002nd Plot--on the nature of the "soul" [Video]

[The screen was dark, hazy as always, but that loud, metal-filtered voice rang just as clear as anyone else's.]

A travesty. So, believing us to be the mice they think we are, we are shown second hand, by Nyarlathotep itself, that our worlds are well and truly gone and there is nothing left but this tower.

...

A pity I find myself seeing everyone "convinced" by this merely because beings of magic also exist. Doom, however, does not merely accept a truth unless it has become absolute. I am a man of science as much as I am of magic, and I will not be convinced to despair so easily!

One thing I do find to be true, however, is the nature of one's personal aura, the "soul" if you will. It would explain the resurrection and the fact that my magic hasn't been detecting anything inside of a person's body, yet I can use magic at all still. A complicated process, yet ingenious, really. Few could understand how it works. Even Doom would not find it easy to dismantle the workings of what are apparently Outer Gods within his own lifetime.

I will not tolerate words to convince me otherwise of these recent matters. Especially if you are a young man or lady who believes their own lives to be the most tragic and filled with self righteousness.

Adjourned.

"It is a reconnaissance tool, not a combat tool," she said, nodding. "I can easily see the utility in an item like that. I would not imagine something so small would have great utility in combat without a great deal of careful tooling."

"And yes... there is an advantage to a creation of man, over and above fickle magic. Not that I doubt magic's power, but I trust my hands more."

Exactly the thing an assassin would say, Doom notes.

"I think you will find this creation most serviceable. I myself consider it a paltry creation when placed next to a more in-line combat android.

"Construction on my new chest plate, however, is going well."

"I would imagine the main concern in this is the deplorable lack of high quality parts, considering the sorts of things you've constructed so far," she said frankly. "Your technical understanding is beyond what is in my world, after all."

"I am beyond all things in engineering."

His only reply. Firm. Arrogant. Yet little disbelief might end at the pint sized robot that moved with the lucidity of well maintained tires.

She chuckled thinly and nodded. "I cannot contest the scale of your construction. It is far enough above my own world's that some would call it magic. I would not, but I am a little more familiar with the difference now."
