It doesn’t have to be this way...
*My face hardens*
Fine. Help the monster.
*An intense magnetic field disrupts both long and short-distance teleportation*

@Webmaster

Believe me.
*Looks sternly back to Data*
I have many questions for him when this is over.
*Looks back to you*
But rage-fueled, evidence-less vigilante “justice” is wrong too. You’re no good even if he also happens to be.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

You don’t understand how much pain he’s caused. How much he’s causing now. If I can’t fix Existence anymore, then I can at least give my mom a second chance at life.

@Webmaster

If you had the intention of dishing out real justice, sure. But this just sounds like excuses to justify a violent vendetta, and your means are beyond questionable. I’ve heard enough. He may be in the wrong in your time, but I see who’s in the wrong right now.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*Shifts my gaze past you*
I’ll do whatever I have to do.

@Webmaster

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

There’s a missed distinction that Singularity is from the future. In the present time, she hasn’t even been born.

@Etcetera

So let me get this straight. You want to execute capital punishment, vigilante-style, on a man for a crime he hasn’t committed yet, and might not even commit now that you’ve travelled back and changed things?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*Balls my fist*
I really don’t want anyone else to get hurt. I’m pleading with you to leave this place.

@Webmaster

*Glances back and forth between you one more time*
I don’t know what he did to your mother, or how, and maybe it isn’t my fight to fight, but I can’t leave yet regardless. Do you plan to kill him?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*Frowns and looks to the side*
They don't know him either.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Anger replaces the concern on my face*
That's not important, Data. Or do you mean to tell me that you don't recognize this place? This is where you left my mother to die in my arms!

@Webmaster

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

I can't say I've been here before.

@Etcetera

*Looks back and forth between you as you bicker*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

He's a monster. You don't realize the creature you're helping.
*Punches a button on a remote control and the machine springs to life, casting the image of a barren, moonlike landscape over that of the lab through several reality projectors surrounding the upper half of the control panel*

@Webmaster

I’ve got more friends that I trust more than some stranger on the topic of his integrity, sorry.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

This is between me and Data. Why are you helping him? You could have left; you still can! I don't want to see anyone else get hurt.

@Webmaster

I saw this as a harmless adventure for a little benefit to science from the start. It evolved into a lot more than that, and I felt obligated to see it through. Still do.

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Is she going to be okay?

@Webmaster

I won’t know until I go back to her and check. In the meantime, what’s your beef with Data?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

She's here for me. But that doesn't answer any real questions.

@Etcetera

Of course. I don’t think she’d come here if she were after me or Zoey.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*A twinge of doubt flashes across my face*
What happened to who?

@Webmaster

Pfuh. You don’t even know?
*Grits my teeth*
I think it’s more important that you explain yourself.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Forget the darkness.
*Flips a switch on the console, initializing a reboot*
The two of you have ruined everything!

@Webmaster

I don’t care. If Zoey doesn’t wake up from whatever happened to her, you’re gonna be sorry.
*Shadow with a flaming effect materializes into a scimitar shape in my hand*
