The first two suggestions I disagreed with were simply silly and nonsensical. How is
Throw the broken bird and egg at Feringus and exclaim "LOOK WHAT SCIENCE HATH DONE!".
leading to the "personal growth" of AG, anyway? I don't follow your logic.
Retro has made it fairly clear that, as long as it's physically possible to do, silly and nonsensical things will be done with a bit of support. I am striking them down to make sure they don't happen.
As for this one, "What even is this?" was a valid question. Is he suggesting we somehow reprogram our own mind? Doesn't that strike you as a little bit impossible?
In other words, got a plan to make that suggestion a physical reality? As much as AG acts and thinks like a human, he isn't. No amount of hoping and wishing will override his hard-coded programming. I am loathe to even try, lest Feringus simply get
tired of our shenanigans and order us to leap off the walkway to our death.
Feringus has already proven herself in complete control of the situation. I don't want to see your guys' fooling around lead to problems that we shouldn't have to deal with at this point.
And before you accuse me of mindlessly shutting down suggestions, I have already given one my support.
Inform doctor Feringus that you don't approve of her methods. Ask if she would like to hear what you have learned of the oculoids. Also ask her to tell more of these "vibrations" the magic energy stuff reacts to. I want to know if Feringus knows what the music box would do, preferably without reminding her that we have it.
This is a rational course of action. It's mild-mannered and non-confrontational, which is important because, as I've already said, Feringus can end us with one word.
Long story short, Feringus is a human. We can't reprogram ourselves, we don't even know how to. So... yeah. That's pretty much that.
Quite frankly, if Retro isn't prepared to make this story have an epic anticlimax due to a horrible mistake we make right now, I will be extremely disappointed.
