Well it's not my world literally i don't speak for trillions of lives... and am i going to be the only one talking here Grey?

Commander Greyson: What do you want me to tell you? that absolutely no? i would be curious though i sure as hell rather deal with this mess, than going through that battle again...

@Shadrack Nor

Too big a risk, then?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

And are you SURE you want to do this to an entire universe? Or does this undo button work both ways just in case?

@Shadrack Nor

It's your world. I can't make that decision for you. At least, not in good conscience.

*Both the Mark and Greyson stare at you like a cat at a stranger's door*

... As if we haven't been going through enough crazy already ... Are we sure here that this plan is going to solve this issue? And what other consequences such an action, if it is even real, is going to trigger?

@Shadrack Nor

My answer to all of those questions is "I have no idea." But it could be either a silver bullet or a disaster.

<Snipped quote by Memory>

huh... now i'm curious... what is this undo button?

@Shadrack Nor

He gave me some kind of rewind ability. I may be able to go back before this war started and give us another chance to change what we did.

Soldier Boy: However venial this may sound; this sounds like my kinda party! But seriously, kid, don't sweat it. You seriously look like a God, no joke, so I may be relying on your help here!

*I clap a reassuring hand on your shoulder.*

Listen, the people need hope, not fear. They need to know we're out there, doing our damn best to protect them. That's where you come in, Prism. You seem to have been upgraded and have some new skills; And the courage, and the shiny new clothes to make a difference.

*I wink, then turn to Commander Greyson.*

So, Grey, what's the plan? We ready to take on some religious fanatics and show 'em the error of their ways?

Commander Greyson: *Nods slowly, his gaze steady.* You are, as usual, making this sound too damn simple for our situation Ben. But we do have a few options on the table. However most of this has to deal with how the social media agents spread information, if you have any ideas i'm all ears...

*He turns to the soldier.*

Mark, prepare a briefing for Prism. We'll discuss potential missions and let him choose the path he feels best suited for. And do consider Misty here... we could use his friends to say the least...

*Mark snaps to attention, salutes, and departs for the desk to begin planning.*

@Shadrack Nor

Well... I do think there’s one alternative. He seemed to give me some sort of “undo button” during my visit.

Commander Greyson: *clears his throat, a nervous tic twitching in his eye.* Well, Prism, it's... complicated. The Tesseract, is a bit of a mystery, even to us. We've been studying it, trying to understand its origins and capabilities, but it's... elusive. It seems to defy our conventional understanding of science and technology.

*He pauses, glancing at Soldier Boy*

Commander Greyson: Religious fervor has already ignited, with some hailing you as a prophet or a god, while others would seriously doubt your loyalty to the Terran Dominion, the event has already sparked a crisis of trust in the Terran Dominion's authority and its ability to protect its citizens from the unknown...

@Shadrack Nor

That... does sound like pretty serious chaos.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Dude, just tell me what the tesseract guy told you at this point... I'm all ears! also I'm seriously seeing your answers as doom and gloom.

If anything, our strategies have not caused such scenarios thus far, and besides me only being like 7 months in, right now, all i can tell, is people were cool with the explanations we gave thus far...

*Commander Greyson coughs falsely*

Right Grey?!?!

@Shadrack Nor

*Glances nervously at the commander*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

*Tesseract growths glow powerfully at the statement*

Uuuh... what was that?

@Shadrack Nor

I don’t know if I want to know at this point.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Tis not the first time this has happened, and besides, the people never fully trust the government and military anyway, never have and never will, which i think is healthy in my honest opinion...

@Shadrack Nor

You could be risking coup-level consequences.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Soldier Boy: Or... Or... hear me out! We do the old military trick and just come out and say this was a secret technology that the military has been working on and now saw an opportunity to use it

Soldier: I mean... that could work, in fact it doesn't even sound like a total lie with all the tech we do have at our disposl...

*Commander Greyson scratches his chin while looking between the four of us*

@Shadrack Nor

That's an option, but it could make them leery of the military.
