This is what I meant about no one listening... I want to do right by this. Even if you didn’t make it out of here, I’d still want to look into it deeply, but I’d prefer that you not die.

@Multifarious

For what? You’ll let it go like all the rest and I’ll lose the one shot I have to save the people I care about.

Er, Spirit? You wanna give us some info on this guy and what he can do?

Crippling weakness. Got it.

@Webmaster

As if. You think I’m just dismissing all this talk if a horrible future?

@Multifarious

Like everybody else, you’ll do nothing about it.

@Webmaster

... No.

@Multifarious

I gave up everything to come to this time and save the future. And when that failed, I gave myself to saving the one person who got me through the nightmare that we grew up in. And when I finally try to act on it, every single person has turned me away because it’s too hard to do what has to be done. You have no right to lecture me about justice!

@Webmaster

Is it being “too hard to do” the truth, or what you tell yourself instead of thinking about how wrong it is? I’m sure you tell everyone that it’s either kill Data, or get lost, and you don’t listen to them just like you haven’t today. That can change.

*Clenches my fist*
You. Have. No. Idea. I'm done trusting you people. You've burnt that bridge.

@Webmaster

You never even asked me, and I’m sure so many others. Then again, maybe it’s “too hard for you to do what has to be done.”

@Multifarious

I've asked enough! And now that the stars have aligned and salvation is finally within my reach, you want me to talk it through with you? Just for you to do the same and ignore it? He's clearly no better than the Data from my timeline or he wouldn't have activated the System change early!

I believe I see the truth now.

You... you do?

@Webmaster

Your trauma has driven you mad. You've become a machine, hardwired with one goal and one goal only.
*Frowns*
You poor thing. Whether this battle kills you or not, I vow to take up the mantle and see your concerns through to the very end the way it should be done. My new Porsenthe. Purpose.

*My face falls*
I don’t want your pity. I’m not insane. I’m doing what everyone needs me to do.

*Shakes my head*
We appreciate your warning, time traveler, but we're more than capable of protecting our own timeline. The position you have doesn't just mean you know best.
*Shifts my position just slightly, assuming a very rigid and passive fighting stance*

*My arms appear to glimmer, almost translucently*
I guess that’s that, then.
*Drops the field disabling teleportation and appears on the ground before reenabling it—the next moment, I flood the region with randomly fluctuating magnetic fields in attempts to obscure others*

*Nods*
Without the neutron star, I doubt she has much strength remaining. With the reality projection systems back under my control, she won’t be going far.
