*Alarmed*
Don't!
*Looks back at the swirling mass of plasma*
Good enough...
*Plasma collects into the center and is accelerated toward the two of you at blinding speeds*
Gauss' Plasma Gun!

@Webmaster

*Looks over my shoulder at you and raises my eyebrows in surprise as I move to shoulder-tackle Data out of its range getting my lower half caught in the blast*

If you can blow it up now, do it—I'll offer my help as well. But don't waste energy you may need.

@Etcetera

I’m not known as “The Prodigy of the Ilouro” for nothing.
*Turns toward the star and doubles down on the beam, resulting in it growing exponentially in size as the explosive power digs deep into the dense surface of the star and into its core*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

We can leave the lab behind more easily than fighting off a star. But we have to shut down the field to do that.

@Etcetera

I can survive the star, and I don’t care about the lab...

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*Space warps around me and shifts my position beyond the restraints, allowing me to reach the spinning disc of metal high above the ground*

@Webmaster

I want her. She’s not dying, and she’s not getting away either.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*Places my hand on your shoulder*
Ignore the neutron star for now. We have time.

@Etcetera

Time for what? We can’t waste time now, we need to get things under control.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Give me the strength to save you!
*Rips magnetic fields from the magnetar approaching the planet and heavily distorts the space that surrounds us*

@Webmaster

*Grits my teeth and holds out both hands, firing a massive beam of cyan at it to try and force it back*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*The magnetic field is still strong enough to resist teleportation attempts*
Mom... Grandma...
*The light continues to get brighter*

@Webmaster

*Finishes healing you, then turns toward the light and flies upward toward it*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*Looks up toward the light*
Mag...

@Webmaster

Even if I have to have you brought back.
*Checks to see if teleportation is still disrupted*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*My chest heaves in search of oxygen*
There's nothing else I can do for the future... This is my Deus Ex.

@Webmaster

You don’t die here. I need you for when I get answers from Data.
*Restrains you in a clear band like before, but shares more of the pink healing energy to accelerate regeneration*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

I just... wish... you'd leave...

@Webmaster

I want to, but I can't in good conscience.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Nnn...
*Lifts up slowly, more from the magnetic field pushing me than my own strength*
Please... work...
*Electricity arcs between my fingers and I place my hand on my chest, the charge stimulating my muscles enough to continue to lift my weight*
...
*A bright light becomes visible in the distance sky*

@Webmaster

*Grabs you by your shoulders when I stop and shakes you*
Stop this! Please! Fighting to the death here is not worth it!
*Places a hand over the stab wound on your shoulder and shares some pink healing energy to remedy it*
Despite all of this, I want to help you, not kill you.
