—nyone there? Can anyone hear this? Shouldn't be here have to try but I'm dead if they find out, I'm dead anyway because it's all gone wrong—

[Several panicked breaths, and then several longer ones, forced.]

She's coming. The organization wanted power because why should you all be the only ones who have it, we wanted to break through to other worlds and this was they way—if Atropos was summoned here, she'd shatter the barriers, walls would become doors, but that's not happening, everything's just falling apart.

I've tried to call it off, this experiment's a failure, we'll do something else but the others won't listen. They've glimpsed something beyond and it did things to them...or maybe they're just that committed. Maybe I'm the weak one. I don't know.

Listen. LISTEN. She's going to come, the process has already begun. Can't be stopped. Calculations say she'll arrive on the full moon and if she's alone, god help us all. But if you can summon her sisters, they'll bring her here with them, and there'll be balance. Vulnerability. No guarantee.

Don't know how. Don't know if it's possible. But you're heroes right? Do something. PLE—

Spelling, more than anything, but yes. If we're to descend into one of the dimensions of hell, I may as well be dragged down there doing what I'm at least decent at.

When the odds of me killing a comrade are quite high with my involvement, I do tend to take pause, thank you.
Besides, what is lightning or fire supposed to do against a world-eater?

[golisolation]

[adamantlyardent]

Whether you intend it or not, the way you word it reads to me as a means of trying to guilt me into some action -- action, as you have just said, no one has any actual idea of its worth in this case? What is your angle here?

[golisolation]
