Ω → six [video; open to action]

[oforder]

[ There's no chess motif in this video. No fancy metaphors, no elaborate symbolism. Just Wilhelm staring into the Compass, as if in a trance. It seems almost as if the terminal nearest to his makeshift office turned on without him realizing it, until he begins speaking. ]

It's almost time.

[ How long was it for him? Years? Centuries? A millennium? It doesn't matter. To someone who is possibly billions of years old and existed in previous cycles of his own universe, it might as well have been a week. Being that old, and being a cosmic entity, gives him a very odd perception of time compared to humans. He's completely indifferent to this event, even though it did affect on him. ]

I know you can see what I refer to, Yeshua. And I know that you can feel it as well.

[ That affect, of course... was him sensing Animus beginning to awaken. Though whether it actually was, or if it was just a sensation he's feeling due to the event itself, remains to be seen. ]

I was unaware that is possible in this world, but it was a hypothesis I was willing to test. Perhaps now, Tohko, Shion, Allen, and 'Wretched Egg,' your question can be answered.

[ He pauses slightly when he says 'Wretched Egg.' He's still unsure why she insists on being called that, but c'est la vie. ]

Do you think she'll awaken properly, even without T-elos?

[oforder]

She did so in my own universe. She rejected T-elos's body.

[ There was a bit more to it than that, but that's not anything Allen needs to know about. ]

However, Mary rejoining with T-elos was the final prerequisite to the Recurrence of my timeline being assured.

[temptestament]

So what are you going to do if she does awaken fully?

*He asks the question in a completely calm tone, maybe a hint of curiosity the only indicator that he has any personal concern. But then, he has become awfully professional in the more recent centuries.*

[oforder]

When she is awake, I will not need to do anything but wait.

[temptestament]

I should know better than to ask specific questions like that by now...what are you expecting to happen?

[oforder]

You should not need to ask.

[temptestament]

Is there really anything you can do without the Vessels and the rest of Zarathustra?

[oforder]

Do you truly believe me so powerless, Allen?

[temptestament]

I believe the Administrators will be able to shut down anything that relies too much on what we are.

[oforder]

But they did not shut it down. You are insinuating that they tampered with it. This would mean altering the entire collective subconscious itself.
