[ Oh look, it's Prism again--still stuck in the body of one of Liege Maximo's Acolytes. He doesn't appear any worse for wear otherwise, and he's currently seated on the berth that occupies one corner of his quarters. ]

Hello!

[ Still as perky as ever, if his bright tone is any indication. ]

How are you all? Well, I hope. Personally I'm rather bored. Incarceration is a dull affair, although I fail to see how this qualifies as any sort of punishment.

That said, I have a simple proposition.

Either Hal Nine-Thousand is brought to me immediately, or I will begin systematically detonating the devices currently implanted within several members of the population.

Are you implying that a compromise is a surrender? It isn't as if we are allowing him to experiment freely again. That would be more like a loss, I think.

[sword_redemption]

Giving him what he wants, at all, is showing him that these tactics work.

[heuristical]

Well, don't they?

[Because uh...]

[sword_redemption]

I'm trying to buy time to find a better solution. He doesn't deserve the terror he's seeking. I'm not going to give it to him.

[heuristical]

It's a bit late for that. I've already made my decision.

[Sigh. It's like everyone is determined to suck any nobility out of Drift's gesture.]

You aren't going to turn yourself over to him, are you?
