"SEED was a being beyond the understanding of man. She was all-knowing, kind, and strong. She blessed this world, and the people fortunate enough to live here, and granted them a path into Paradise. Do not speak ill of our God, who sacrificed herself for our survival, but instead marvel at her love and wisdom." You pronounce, serenely, staring into Eric's eyes. He deflates a little, believing you-- but you don't let up. Instead, you straighten up, letting your willpower lash out.

[17+5] vs [7+1] Isela looks pale and Eric-- Eric looks like you just punched him in the face. He takes a step back.

[18 vs 1] "Do you know better than a God, Eric?" You take a step forward, unfurling your wings. Your voice is soft, but you're sure its the only thing Eric can hear as he sags. "I am the flame of Old Sol. I lived ten lives -- and in all of them, I've bled enough to make your suffering seem as nothing. Do not challenge my divine will, Eric. Kneel."

His legs give out from under him -- and you step closer, smiling, reveling in your own strength. "...And Eric? If you ever lay a hand on me again, in hostility, I will grind every bone in your arm to dust."

Eric can only nod -- and you give him a gentle pat on the face. You contain your will, your wings, staring down at the man. Isela looks concerned -- surprised, but not angry, not fearful. Curious.

"I-I'm sorry. Sorry, Mother Pheonix. I...I forgot my place. I didn't understand--" Eric hangs his head, "Please forgive me."

"I forgive you child. We all make mistakes, but no one is beyond redemption. Isela, I will leave you some time to consider what I said and how that should affect our strategy against the plague, but for now, what is your assessment of the situation at Steelworks Number Nine?"

[Naturegirl1999]

Didn’t we ask her for the assessment of Steelworks 9 already? Or was that something else?

[ZBridges]

She mentioned that we were fighting insurrectionists in steelworks eight and nine, but I wanted a more detailed explanation of what is happening there and how strong our enemies are. I'd also like to put this encounter back on track after that digression.

[Naturegirl1999]

Oh, ok

"Um--Um yeah, right -- I don't know." Isela replies, bluntly after her recovery. "I only know there's conflict down there. Something about Outlanders seizing the city from Mother Nicole? It's pretty brutal urban combat, but William's Warmachines are down there handling it."

[ZBridges]

"Would you recommend that I participate in that, or would I be most useful elsewhere?"

[19_EgarAlnis]

"I don't know. Like I said, Emma and William aren't saying much about it." Isela shrugs a shoulder. "Can't quite advise on a situation I have no control over."

[ZBridges]

"Odd. You should definitely be kept in the loop, as this is your job. I'll talk to William and Emma about it. For now, you are both dismissed. Thank you for your duty."

Take a moment to assess our injuries. Are we in fighting shape? If not, is it something that healing factor could fix?

[Eschar]

"I don't know. Like I said, Emma and William aren't saying much about it." Isela shrugs a shoulder. "Can't quite advise on a situation I have no control over."

Isn't that what advisors are for? Except us, naturally.

[ZBridges]

Perhaps she means that she doesn't have enough information? She could also be attempting to increase her personal power.

[The Canadian kitten]

Oh geez, a lot has changed. She may try to increase personal power, but I don't think she's that kind of person. Maybe she's trying to get us to trust her and slowly sabotage us? Couldn't we sense things with our will like lying? We can use that if we suspect something is up.

[Superdorf]

Divinity by agony. Clever. Very fitting.

I've had my think. Feeling better about things. The weather's been nice.

I'm... going to stay out-of-thread for a week or two. Relax a bit-- see what happens-- maybe start poking my nose in again, once I've regained my bearings. There ought to be a middle ground between "unhealthy obsession" and "total abandonment", yes?

I was a bit of a mess last night. Wasn't thinking too straight. Hopefully (heh) I didn't come off as too much of a nut.
But I'm sorry to have thrown that out there so sudden, and with such... finality. I probably should've said something days ago.

I agree with the assessing of injuries, but Emma and William might not know much either. To my knowledge, we, Emma, nor William can read thoughts. “Thank you. I will go there soon and assist where needed. You are dismissed for now.”
