Hmmm....

@Source

This really is a bizarre sight.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

Agreed. We should care for the wounded.

@Source

Some of us have more work cut out for us than others.
*Slices open a rift with my hand*
I'll be in touch.

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

As long as we all agree that, at all costs, Nemid must not return, we can negotiate the steps in between.

@Source

As long as it can be agreed to be on the table, I believe we can all get to more pressing matters. Lots of destruction. Lots of casualties, and lots more exhausted.

This party in particular is not particularly reputable, I'm not sure if you know.

@Galaxy Raider

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

I believe we can make arrangements that mutually benefit all parties, in that case.

@Source

The world isn't so fortunate to be so black and white as that, Sven. Truth be told, I have minimal interest in the power itself for personal reasons. I just feel it'd be such a waste- And, again, more dangerous to seal it permanently or attempt to destroy it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

Priority number one must be preventing Nemid from resurrecting. Priority number two must be removing Nemid as an entity. At that point, it becomes a sophisticated battery.

@Source

Coming to an agreement was never even a stretch, then. I agree wholly, even down to the point that the first course of action should be its study. It's not in any of our interests for today's events to have a sequel.

*Holds up my hand*
Perhaps we could come to an agreement.

@Source

And I was afraid I would be speaking to zero open minds. Glad to be proven wrong.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

An object of unparalleled danger that should be destroyed.

@Source

Dangerous because of the power it contains. An artifact with this much raw power has never existed- Could never exist before. He brought all this power from outside Existence into Existence, and on top of that absorbed a hefty chunk of Existence itself while he was here, which does not seem to have returned to us... I would argue that figuring out how to use it would be the least dangerous thing to do with it of all.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

I feel the same way. There's no way... well, there's no way that would be true eternity.

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

What's that?

@Legend

*Places my large mechanical hands around the sphere, studying it*
It hasn't existed long, so I don't blame you for not thinking about it. Have you thought about what it is that we have? This object right here, beyond being just a vessel for some great adversary.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

This one is special. A stronger barrier may have kept the crystal contained until my end, but this one will allow us to study it.

@Legend

<Snipped quote by Legend>

That was the path I was thinking of suggesting. Let's not seal it away. Let's make sure capable hands can take all this "time" that could be needed to study it and figure out how to truly destroy it.
*Glares into it*
While I believe that he believed everything he said about death, I don't buy it. I don't believe he is exempted from an end.

@Galaxy Raider

I have another idea entirely.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Purple girl, you're gonna be our sideliner. Don't do anything super involved unless absolutely necessary.

@Revolutionary

And I would recommend staying out of sight altogether, if what I heard is true and she is containing Artahe.
