Marae sighed, looking slightly away from Freyr. She seemed frustrated, though it was hard to say exactly at what. She could have been frustrated with Freyr’s decisions, or perhaps with the Outreman government for pressing them into this sort of situation. Either way, she could recognize what they could and could not change at this point. It would be best to evacuate the city, or even move the Cradle itself. It would be best to collaborate and design an automated system that could do what they needed it to do, but they did not have time. They did not have the option to do what was best; they would only be able to do what they could. 

“Well…look, can we at least do what we can to limit the danger? How much of our team will [i]truly[/i] be needed in there? Maybe we should just send only those who [i]absolutely[/i] need to be there in person? Everyone else can still keep in contact from here to give advice and lend their expertise. If you want to decide who that would be, well…just think about it this way. This object we have found, and the entity it contains, it is exceptionally advanced. Its programming and hardware architecture is something even I can’t just look at and understand right away. For a being that advanced, if its plan fails, what do you think we would be able to do that it couldn’t? What advice or assistance do you think any of us would be able to give it that it couldn’t already do better than any of us? Whatever those things are, the people responsible for them should be the ones to go in the simulation. Everyone else can stay out here.” Marae suggested. She hoped that sort of compromise would be something they could work with, though if she was being honest, she did not know off the top of her head what they would be able to contribute that the entity could not handle on its own.
