That makes it less desirable. You do understand that, yes?

@Techspert

Of course. But there is no such thing as a weapon that will only be used to help people. A weapon's purpose is to harm, not to help. It's how that harm is directed that makes it helpful. By existing, a weapon cannot be only helpful to people.

And this will be used to help people and only to help people?

@Techspert

I can't confirm or deny that. The purpose is to keep someone safe, beyond that is up to them.

Mierno: Wait, did you say that Unity was defeated?

@souleaterfan320

I did.

Now, Lizbeth may be tougher to convince. If I may ask, because you brought it up, does this have anything to do with Unity?

@Techspert

It does not.

Mierno:

Can you tell a noble?

@souleaterfan320

No.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

And no words on what it's needed for?

@Techspert

Classified.

@Threads of Fate

Mierno: wait, whats this about nobles?

...that sounds like lizbeth.

@souleaterfan320

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

Ah; as soon as you mentioned the Nobility, I had expected this. Lizbeth is quite the creator, but despite the freedom, nobody has made a weapons request. There's no telling whether she will even accept one, despite us making it available. If her hearing hasn't returned to any degree, it would also be quite difficult; if she happened to no longer be alive, things would become even more difficult.

@Techspert

Luckily, the design and most specifics have already been figured out. It's the immense skill required to make it a reality that makes me need her help. Obviously, I can't really ensure that she keeps to the design, but from what I've heard of her, it's worthwhile to trust in her judgement on it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

I'll take it.

@Techspert

Among the group known as "The Nobles," there is an incredibly talented blacksmith, the likes of which cannot be matched without incredible resources. My request is that she make a specific weapon, and that it be placed in protective care for quite some time.

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

Logic is just what I do. But you've sure given yourself good odds; is there any information you can give that you haven't?

@Techspert

Not off the top of my head, unless you'd like to know what the request is.

You misunderstand my point. The fact that you may be making a gamble here makes it very difficult for both of us; in fact, you've entirely disconnected the variable, if true. If you had this planned in the first place, there'd be a constant to derive a result from. But because the results may be entirely unknown to you, it being a risk instead of a calculated means, there is no way for us to determine whether we should help you. Whether intentional or not, you've effectively reduced the chances to a clean 50/50. And I don't like that.

They're quite beautiful, though I'm more of a computery guy myself.

@Techspert

You have it backwards. I've raised them to fifty-fifty. That's why of the terrible options available to me, this was the best one. To simply make the approach and leave it out of my hands. Even though we could claim it's an even shot now, really, this has a less than one percent chance for me, which is still the highest among the few options I had. You being incredibly intelligent and analytical is a bonus.

I see.
