It would be best for all parties involved if you got out of my way. I'm taking back what's mine, and I don't appreciate you being in my way.

@Webmaster

Look, this is gonna sound really weird coming from me, but there's no need for anyone to get hurt right now. You can settle this later when we're not in this situation. For all we know this little girl is gonna be helpful for us.

@Threads of Fate

Don't worry. She won't be hurt.

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Well, you just said that I had powers, but from my perspective, I have no special abilities. If anything, you do.

@Techspert

I do, but I'm one of those exceptions I mentioned earlier. Just about all IA soldiers are just ordinary people with access to some of the best mainline technological advancements known in Existence. I have powers, you have powers. Usually, it's anything and everything a normal human can't do.

Two people who would be better off dead. Yay me.

@Armed Forces

Right, that's what I don't understand. Why is a human the standard for a "normal" being?

Oh my gods stop with the teen angst. Either tell us what's going on as we head out or just come with us and not tell us. Either way we need to get going.

Stop with the little girl period mood swings. I'm taking myself back.

@Webmaster

*I rub my temples* You literally can not even comprehend how strict of a schedule we're working with. Please just explain what's going on while we move and if it's a good idea to let you kill her we'll get out of your way. This standing around is wasting precious frames.

@Techspert

Because most sapient species, even if they aren't human, rest at about the "human standard".

@Armed Forces

What do you mean? I know a lot of species that have something that helps, and I know humans have their own traits.

I'm here to reclaim the childhood that left me.

You'd be laughing a lot less had I ever actually lived with you.

@Techspert

A lot due, but that doesn't account for the majority. When I talk about powers, I mean the really unique stuff, like this.
*Pulls out a pistol and my sword, fires a plasma bolt into the air, and freezes it in place*
Or your explosive attacks and tentacle things. Sure, some species might be stronger than others, and otbers might be smarter. That's not what I'm talking about though.

@Webmaster

No no, it's just I never thought I'd ever hear anything like that said seriously. *Tries to stop laughing but fails*

@Webmaster

That's actually a very good reason not to let you do that until we've made some progress. Now to be a bit hypocritical, patience is a virtue so hurry up and let's go.

@DarkwolfX37

I have the rest of my life to finish this with no other reason to live, just like she has her one reason to live. So I'm happy to waste as much of your time as necessary.

@Armed Forces

I guess my point is just that I don't really understand why one specific species defines "normal" when I wouldn't be anything special outside of any other crosses. How do you know what qualifies as a "power" when a human with a machine gun could take out so many other creatures without being considered powerful.

@Techspert

Because that isn't a power. It's a weapon. The species itself doesn't define the normal standard, it's just that the majority of species rest at that level and it's easiest for me, as a human, to relate things of this sort to the capabilities of humanity.
