<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Everything seems to suddenly glitch and the ship is back and shining with a golden bright hue. The tesseract begins to hover independently off from my belt and suddenly is surrounded with a blinding yellow ring of fire and light*

Uuuh... Prism what is happening? are you going to do anything? She seems to want to collapse the entire universe on us!

*You and Prism both hear the voice of Alioth back in your heads, also me for the very first time but nobody else*

Alioth: PRISM I GAVE YOU A RESPONSIBILITY, SHE IS MESSING AROUND IN THE WRONG COSMIC BACKYARD, THREATENING THE STABILITY OF THIS UNIVERSE BECAUSE SHE HAS A TEMPER TANTRUM! AND IF SHE DOESN'T STOP THIS I WILL SHOW HER JUST HOW INSIGNIFICANT SHE REALLY IS!

Soldier Boy: What the HELL is happening?!?! Who just talked in my skull

Alioth: BENJAMIN, IT WAS TIME I INTRODUCED MYSELF, EVEN THOUGH I DID ONCE, YOU JUST FORGOT... I AM THE ONE WHO CHOSE YOU AND SHAPED YOU INTO THE BETTER VERSION OF YOURSELF... MY NAME IS ALIOTH.

It’s—more an act of rebellion! She reacts strongly to being pushed!

Alioth: AND IN THE PROCESS DESTROYING THE UNIVERSE AND MULTIVERSE I PUT SO MUCH WORK IN BALANCING OVER THE PAST 789 DUODECILLION EONS?

@Etcetera

Alioth: RIGHT REBELLION IT IS LITTLE SPECK OF DUST IN THE VASTNESS... BECAUSE ANYTHING THAT TRIES TO HELP YOU, IS MISSINTERPRETED AS PUSHING YOU...

*All the blood starts boiling and bursts into blazes of white light simmering and some of it turns into golden tendrils that wrap around Misty causing a strong sense of sedation*

Alioth: HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH PRISM? ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO LET HER PUSH MY BUTTONS? AT THIS POINT MY MERCY CAN ONLY TOLERATE SO MUCH IMBALANCE AND SHE TRULY IS BEHAVING LIKE PURE CHAOS RIGHT NOW, I'M ALLERGIC TO CHAOS!

*All effects and chaotic influences in the dimension cease once your influence ability activates, but your own consciousness finds itself in a peaceful void, standing on an onyx surface extending infinitely in every direction and deaf to all external influences, and your physical body appears to be a version of itself full of static*

* Again that bellowing cosmic voice now pierces through whatever mental shielding had, and on top of the sedation, she is now compelled to relax and take a breather with a strong sense of 'what the heck just happened to my will' *

Soldier Boy: Cool, so now we are talking are we?

Misty, what are you—

@Memory

*Shoves two fingers through your forehead, and your mind is veiled from itself, me, and those around us, isolating your subconscious in a structure akin to a pocket dimension*

[The Odeoron]

*In the meantime, the Shuttle fully docks, while the blazing tesseract hovers next to my head*

Soldier Boy: Are you just gonna hover there and nag? Grab a glass and leave me be, look at what is happening!

Alioth: *Sighs... again* I... I DON'T DRINK... NOR COULD SUCH A SUBTANCE INFLUENCE ME IN ANY MEANINGFUL WAY

Soldier Boy: *Chugs the bottle of whisky down then burps* AAAAH! That hit the spot!

*The static effect disappears and we both stand there as if we never left*

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

Oh, really? I wonder why your people's history is so different.

@Fractured

It's a common theme for knowledge of the future to cause people to take actions that ruin things, intentionally or otherwise.

Alioth: JUST SO YOU KNOW BEN, MY COMMUNICATION ABILITIES ARE EXTREMEMLY LIMITED WHEN INTERVENING IN SUCH LOWER DIMENSIONS AS YOUR UNIVERSE, AND ONLY ABLE TO REALLY EXERT AUTONOMY WHEN THE TESSERACT IS PUSHED TO REALITY BENDING EXTREMES, SO WE WON'T BE ABLE TO TALK FOR LONG, BUT BASICALLY --

Soldier Boy: You plucked me... hick! from my world, and dropped me in this storm of utter refuse without much explaining right?

Alioth: I... EH... YOU ARE ALREADY TOO DRUNK RIGHT? YOU'LL SOON SEE THE REASONS WHY...

*The pilot announces that we docked and that we may disembark, while the rest of the soldiers just look like they've seen a ghost when looking at the three of us*

I mean, it is what it is. I’m not gonna try and say prophecy and all the stuff in that vein is entirely bad all the time. But it has a tendency, is all.

@Stratocracy

So your kind just ignore destiny entirely? I could understand it if you did that for fate, since it’s inevitable, but aren’t you worried you’re going to miss out on a better future?

@Fractured

It’s not a “kind” thing. It’s a me thing. Lots of people individually just choose to believe it or not, but that’s my and a lot of other people’s takeaway too.
*Stretches my arms out*
Besides, I’m sure it’s also different if you come from a place with a bit more mystical attunement.

@Stratocracy

That sort of thing is very popular where I’m from. It really helps us figure out the right path.
