to step away.
