Hm, we could of course carve into its base, but that may attract unwanted attention.

@System

You think whatever that radiation is is dangerous?

@Valiance

We could always test it. I need a moment to prepare, though.

*Three other Ashes appear*

Ashe 1: Did you all get your data?

Ashe 3: Yep. Firmware updates are all complete, got the big Zero's brain scans all downloaded. Skills and such are all ready.

Ashe 2: Of course. Isis' data has been recorded.

Ashe 4: Sorry it took so long, but the non-combat data is all ready.

Ashe 5: ... Bio-anomalous data has been recorded. Genetics have been prepared.

Ashe 1: Excellent! Then we just have to wait for the Alpha and Omega versions to show up. I can confirm that progress of absorption is on schedule. We're through a couple thousand iterations, so we should just have to get it over with and be done.

Ashe 3: Do we have the data from Mr. "I'm so retired now"?

Ashe 4: We do. We'll be classified as an ACW.

Ashe 5: ... Are we all mentally prepared...?

Ashe 2: As much as I can be, I think. Hard to prepare for something like this.

Ashe 1: True, true. But it's not like we're really going away.

Ashe 4: Exactly!

*The original Ashe appears from a portal*

Ashe 3: The alpha is here.

Ashe 1: Now to wait for the omega.

Alpha Ashe: I'm getting goosebumps now that we're so close. It'll be weird to be a dual type, but I guess there are people who have it even more complex than we will, and they're fine.

Ashe 4: Mhm. We'll be supporting you from now on, so please lead us well.

Alpha Ashe: Of course!

@Codify

*Another Ashe finally appears*

Omega Ashe: Sorry for the wait, everyone!

Ashe 4: Not a problem.

Ashe 1: Yeah, not a big deal!

Omega Ashe: So are you all ready?

Ashe 2: I think we're as ready as we'll ever be.

Alpha Ashe: Then let's get started.

*All of the Ashes except the Alpha Ashe and Omega Ashe deactivate, and the Alpha Ashe takes a chip out of each of their necks and inserts them into her wrists*

Omega Ashe: How about you, are you ready?

Alpha Ashe: I guess. I already sent Aero a message, I don't know if she's got it yet. Snail mail and all that.

Omega Ashe: Why did you not send it digitally?

Alpha Ashe: And have her get all mushy on us right now? Heck no. Anyway, I'm ready.

*Alpha Ashe holds her arms out for a hug and Omega Ashe hugs her*

Alpha Ashe: See you on the inside.

*Omega Ashe splits open and Alpha Ashe is pulled inside of her before Omega Ashe closes and glows a bright white color*

@System

*Nods, then squats down and places my palm flat against the ground*

@Valiance

*Removes a thin strip from my belt, like paper, and inscribes a series of sharp, intertwining diagrams before folding the strip itself into a complex pattern*

*The ground can be felt shifting ever so slightly where you stand*

Is that where you want your adventure to be? Take a ride on the pain train?

@Multifarious

Phhh, you little simulations won’t compare to the absolute destruction you are about to experience.

@Blabbo

You have a rude awakening coming if you think I haven’t seen the real deal.

[GalaxyRaider]

*Saunters reluctantly up to a metal pod containing my signature armor and glances inside, bags under my eyes. After only moments, I wince and snap my gaze away, leaning with one arm against the pod and looking down at the floor*

@Multifarious

Well, that statement was in fact rude especially since I am already awake.

Keep one eye open next time you sleep. That’s all I’m saying.

*squints*
What if I do this instead?

@Blabbo

Then I will diagnose you with a mild case of the stupids.

@Multifarious

But I can see slightly better, so it’s a win

@Blabbo

… Do you need glasses?

[Blabbo]

<Snipped quote by Blabbo>

@Multifarious

No! I think you may have caught the stupids as well. Have you ever heard binoculars? When you shrink them it refines the vision. Same with your eyes silly.

@Blabbo

That’s not how that works at all. Unless your vision is bad.

@Multifarious

Aha! So it does work! You just confirmed it!!

@Blabbo

And you just confirmed you need glasses.

@Multifarious

I do not, my vision is amazing. I can see just fine.
