Part Two | Irontomb Research Progress Update
- ID:
Aventurine
Logging in...... - Jade: What progress has been made on this special research?
- Subordinate 1: Unfortunately
- Subordinate 1: our analysis indicates that Irontomb's infection
- Subordinate 1: is not limited to inorganic life.
- Subordinate 1: Its outbreak would erode the cosmic constant anchored by the Erudition,
- Subordinate 1: transforming the cosmos's established laws of logic into chaos.
- Subordinate 1: The cascading effect would dismantle not only the framework of cosmic civilizations, but also the essential structures of individual lifeforms.
- Subordinate 2: Through the analysis of its equations,
- Subordinate 2: we can assert with confidence that the overflowing virus
- Subordinate 2: can be rendered harmless below a certain threshold.
- Subordinate 2: The digital vaccine program is feasible.
- Subordinate 2: However,
- Subordinate 2: Irontomb has not yet fully manifested,
- Subordinate 2: yet its negative impact is already comparable
- Subordinate 2: to that of a fully formed Lord Ravager.
- Subordinate 2: Were it to fully materialize,
- Subordinate 2: we would have no countermeasures against an energy output
- Subordinate 2: exceeding that of an Emanator.
- Jade: Can the emergence of the Irontomb be delayed?
- Subordinate 2: We consulted Mr. Screwllum,
- Subordinate 2: and his conclusion matches ours.
- Subordinate 2: The birth of the Irontomb
- Subordinate 2: is very likely an instant, anchored by Nous,
- Subordinate 2: and thus unavoidable.
- Subordinate 1: The key still lies within the Scepter.
- Subordinate 1: What's the extent of the Trailblaze's capacities,
- Subordinate 1: and how can they slow Irontomb's hatching process...
- Jade: Prepare for the worst,
- Jade: no matter the cost.
- All: Understood
