Sooooo.

Here's a bit of an awkward question:

How many of you guys have someone you don't exactly like holed up in one of those pods? And I don't just mean like "wow that guy's a dick" I'm talking more along the lines of "this guy is a GIANT dick and he will definitely try to kill us [ read: him ] when he wakes up."

Is there any way to...I don't know, pull the plug out of the pods? or something? Do you think we'd get in trouble for that?

[ A little casual accidentally-on-purpose murder never hurt anyone right? Like especially when it's for the greater good, which this totally is. ]

All right, so it took the resources and heroes of an entire planet to take him out; if he's that resilient, what makes you think you can actually kill him in a pod? What if your attempt at something which worked for someone else, is not enough to take him out, and instead wakes him up?

Have you tried talking to the Orbiters? If they were able to get him in, they may be your best bet to keep him in there. If what they say is true than it would be in their best interest as well to keep him contained so that he could not undo all of their work.

[rhygret]

Because he's asleep...? That's the best time to do it right? It's not like he'll just snap awake and try to strangle me or anything if he's inside the chamber still.

[ Probably. ]

It sounds from what other people are saying like you have to wait until they wake up or they knock you out and remove you from the area.

[valcurie]

How do you know that, for sure? Would you be willing to take responsibility for the consequences of accidentally waking him up?

But have you talked to them? Have you made an effort of your own?

[rhygret]

I'm not telepathic so...no? These guys don't exactly have inboxes I can send a message to.

[valcurie]

It seems they are focussed on other matters, then. Like keeping everyone, including anyone you do care for, safe.

I think you should reconsider your priorities.

[rhygret]

Yeah yeah. Looks like they don't care as much once they wake up sooooo... Looks like I'm going to deal with that.

Super-awesome.

[valcurie]

Just you, is it?

[rhygret]

Something like that yeah.

[ He's not really sure what he'd call the mysterious "Angie" who seems to know almost as much about Jack as he does. ]

[valcurie]

You are aware that you're not the only one awake, correct?

And not the only one who has a stake in this place's future not being destroyed by someone who would ruin it for whatever agenda he may have?

[rhygret]

Well then more people should be on board with getting rid of this guy right? I mean some are, but there's a lot of people who come from some really strange worlds out there.

[valcurie]

I think there are those here among us who could easily subdue this man in the event that he did wake up.

( She's seen some of the displays of her power herself. Like. Levels beyond, 'oh hey this guy can punch down skyscraper with his fist.' )

[rhygret]

Okay but there's a difference between "subdued" and "dead and gone for good." You know that right? One is a loooot more permanent.

[valcurie]

Of course. The former is one of the stages that lead to the latter.

[rhygret]

They usually happen at the same time where I'm from.

[valcurie]

( so this is about justice, then? )

You aren't in your home any longer.

None of us are.

[rhygret]

[ Ohhh he wishes, but his world doesn't exactly have a firm grasp on the meaning of "justice" anymore. That tends to happen when government is overthrown by big business. ]

Okay, point. But I'm still proooobably right about getting rid of this guy. Just saying.

[valcurie]

( the same way her world is going, she's recently thought. overwatch was a bust but the privatisation of security is scary. )

You are welcome to your opinion and speculation. I am not concerned with them, but rather with what is practical.

I will tell you this. If he actually moves to hurt as many people as you say, I will be one of the first to move against him, providing aid to those who would do what is necessary to save people.

[rhygret]

That's actually...good to know. Huh. Thanks?

[valcurie]

Don't thank me. Doing the right thing and helping people--that is its own reward.

I never said he wouldn't die.

[rhygret]

Right. yes. Got it.
