Well, I guess that makes sense. Okay, well, I'm assuming now that this outcome is certain, we have a better chance than we did before, anyway, even if it's not the max. Next question: do you think you can help us confirm that entropy is permanently reversible with the NaN sector?

@Disdain

It is. Even in a worst case scenario, there appears to be an "Admin" who could do so manually if necessary.

So, you're saying that this wasn't that implausible after all?

@Disdain

I was asked for possibilities that don't fall under implausibility, which I define as ten percent. There's is an above ten percent chance of her assisting if all the other Codex work together.

@LegendBegins

Given that death is already almost a certainty if we don't win and only a possibility if we do, I'm hoping that the Codex will take your deal in exchange for your help. Ulthar, how much will Baphumet's joining us raise our chances?

@Disdain

I added her in our best possible outcomes of fourty-seven and fifty-four.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're not trying to make some dirty deal. Ulthar, what are the odds that we all die if we fail at our goal?

@Disdain

I don't need to use my powers to tell you it's very high.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

I understand your dedication. How dedicated can you inspire the other Codex to become?

@Legend Begins

I don't think I can very much.

Myriad Reality

@Threads of Fate
<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

I think it would. But But this Codex—what's your name, by the way?—says that we all have to work together for the best odds. So that hurdle is still there, though maybe not as high as it has to be set for your ritual.

@Disdain

Xirqiae-Ulthar. You may call me Ulthar if that's simpler.

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

Failure is more likely than success. That is all.

@Legend Begins

Correct, unfortunately.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

The statistics on the likelihood of your success again?

@Legend Begins

You want me to list them again, or are you asking if that's what I'm referring to?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

Having no reason to believe that order will not cease being generated is not sufficient. Even granting that true generation of order is taking place, I do not have confidence that such a change is non-volatile.

@Legend Begins

The main problem with it is what I'm here for. The generating of Codex abilities among Codi. Many of which include the power of entropy control, though none on the scale you're after. I understand that you've spent your life dealing with that problem, but it's not a problem anymore.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

Elaborate on why you believe the problem to be solved.

@Legend Begins

Alright, how about a history lesson? Shortly after the first Triggers had their war, the Not a Number District split from Existence, because in order to access it even the Original Generator required the power of the Triggers. Since they were no longer a part of it, and mostly died, the split wasn't able to be stopped. This created a few changes in Existence, such as how the Codex's abilities worked, and created a situation where Code could only be created. This is the origin of your fears. However, by creating a situation wherein one Trigger could regain the state of the original Trigger that was part of the Mammon Machine, the Precursor was able to allow it access back to the NaN District. Thanks to this, Existence was overwritten in certain areas because of discrepancies between it and the various Akashic Records stored in the NaN. With the NaN back in full force and no longer limited in size as it was when they split, there's no reason to believe that order is in limited supply. The NaN can once again grow endlessly, so there is always the ability for more of concepts to be created and expanded.
