I couldn't agree more.
*Grabs your kneecap and rips away at it when you bend back*
Make sure you truly understand the gravity of what "all costs" means before this is over. I did, long ago.

@Melodious

*What comes away is a clay-like substance, with the same gray solid beneath it*
The gravity of my mission is not my concern. Only its success.
*Suddenly all vision goes dark and senses blank as the space becomes an apparent void of complete emptiness, leaving nothing but the sensation of oneself*

*Casts away the gray goop*
You ought to be.

*Appears within the void as a being of pure sensation, emitting every sense from my body at painful levels, damaging and destroying the receptors of any being experiencing them*

*My figure ripples and distorts, and I let out a bellow just like the one from when the crystal was removed from my body*

@Melodious

*As soon as it leaves your person, the sound becomes a visible sphere around you, which collapses into a hollow ring that flies in my direction and twists randomly before gradually being assimilated into the gleam surrounding me*
...
*My form appears to skip and stutter, and after an imperceptible amount of time, reaches toward you and touches your chest, unleashing pure sensation into you*

*Grabs your wrist with the firmness of someone who is both in pain and determined*
You waste everyone's time.
*The condensed Brinkspace within me spreads out, forming my own little bubble of Brinkspace reality within the void*

@Melodious

*When your words exit the Brinkspace plane, they spiral and assimilate into my form like the previous attack; after, all accumulated sensation in the void strikes at your being through the Brinkspace, adopting an incomprehensible nature and structure*

*Generates within my hands a sphere of reality which is much denser in the Outside portion of Brinkspace, and therefore its instability. Filtered through the unstable reality I've generated for myself, this attack does not land with its full potential, and I unwaveringly project the condensed sphere of reality into the void between us*

*It expands into a much larger bubble of reality that attaches to the one around me, with a large tear through its space-time*

*Both of these actions continue unimpeded and I appear on the ship*
Prepare your defenses. We have limited time.

*Blinks when you show up*
Defenses? I've been using all of mine from the start. What's happening?

@GalaxyRaider

I’ve temporarily trapped the target in a sensory deprivation zone. I can’t do that often.

Okay... We can regroup, at least. Where is everyone else?

Bah... He didn't get the gem back, did he?

It looked to me, based on what I was keeping an eye on through surveillance looking in from outside, that he can control it to some degree while it's detached, but it's not acting as an endless battery for him... Basically, he has finite stamina. Or, had...

@GalaxyRaider

Can we capture the crystal and contain each separately?

I could section it off like I did to protect myself in the initial room, I suppose. What are the odds we get our hands on it a second time, though?
