So yeah, that's why we need a meeting. To actually get straight what it is that everybody wants and what their common goals are.
A meeting? We need group therapy! And more alcohol.

I am assuming TW hasn't done anything to lose my sympathy while I was gone so I'm going to say if he noms her I would find some way to make him die slowly. Disregard that if she's done something to lose my sympathy.
If we can kill or even torture mercer, then we will not need her. Have you played prototype?
I'm sorry I happen to like TW more than a a virus. (who really isn't a bad guy all things considered.)

Point out to TW, calmly, that an alcoholic, narcissistic, bipolar, reality-warping machine part is no less an unnatural monster than we are, and that it's to our mutual benefit as monsters to stick together, but if it comes down to a separation, she needs us more than we need her - she has no friends nor allies, and no ability to gain them.  Tell her that from a strategic standpoint, her unique abilities and insights make her an asset, but her attitude and behaviour make her a big liability -- and from a personal standpoint, make it very hard to like her or consider her a friend.

Remind her that there are really only three ways things can work out for her.
  • She plays nice, sticks with us, and gets to have a hand in building (and shaping) the next configuration of the world as we know it.
  • She leaves, drinks way too much with nobody to keep her in check, and either (a) falls into a stupor and is recaptured, or (b) goes on a destructive drunken rampage until Small Horse and/or the military bring out the really big guns and obliterate her bony ass, magic or not.
  • She fights us.  If we win, we get a spare banshee in case the original is destroyed.  If she wins, see Option 2.
It's her life and her choice.  Maybe she'd better take some responsibility for it, instead of assuming Small Horse or Zero will take care of it for her all the time like the parent of a self-absorbed teenager.

I would like to point out that that is what we are doing by disciplining her thusly.

They decide that they didn't get paid enough for this..

Sure, but be explicit.  There is no win condition for her except staying with us and getting her shit together.  She's too drunk, too inexperienced, and too socially maladjusted to function, and she's risking becoming too much those things for even us to put up with her.

I'm okay with that as long as we say it in a kind and nonthreatening way.

Sure. I'm even okay with turning her loose and just letting her exist as an independent ally, rather than our minion/employee/soldier/specialist.  But for that not to be self-destructive for her, nor dangerous for us, she needs to sober up, and learn how to interact with other people.  She's not there yet.

TW, who gave you the whiskey?
It was on the table, and the girl could have used a pick-me-up, I think.
Look, we need to talk about the alcohol.
Look, I can take it just fine. It's fun.
It's harmful. I don't want to see you drunk again.
Oh gee, thanks for the concern, dad. At least it's good to know that even IF you're a mass-murderer, at least you have a good stance on alcoholism.
Don't call me a mass-murderer.
Oh, sure. Want me to call you the messiah instead?
What do you s-We can make easter a celebration all about your original death!
Whisper. Your voice lowers to a frightening growl.
Don't. Start.

Ooook, time to calm down, the both of you. Wasn't I the one who's crazy and angry?
Hush, you aren't crazy.
She's UNWILLINGLY homocidal. Big differance.
Stop calling me homocidal.
Stop being homocidal.
Could the both you just shut the fuck up?! TW, We saved you from that lab because we cared about your plight.
I know. I-i... I just wanted to be different from what they made me do, alright? Every day it's just more murder, more processes, more information. I wanted to go outside, save people...
The zombies are regaining their intelligence. Eventually it'll be back the way it was before, under one ruler and immortality for all. I think i'll save a lot more people then i'll have killed.
You seem to be pretty convinced of that. How are you going to live that long? You have the army and Small Horse gunning for you.
Then tell me what to do. What should we do according to you?

TW instantly runs out of steam then. She seems to be in shock at not being able to give an answer.
W-err... Maybe we can make it a cult? although... no that's checked, underground movement impossible, incompetance in followers and missing people... Head-on attack not possible to calculate, not enough data.
Look... You don't HAVE to follow me around specifically. I want you close, but if you need to be alone for a while I'm willing to let you.
Option noted.... refused. Asset too valuable, deemed safe enough. protocol... no connection. Reconnection failed... Increasing motivation.
Diane yelps in surprise as lightning bursts from TW's arms. TW screams in pain as the lightning courses through her. You grab her by the shoulders, getting zapped a bit yourself, and shake her about. The rough treatment snaps her out of it.
You stomp the floor to bite through the pain a bit, while TW falls on the floor, unconsious.
CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?

Well, I think we need to find a surgeon. Or maybe one of the guys who worked on TW. Because it would seem she still has bit in her.

I thought it was because SHM is trying to control her still kind of. But she's on a boat in the ocean so there's no signal.

Did we just logic bomb TW by asking her to voice her opinion and letting her discover for herself that she's full of shit?
