the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (14)

monday (41) survivors You stand with your friends, your family, and your enemies, shoulder to shoulder. The deceased and the living are the same, now, and you've been reunited with the person trapped on the opposite ship. You have four choices. Four options laid before you - five, if you're smart about it. You have the option of staying on the Nuwa, a ship pre-programmed to land somewhere safe, soon, and then it's your's for the taking. You have the option of entering the Nuwa's virtual reality and crafting your own perfect world, but knowing it was a perfect world created by your own hand. Your third option is one of the Cradles, a machine created to bring you bliss, and permit you the dream you've always wanted, without the knowledge it's a virtual reality. Your fourth option lays in front of you, on the bridge of the Nuwa, and it's a tear in the fabric of reality, but you can see your home waiting for you. It looks idyllic, perfect, just the way you'd want it to be. Your fifth option lies in another tear - the tear of a friend. Perhaps their heart is kind enough to take in a stray. The choice is your's to make, and whatever you choose, know that, for the first time in fourteen weeks, it's your choice. taken list profiles private conversations setting rulebook ENTER COMMAND_

[He's not mad. In a way, he's also frustrated but that just comes from stress and his own issues, so when Yuno admits she's frustrated, when Yuno actually listens to him...she'll find that he looks at her for a moment before bending and plopping himself on the ground to sit. He's staring up at her, curious if she can actually sit with how her burns are but also doing this mostly in good faith to show he's at least willing to try.]

We've got time, I think. Unless you've gotta jump for Paris or I have to jump for Henrietta. We've got time. [There's a pause. Yeah. They have time for now, he thinks.] ...a while ago, Adam and I spoke with the Nuwa AI. Sunny. Dr. Lin. She goes by a couple of names. [She doesn't go by Sunny...] She spoke with us before she spoke with all of us as a group. She told Adam and I that if we found and executed an alien, we'd be able to save ourselves and also the Nuwa. That's a lot of people's lives that were in our hands and I...let myself get carried away. I thought that by doing what I was doing I was on everyone's side because exorcising an alien would be saving the person. It was the casualties I didn't think about, and maybe in a way it's because I've never thought of casualties. Demigods learn how to fight from a really young age, and when I joined forces with the Titan Lord, a lot of causalities died due to my actions. And I didn't care.

I care a lot more now. I cared about getting the alien, you're right. But I had hopes that weren't entirely realistic, I guess. Should've known not to trust an all-powerful being. Sunny told us not to tell anyone...maybe that's what I would have changed. [Even that's not true. He's not sure what he would have done differently.] Do you really think I would have attacked someone without genuine proof? Or you mean verbal attacking?
