Then the most critical attributes are still appropriately constrained.

Indeed. We seem to be facing a number of slow timers. That condition provides us time to consider and act, but withholds from us the luxury of stockpiling resources and information indefinitely.

<Snipped quote by Zealz>

That is equal parts impressive and terrifying to imagine.

@Unhinged

Perks of being non organic I guess?

I can simulate the feeling, along with others, but in reality I cannot experience what others can. My sibling can since my creator made them more…human?

@Zealz

You seemed fine to me up until the moment you said you detached your own arm.

@System

No need to rush much... But I may need to put finding Ridge on the backburner soon, as much as it hurts.

@Unhinged

Oh! Uh yeah, that is a bit embarrassing…

@Valiance

In order to contend with the Hidden Elements debacle? Ridge’s situation may be more temporally urgent.

That all depends on Akora. That timer could very easily be incredibly short and neither of us are the wiser.

@Zealz

I mean, you can put it back. So it's not all that embarrassing surely.

@Valiance

Simultaneously, Ridge’s timer depends on your unknown adversary. We may have no time to spare whatsoever.

@System

Difference being one timer’s expiration will be explosively obvious. The other could slide under the radar. I plant to shift my bets as it becomes more and more likely for Akora to return.

@Valiance

On the subject of timers, has anything else noteworthy transpired since my withdrawal?

@System

Would be news to me if it had. But I guess that depends on how out of the loop you are.

No word on Garsun’s activities either?

Silence. He took his tower and went totally off the grid.

@Valiance

From what I understand, that itself could be worthy of concern.

@System

The tower is one large, nigh-untraceable weapon of mass destruction. It's incredibly concerning.

@Valiance

And your people haven’t discovered some way to stop it in the intervening years?
