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

@Memory

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

That... does sound like pretty serious chaos.

@Memory

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.*

*Glances nervously at the commander*

@Memory

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...

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

@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?!?!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

You could be risking coup-level consequences.

@Memory

*Tesseract growths glow powerfully at the statement*

Uuuh... what was that?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

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

@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...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

At this point? I don't know if there's any getting away from the dimension being in disarray. You can push it in some direction if you want to, but I think chaos is inevitable.

@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*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

That... could go poorly. Chaos.

@Memory

You're not wrong there... say anything you can do or have any suggestions? Or... eh... Misty maybe? ah, i forgot, she does not talk but stab...

*I chuckle dryly*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

Do any of you have a video we can show him? I think he’s going to want to see this.

@Memory

Soldier: I... uuuh... *He just projects a holoscreen in the air with the entire event without even waiting for Greyson's approval, to which clearly he's not pleased*

*I just grab my chin in shock and look intently at the entire action*

Soldier Boy: So the Tesseract speaks... and it does indeed sound like the voice of god or something i can understand Grey here... but damn...

*Commander Greyson stares daggers at the soldier*

Soldier: I mean, the entire omni-net knows about this event sir! It's not like we could keep it a big secret even if we invested all the funds in it... it just went viral...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

Did they not show you any footage of what happened two weeks ago?

@Memory

I guess they forgot...?

*I look intently at Greyson*

Commander Greyson: Well what did you expect man? you never asked what happened, and then again we don't even know how you wielded such power in the first place!
