Turn 22"El Guante Ilimitado ... ¿Cuántas vidas y nacionalidades he pasado por buscarte? ¿Cuánto he perdido? No importa, uno menos, quedan cinco."
Juainos shifts the Unlimited Glove into his pocket, but not before inserting something in the holes.
Juainos delves deeper into the Moloko, but not before reporting to the TARDIS that he found a weird glove but threw it someplace dark and weird instead of using it for balancing or some other evil non-Juainos stuff.
1You head deeper into the Moloko, finding youself roughly in the vicinity of the computer core. As you explore, you hear a snap as you carelessly step on a skeletal arm. Moments later, you hear the sound of growls and tentacles brushing against walls as a pack of vacuum vermin approach from nearby.
"..."
Carefully navigate the hallway to the computer core. If the vacuum vermin try to fuck with me, then... um... mime asserting dominance?
4You start painstakingly sneaking down the hallway. It looks increasingly impossible to get past all the vacuum vermin, but then a snap sounds from elsewhere in the ship and the vermin clear out in search of prey. You quickly take the opportunity and make it to the computer core. It's a decently large chamber, filled with a maze of servers.
Juainos? A hostile? No way. I’m sure this is just a glitch that will sort itself out eventually, but since I’m sure my friends are in danger from something...
Set the Tardis to fire weapons at hostiles with extreme prejudice. After all, I’m sure ot will figure out Thainos Juainos isn’t a hostile eventually
(No roll)You attempt to target all the TARDIS's weapons at
Thainos any hostiles. The screen beeps and displays a "404 Weapons not found" error, before suggesting that you requisition a battle TARDIS instead.
Look busy, contemplate what I’m doing here.
2You fail to look busy as you sit around contemplating what you're doing here. As far as you can recall, your house ran out of milk, so a large mess occurred until you got some more. Then you didn't have a house, so you went to the Middle Ages and stole milk, messing up that society instead. Then you lived in the distant past for a while, before taking a job as a janitor on a spaceship after working up the nerve to check if the world survived the Middle Ages conflict. Of course, then Thainos destroyed the world anyway, so now you're ferrying Angelo/Diablo, his friends, and the endlessly helpful and trustworthy Juainos around as they look for a means of fixing all the damage.
If you were looking for something to do while you wait, you could always go back and save Lincoln again. You haven't had the power of his hat ever since you reset that timeline, resulting in history returning to its original state.
"No god damn it, no, they destroyed them those government bastards they ruined my plans... at least they're all dead."
Look around and see if I can access any other long range ballistic or chemical weapons.
3You decide to keep looking around DC. Surely the Government wouldn't get rid of all its WMDs. Your persistence is rewarded. Eventually searching a basement in the Pentagon, you locate a terminal connected to an ion cannon satellite still floating above the remains of the Earth. However, as soon as you hop into the command chair to start picking targets, you trigger an alarm. A pair of turrets pop out of the ceiling and the door seals behind you.
Point at the Leader of the Okapis and call upon my lord T'zzz to cast a spell in the most foulest, dark and eldritch of all Languages: English.
"Cleansing Fireball"
6-1 vs 3Chimera vs Okapi:2-1 vs 4Okapis vs Dairy Queen forces:5-1 vs 1Encouraged by the sight of a savage unicorn devouring okapi forces, you turn to Yoink and cast your spell. A Cleansing Fireball blasts Yoink out of the saddle, sending him rolling off into the battlefield. As he recovers, his okapi mutant screams in rage and lunges at your chimera. The two beasts clash, but the okapi maintains the upper hand. Your chimera breathes fire and lunges out with its claws, but the okapi snaps out a hoof and fractures a forelimb. With its mobility broken and the snake head unable to defend it, the chimera is left unable to defend itself. You get away from your mount just in time before Yoink's okapi leaps out and slays the chimera.
Elsewhere, the Dairy Queen's forces are unable to shake the okapis. Despite the growing pile of bodies around the Unicorn, the okapi partisans elsewhere are able to regroup Yoink's forces and press the attack.
March onto Genricville.
4+1Your army has swelled to greater numbers than before, while the patchwork creatures are still dealing with their losses from the previous conflict. It starts out even, but slowly, surely, the exponential spread of your virus turns things into a rout. One by one, the monsters are added into your Network. You lost most of your human and chupacabra villagers in the opening stages of the battle, but the monsters more than make up the difference. Genericville is yours. The only remaining resistance is centered on Florence Memorial library. The monsters there fight so savagely that even your newly expanded force is unable to penetrate the structure.
One more thing. As the monsters become part of your mind, a few of them quickly disassemble themselves and use their unique biology to reassemble certain recently acquired pieces. Your original body is put back together and returned to the Network.
Just be on guard while Gunthar contemplates himself while looking in a mirror.
Pull out my flare gun and shoot at the possible intruders, should they appear.
4Someone destroyed most milk, the resulting wars ended up destroying many planets. I hope to use the Infinity Milks to create new planets, new life to fill them, to add to the universe. I wondered if blending your plane to the material one would create new things. When I read your book, I realize I agree with some parts, but not others. I agree that the wars brought Chaos, and will sometimes leads to chaos, but will doesn’t always lead to chaos, sometimes will can lead to order too. Maybe the infinity milks can help with removing chaos without removing will. I guess I’m not completely sure what I want, I know I want my companions to be alive. I want to help people, when the helping doesn’t harm anyone. I also know that sometimes harm is unavoidable. We’re looking for milk now. When we find it, I think it will be shared among us, and I’ll give some to you, if you want it. What are you looking for in this plane?
Follow Gunthar, if needed, hold breath

...
"...go on, friends. Gunthar shall-- I shall be along-- shortly."
Gunthar smiles a feeble smile. "Shortly. Yes."
And slowly, hesitantly, Gunthar lowers himself into the pool's crystal depths.
1Gunthar, what are you doing?
Joshua watches closely as Gunthar considers the pool and Rana speaks with her host.

Will does not always lead to chaos, but the Acceptable will is our will. Other wills are extraneous. Why would you wish to add to the universe? It has been in stasis. It was already perfect.
...What do you mean by "our plane", "what are you looking for?", and "our book?" We have never controlled a plane. We have always been here. We have had no reason to write a book. What have you seen?"Gunthar makes a decision.
"...go on, friends. Gunthar shall-- I shall be along-- shortly."Gunthar smiles a feeble smile.
"Shortly. Yes."Gunthar, what are you doing?He prepares to enter the pool, but then is interrupted by the sound of footsteps. A trio of squid-headed centaur-crabs enter the chamber and stop upon seeing the party.
"There. These three are the source of the disruption in the eternal stasis of the Void. Perhaps their deaths can mitigate the damage, before things become too Unnacceptable."With that, the creatures rush forward to attack you. Rana's host, as an accessory to the enemy, is offered no mercy and asks none. However, Joshua's flaregun lights up the cave with a brilliant light and catches one of the creatures in the eye. It stumbles and rolls around on the floor, screeching and attempting to crush out the flame.
