*Raises an eyebrow, then puts a finger to my ear for a moment and looks at the blood, frustrated*
I don't know what you said, but you cannot jump back into that.

@GalaxyRaider

*I point at you and sign the words "DON'T TRY. SHE WON'T STOP."*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Tank O The Lake>

*Is totally oblivious to your speech*

@GalaxyRaider

And don't try to stop her, Isaac. I know how humanlikes work, and she isn't going to take this back. Barring stuffing her in a bag and covering her in bubble wrap (which I admit would be kind of fun), there isn't anything you can do.

...
*Continues moving forward*

@Webmaster

*The android's voice suddenly becomes light-hearted and kind.*

Whatever you do, you have my full support.

*You suspect that this is a genuine statement.*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Tank O The Lake>

*Looks at you blankly for a moment and then back to Nemid*
I'll do what I have to.

@Webmaster

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*Takes my hands off my ears, showing blood*
WHAT?

@GalaxyRaider

Oh, knowing what's about to happen, that either outcome will bring immeasurable suffering and that will be something NO ONE CAN TAKE BACK!

*I burst into a fit of hysterical laughter. When I'm finished, I sigh contently and turn to face the group.*

Isn't it just intoxicating?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Tank O The Lake>

I will.

@Webmaster

*I laugh once more. It dawns on you that he was anticipating either outcome, reading you like a book and waiting anxiously for your response.*

Do whatever you want, dearie.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Tank O The Lake>

I'm giving everything to this. You don't understand. I have to.

@Webmaster

Well then, if you have to, then do it.

*It is difficult to understate the simultaneous venom and zeal in his voice. It is like he is both egging you on and calling you a coward for considering the option.*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Tank O The Lake>

It won't be for nothing. I'm more useful this way.

@Webmaster

*The android speaks in a cold, angry tone.*

As long as you are useful to me, I will not let you die. Don't forget that.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

*Slides, prone, a few more feet, then lets out a bloodcurdling screech with such intensity and volume that it overloads the senses of everyone around*

@Melodious

*The android appears unfazed.*

Noise. That was what you conjured. I mean, I wasn't going to tell you that my Insectoids hunt by sound, but...

*A small swarm of insect-like creatures, each one the size of a small car, turn around and fly towards Nemid's location.*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*Shakes my head*
If you lose me... it might hurt morale. That's it.

@Webmaster

*A replacement android drops from the sky and shakes its head.*

Negatory, eight-bit. I didn't burn out an expensive android saving you for nothing.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Tank O The Lake>

<Snipped quote by Source>

*Is gripping the crystal in Nemid's head as the mist continues to clear further, seemingly in some sort of struggle with him*

@Heroic

*The android collapses to its knees.*

Oh, deeeeeaaaaarrrrrr...

*Then, the machine falls backwards, disintegrating into dust.*
