<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*Quietly surveys the battlefield after attacking the barrier*
Robyn leaves me with just three for now, is that it? Easily done.

@Nemeses

Maybe you'll kill me. But you won't have my will; you'll never have it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

I won’t make you... But I have to find him, as soon as possible.
*The jets in the feet of my armor spark to life*
We can’t afford to dawdle, but... Everything will be okay. I promise.
*Rockets off into space as well*

@GalaxyRaider

*Quietly*
I hope so...

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

I make no promises.
*Smashes into the center point of where the virus barriers stem from, and from that point, sends a ripple out along their ranks that incinerates them instantly*
Your way did not work. Now we try mine.

@Nemeses

*A dark hole opens up next to me briefly before closing*

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*Comes forward and puts a hand on your shoulder*
You... Don’t have to stay. If you don’t want.

@GalaxyRaider

...
*Shakes my head*
I... thought I wouldn't, but... I–I have to.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*Lets you go*
There are a couple more things that must be done. Artahe... I know it’s worthless to ask, but do be gentle.
*Jets off into the void of space faster than detectable, the usual traces of my presence being masked as my whereabouts quickly become lost*

@Melodious

*Holds my hands to my chest, trying unsuccessfully to suppress tears after you leave*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*My shoulders slump slightly*
Your opposition saddens me the most. I cannot save artificial beings the same way I can natural ones... I understand your emotional motivators, and I still will not fall to desire to kill.
*Looks over to Isaac*
Not again.

@Melodious

*Grits my teeth*
If you’re tainted by your own ideals, how can you force them onto us? I might be artificial, but even my viruses understand what it means to be alive more than you!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

The catch isn’t for you. The catch is for me. I need Existence specifically, but the opposition comes from the same place as yours. False assumptions.

@Melodious

*Stares at you with the swirling mix of emotions before it settles into anger behind my eyes*
I won’t. Release. The viruses. And if you delete me, there will be ten thousand more to take my place. And ten thousand more behind them.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

It isn’t even fake. These are all false pretenses you've invented because you believe whatever I would want for the world has some sort of catch.

@Melodious

If there wasn’t a catch, you wouldn’t have to force it on us!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Better than living a life entirely unchanged from the one you know?

@Melodious

*My face cringes in an unplaceable mix of emotions*
Death is so much better than a fake life!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

And here you still greatly misunderstand... Despite Artahe’s tendency to prefer killing as a tool to solve problems, there are reasons we still work together. Not one absorbed world is gone. Not one honorable fighter is dead. This is the power I truly wield.

@Melodious

But that’s not the point! Death is better than... than this!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Not a soul I have touched has died. No matter what you see or believe.
*Tilts my head sideways just a tad*
Here we are, at what amounts to be what you would probably call your final push against me, but how much do you really know?

@Melodious

Delegating their death to someone else is still murder, whether you wanted to or not! But all of us are willing to die here for this, and that’s what proves that you’re a liar!
