Caused? No. Have to clean this up becuase someone else decided to make a mess of things and got me involved involuntarily and by an arbitrary means? Absolutely.

@souleaterfan320

That sounds suspiciously like cause.

Echo and Delta saw it work with their own eyes.

@souleaterfan320

So you're saying you caused all this?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

No, i mean- ugh. Fine. I'll you everything. This all started back with Kirina. One of her methods of torturing me when she kidnapped me was placing me in a twisted hellscape of a dimension she created herself. It would warp and controt any form of matter in horrendous ways. I barely survived each time. However, because of that, my essence was tied to that dimension permanently. Years later, the amaranthien arrive, and I noticed that after kirina died at some point, that dimension she created had changed, and dissapeared shortly after. During a direct conflict iwth the amaranthine, I found out that only weapons infused with my energy did anything to the amaranthine. Basic weapons did nothing but piss them off. Even unconventional weapons didnt hold them off for long. So.... the superweapons I'm creating are infused iwth my essence. They will be wielded by a select few, Including Echo and Delta under my supervision, in a last ditch effort to eliminate the amaranthine once and for all.

@souleaterfan320

All of this sounds crazy. And crazy isn't going to shut down the project.

... becuase the amaranthine are in a ass backwards way directly tied to me.

@souleaterfan320

Isn't everything? We're still not throwing away our army.

<Snipped quote by System>

.... you're really going against me, huh? After all I've done... you wouldn't even have the position you have without me.... I trusted you to make the right decisions, and until now you've done that fabulously... you want to know why no other method would work against the amaranthine?

@souleaterfan320

*Sighs*
Sure. Tell me why I shouldn't give the EDB the best possible chance.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>
Why are you so against me? I won us the Great War. I stopped the terrorist Rorke before he could do any completely irreversible damage to the EDB, and prevented a coup, nearly at the cost of my own life. are you saying I am not qualified to handle this, as well?

@souleaterfan320

Putting everything in your hands when we can hedge our bets would be stupid. It's throwing away extra chances.

I have explored every possible option. I guarantee you that my option is the only one left with a 99.99991 percent guarantee. I ran the numbers.

@souleaterfan320

Yeah, I have consultants who can make up numbers too. Doesn't change the fact that we're using every resource available.

*Pinches the bridge of my nose*

Vic. I promise you this is not the way. There are better, moral ways. Just let me handle this.

@souleaterfan320

I'm not placing the fate of the world on one last-ditch effort. We're going to explore every option.

You want to know what I am trying to do, here? Prevent you from becoming me. I have sacrificed entire planets, men women and children for the 'greater good' be every single one of those souls eat at my concience every single damn day. I dream of ways I couldve avoided those catastrophic events. I dont want you to have to live with that

@souleaterfan320

I'm not your child. And I can very well decide for myself that I'd rather be alive than worry about a couple of kids who were only created to keep everyone alive. If they were older, would you still care so much? You're clinging to things that don't matter and sacrificing everyone for it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

I'm not the one talking about killing kids, here.

@souleaterfan320

You are. That's exactly what you're doing, along with everyone else.
