Regardless, come down here or I’ll figure out how to cancel this operation on my own.

*Looks down at you for a moment, as though thinking, but then the platform quickly finishes its ascent and comes to a stop level with the floor*

Surely the test can be delayed, and we can sort out this situation.

@Legend

It can't. I assure you, the time crunch is mutual. Besides, firing it can't be reversed now. Don't go messing with settings after I spent time determining exactly how to discharge the thing without hurting anyone.

*Looks upward*
We’re in a time crunch. Would you make your case quickly?

@Legend

I'm firing the weapon in a remote location as a test. No one around to hurt. There you go, intention and reason, all in two short sentences.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I understand your struggle completely.
*A series of capacitive mechanical joints spindle out from my palm and tap at the screen rapidly, navigating the interfaces*

@Legend

*Peeks down at you from the now somewhat near hole in the ceiling, to which we are gradually ascending*
Make no more attempts at touching the controls.

*Analyzes you for a moment, then stands up from my sitting position*
Fine. Buzzkill. Let's do what you need to do, but don't expect me to not hunt you down after.

@Multifarious

Don't resent me fully. You walk out of this with a benefit too, unfortunately.
*Walks toward you*
Don't expect me to spoil it for you, though.

<Snipped quote by Abominations>

*Sighs*
You genuinely have the influence to do it regardless of what I want?
*Turns to face you, watching your expression as I wait for the answer*

@Multifarious

*Answers unwaveringly*
Yes. The only thing is that your cooperation slows me down

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Abominations>

*Sighs*
At least let me rest a tiny bit? You clearly lost, not like you have much to do for a few more eons.

@Multifarious

As much as you make for great company? I'd rather get back to work as soon as possible.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Abominations>

If you drag me back, you are so dead!

@Multifarious

It would do you a well to make threats you can actually follow up on, in the future. May make you a bit more persuasive.

*Winces*
Stop digging around in memories that aren’t yours, jerkbag. You don’t even care for me anyway. You’d ditch me here to die too if you were capable.

@Multifarious

Never claimed that wasn’t the case. Nothing wrong with a little help me, help you, though. Besides, your cooperation may not even be required. I think I may just be able to force you back to reality anyway.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Abominations>

Screw ‘em. They all contributed to it too. Made living a nightmare as a kid and never even wanted me around. Let them burn.

@Multifarious

Hmm.
…
True for most, but not really truth for all of them, is it, Ona?
