Enough to blot out the sky.

@Session

Curtis: Give me five minutes to deploy what real forces and gear we have to the hospital.

Myriad Reality

Trust me, Cap, it ain't a party, as much as I want it to be. Now we're going to have a split-second window before they catch on. You think you can hold off the swarm on a hair trigger?

@Session

Curtis: How big was the swarm you mentioned?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Crew>

Probably most of their leftover magenta stew, a few natural disasters, and a lengthy vacation stay for me.

@Session

*You’re met with a moment of silence before the next response*
Curtis: How about we get you out alive first and then we’ll talk about the afterparty?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Crew>

As of about an hour ago, yeah. It's gonna come at a cost though.

@Session

Curtis: Being?…

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Crew>

It worked better than I actually expected it to. We just need to break the stalemate, right? What if I told you I had a way to shift the long-sleep fire into a problem future us can deal with?

@Session

Curtis: Worldwide?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Crew>

*The planet's natural forces withdraws, leaving my form standing*
Jackpot...
*Picks up the radio and places it to my ear, my clothing clearly scorched now*
Can the good General still hear me?

Alright Lynn, easy now...
*Finishes replacing his spiritual energies with natural energy equivalents, leaving the body in a stabler low-energy state like comatose*

@Session

*The change seems to impact the rate at which his life force burns directly substantially, but doesn't seem to totally stem the tide in absolutely every single regard entirely*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Crew>

*One by one, the burning particles are exchanged with a particle from the planet's natural forces, and the burning components are joined to my own—any consciousness left of the man experiences the world closing in around him*

@Session

*You receive no reaction, likely as the man was already at least largely unconscious*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Crew>

*The ground below me rumbles like a low-magnitude earthquake, and its own natural energies visibly bulge from its surface in a flurry of smeared blues, greens, yellows, and other bold colors, encapsulating the man*

@Session

*Nothing happens in response yet*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Crew>

*Sets him on the ground and extracts his energies to check whether they match the rest of the population*
If you die because of me, die knowing I'm so sorry.
*Tears off my eyepatch, but this time, my entire body dissolves into particles and plunges into the ground below*

@Session

*They match what you would expect from late-stage degradation due to the condition*
