animus_network | Ω → five [video; open to action]

The villain enters stage left.

[ Wilhelm comments quietly, from what appears to be the third floor library. In front of him is his chessboard from before, but this time, there are only five pieces on the black side; two close together, the other three spread out over the far end of the board. The black pieces contain one of every special piece: a knight, a rook, a queen, a bishop, and the king. On the white side are all pawns, with one king. The ever-rotating Compass was perfectly visible behind him, however, one of its arms was rotating far more wildly than the other. In the background, coming from an off-screen phonograph, was a fairly appropriate musical piece, as Wilhelm carefully moved the black rook behind several of the white pawns, rendering them useless. The white king was now in check, but with the mess of pawns, had very few effective places to move. ]

The heroes are confused. Disoriented, impatient, and irrational. It is only to be expected, given the setting.

[ He doesn't move the white king. Instead, he turns to one of the other white pawns, which had managed to be only a few moves away from the far end of the board, where it could be exchanged for a superior piece. He doesn't move it; rather, he simply stares at it. ]

I wonder who will step up this time?

[ And with that, the feed ends. ]

Without us, humanity would have no means of communication, no protection from the Gnosis, no means of travel or self-defense, and no economy.

Then I assume that makes the CEO of Vector industries a very important man~

That is a fair assessment, yes.

I wonder how it feels for you to be trapped here with the rest of us~

I am content.

...You are? [She sounds genuinely surprised.]

Not because I am here. But because the true threat to my universe is, as well. I have no attachment to this world. Should it be destroyed, I feel it would be a blessing.

The true threat to your universe. Color me curious~

[To think you've not yet introduced her to that incredible being. She's almost offended.]

It is not him specifically that is dangerous. It is his purpose for existing that is.

Who~?

[The slightest him of irritation to her voice.]

Yeshua.

Yeshua~ Is he that powerful, then?

Without Mary, he would be.

Ksha~ You don't make sense. Either he's powerful or he's not.

His power is restrained by hers.

[ A concept that should be very familiar to her. ]

How... inconvenient~

[Very familiar indeed.]

Yeshua's power must be contained.

Or so they used to say about mine.

You would not have caused the extinction of the human race.

Oh but I would gladly have tried~

You would have failed.

Yeshua would cause the entire universe to collapse.

Says your beautiful little compass~?

Would he now? Then maybe he is my soulmate~

You would not have been able to cause the extinction of the entire human race. It is a statistical impossibility.

Mary would disagree with you.

Statistics were never my strong point~

They say a little bit of competition is most healthy~

This may be the exception to the rule.
