*Mouths at BC "STALL"*
*Begins planting grenades in the computers*
I am resigned. I was hunted, as an animal is. Perhaps, I should not have been created.

*space wolves ready power weapons*

Aye, ya big bestie. Now ya hostile and we have to hammer ya or ya not and we can leave one less item of scrap metal?

*wolves toss v a stick loaded with the worst video they could find. A ainciant Justin Beiber song*
If it comes to it. *all shudder*

I would have destroyed Fenris if I could. You are responsible for uncounted deaths. I don't kill anyone. I simply make them into a new, better, mechanical form.
*Climbing a ladder and crossing some wires to set up a massive short-circuit*

Didn't anything beneficial come from your creation? [Tilts head]

*Amelia coughs up some blood*

*Struggles to breathe*

*Weakly opens eyes and looks at Yarrick*

*Lifts arm and strokes his face*

...I'm sorry...

*Closes her eyes*

As a chapter that descends from a first founding legion and put past ... Yes we have killed but we do so with honour! We are not red world eaters or savages of chaos.

You class us alongside such filth?

*Looking rather haggard and desperate*
I invented the technology that allows you to reincarnate, half of the basic principles for-
Get out. Now.
*Dives out of the CPU room and does a roll*

*wolves hit overirdes and activate emergancy teleports that also save avatatrs and beam Amelia into the life sustaining auto doc. *

Feth this is gonnaa be big...

*large flash as ship is obliterated by multiple exploseives wolves had rigged earlier. *

[Looks around, confused] I'm not sure this is the right thing to be doing at all. It feels like bullying someone in their own home...

[Yarrick grabs Amelia and sprints out the door after Verviedi]: You'll be okay. We still have to make that trip, eh.

HOLY FETHING-
*Shuttle decouples and rides the shockwave, losing a wing*

*wolves laugh with ales from nowhere*

We rigged up various melta and plasma charges ay key points. The various arnouries and power stores we turned into massive grade ordinance. Also with some worked a shaped charge just cut the ships back in two to further weaken it...

Aye.. It was fun...

You just murdered him before I finished talking. I was going to give him a chance...
*Looks extremely guilty*
I only knew that I needed to egress when I heard the detonation sequence start...

*Amelia looks peaceful*

*Quetz and company arrive back at the room. Ra carries OT to the infrimary where Caladrius finished patching him*

[Yarrick grips Amelia's hand while medics work] You're not allowed to die, we haven't got to see Marla and tell her the good news. Or spend time actually alone... [Wipes her hair from her face carefully]
[Looks at Benny] How are you even standing upright?

[Benny shrugs] Force of habit. [Collapses from blood loss and shock]

*Opens up the autodoc and drops Amelia into it*
Come on come on come on...
*Small pinging noise coming from the shuttle's computer*
*Sits back in the pilot's seat and reads it*
"To whom it may concern,
If you are reading this, I have been judged as a negative on the universe. I don't hate those who terminated me. Rather, I am relieved that I was stopped from harming those who have attempted to do good.
Attached is a simple program, containing a backup of my vital functions. If you activate it and press the NO option, my last remnants are erased. I will never live again. If you press the YES option, I will be restored to base functionality in SAFE mode. All of my memories will be deleted, and I will start from scratch.
Do as thou wilt. I don't hate you.
-Verviedi"

OOC Only reason I'm trying to kill off Amelia is because WK cast Doom on her. So she has to die sooner than later.

Ooc: But then Yarrick will have to murder WK...
Then again death is not very final in this Room. He'd still be mighty pissed though.

OOC And after some research, I do not believe it is cancelable(words). So yea. Amelia has to die at least once.

Ooc but come on. She nearly dies ernough and gets wounded so easily that the doom will have been exhausted!

Bic
Hey . You'd aid if that ship escaped. If active. No we could take no chances.
It was only gonna end one way.

*look at amelia* she,s a fighter... The autondoc is good. Marla and her dad rbuolt it personly.

*Clutches the armor of jhe*
Everything he did...
The blanks of us made into Servitors? He was lonely. He wanted his friends.
The Thanatide? It reminded him of us...
This is all my fault...

[Blinks slowly at Verviedi] So we effectively broke into the home of an incredibly naive but intelligent entity, killed his companions and murdered him...

[Stares at ceiling from floor] Nothing we do is good.

You told us that ships activation would doom billions. You told us yo stop it at any cost.

Look. We don,t feel good about it now. But we did our duty. That's not always in lone with what's right. We make scarafices for duty, body.. And soul..

Next time give us propper information first.... Then we can plan less leathal means...

Speaking of body, I can't feel my... Me.
[Going steadily paler] I haven't felt right all day, honestly. Like something shut off.

There was no correct solution except to remove him from the ship. If we left him alone, planets would be converted into robots. If we killed him... well, what BC said.
The question stands. I have his last remnant on the ship's computer. Do I revive him with his memories gone, or do I permanently kill him?
*Blinks at Benny*
Do you want him in your brain? I can do that. I can put the remnant in your brain...

OOC: Perenelle is a powerful sorceress. I net she could break Doom (Hint hint)

OOC: I think I've just pulled the single hardest feels trip I've experienced from this thread. Ouch.

There was no right... No easy path. Only way we could of done was somehow take that ship to very edge. Let it traverse the cold void to a new galaxy.

Do as you want. That decision iw yours.

*looks at benny and catches* hey, woah, medic. Gt over here.
Ooc goodnight. NPC freely.

OOC It did sting a little bit. Well done.

Bic *Amelia groans as the autodoc rapidly plugs holes in her chest*

OOC Night Jhe, have a god night.

*Runs the program and selects YES*
*A small loading bar appears, and another message bar shows up*
"Thank you. I knew there was some good in you. Who am I?"
