*appears through a portal*
Spirit has injured himself. I will take his stead.

[Balance]

<Snipped quote by Balance>

I am.

@Etcetera

-Soren- Great. It's good to meet you. Do you have any prior experience in mental manipulation?

*appears through a portal*
Spirit has injured himself. I will take his stead.

@Spiritblitz

-Ruby- Are you strong mentally?

[Host]

<Snipped quote by Host>

Yeah, in a sense.

@Valiance

But is it always true?

[Valiance]

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

-Soren- Great. It's good to meet you. Do you have any prior experience in mental manipulation?

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

-Ruby- Are you strong mentally?

@Balance

If you let him in, make that the cutoff. There's such a thing as too much help.

[Valiance]

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

But is it always true?

@Host

If you're flexible enough, or adaptable, as you said, then yes.

[Etcetera]

<Snipped quote by Balance>

@Valiance

X: I disagree with this statement.

@Spiritblitz

X: Noted.

@Balance

*Laughs*
Data: To a great extent.

[Host]

<Snipped quote by Host>

@Valiance

But doesn't it apply to the enemy too?

[Balance]

<Snipped quote by Balance>

@Valiance

-Soren- That's apparently X's decision, but I agree.

@Etcetera

Okay.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

But doesn't it apply to the enemy too?

@Host

Yep.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

-Soren- That's apparently X's decision, but I agree.

@Balance

Hm.

[Host]

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Okay.

<Snipped quote by Host>

Yep.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Hm.

@Valiance

So both of you can keep finding another way and be stuck in deadlock.

[Valiance]

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

So both of you can keep finding another way and be stuck in deadlock.

@Host

Until one proves to be more adaptable than the other.

[Etcetera]

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Okay.

<Snipped quote by Host>

Yep.

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Hm.

@Valiance

X: A Redundant Array of Independent Beings. More is always better.

[Host]

<Snipped quote by Host>

Until one proves to be more adaptable than the other.

@Valiance

And if they're completely equal?

[Valiance]

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

X: A Redundant Array of Independent Beings. More is always better.

@Etcetera

Too much can lead to some getting in others' way. There's a point where efficiency becomes mistakes as the numbers pile on.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

And if they're completely equal?

@Host

Luck.

@Etcetera

-Soren- I'll take your word for it.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

X: A Redundant Array of Independent Beings. More is always better.

@Etcetera

-Ruby- Can you think of anybody else to bring in, then? I can't.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

<Snipped quote by Host>

Luck.

@Valiance

-Ruby- It's worth noting that I'll be making sure all of the power is directed toward each connection, actually.

@Balance

Even worse. That's more placed on your shoulders. More room for error.

[Host]

<Snipped quote by Host>

Luck.

@Valiance

That's not very reassuring.

Luck.

@Valiance

X: Not if grouped correctly.

@Balance

X: No need. There is sufficient redundancy.

[Valiance]

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

That's not very reassuring.

@Host

It's just the way it works. It's like a rock-paper-scissors thing. Ignoring all other factors, luck beats flexibility, flexibility beats planning, and olanning beats luck.

@Etcetera

I just don't have the heart to debate right now. Just put me where I'm needed so we can get this thing done.
