Again, I would kindly ask that you step into the background and remain there. I have enough to worry about as it is.

@System

Look, the way I see it, you and I both feel like the other is going to ruin everything for the Codex. I’m not content to stay once the background, but you make good points about my previous chances, and I hate that, but I’m willing to play second or third or fourth fiddle so we don’t butt heads as long as I can still talk.

@Disdain

I see no reason to allow you any level of authority after what you've done.

*Indignantly*Allow me—! *Takes a deep breath* Authority and voice are two different things entirely.

And you've forfeited both.

Hey...
*After another moment's rest, I get up.*
Think this will be enough?

@Stabby

Shinji:
Yes. If you could, I'l need some time. Is there anything you can do to hold off any stragglers? All itll take is 10 minutes.

Hekrom: *walks up to Ma'at*

I was in the middle of important research. Whats the matter?

@System

I resent that, but I’m not going to waste my voice arguing with you and give you space to take more of it away from me. Any concessions I make, I’m making out of very strained courtesy, because I’m sure you’re as concerned about this as I am.

What the probability Codex said. I need to get her name. But we’re all going to die unless we all work together not to die, so I’m glad you came.

@Disdain

I consider that an insult at best.

@System

If I don’t want to deal with someone who wants me to pretend I don’t exist, what is that to you? *Groans* This is exactly how I’m not supposed to be acting.

@Disdain

I'm not the only one who would prefer you not exist.

If the thing that was going to kill us was Baphumet, I was working on that.

@System

This whole organisation is chock full of people who would prefer that others in this organisation did not exist, and that’s the entire problem. If we all got our wish, we’d all be gone. So we’re all going to have to learn to deal with each other. *Pauses* If I have to say sorry for insulting you, I will. But I won’t be your doormat.

No, now it’s our entire universe.

Despite the fact that we'd all be better off.

Is this really the state of the Codex at this point?

Regardless. Our chances as they stand now are around two percent of defeating Nyarlathotep. If we free Azathoth, that chance raises to thirty. That's our best shot. There are unknown factors, such as the more powerful Codi still not aligned with either side, but those close to Azathoth would quickly rejoin her, and the battle between them and Nyarlathotep's closer allies would weaken both sides. Unfortunately, I won't be able to participate if we go this route, as I'll be preoccupied with preventing direct confrontation from the two. At best, if we can ally everyone not already on their sides, we have just under a fifty-fifty shot at victory. Those are our best odds, as they stand now. If we count the rest of our universe being dragged into this fight, that goes down significantly. To offset this, I invited Ma'at's mate; if he assists, we may be able to prevent the war from spreading. Though this is all to be said without the possibility of other universes joining with Nyarlathotep, or should we release her, Azathoth.

What are the best and worst possible probabilities that we might face?
