I believe I have some information that might be of use, or at least to consider.

[The voice is low and very even, having only the barest hint of a conversational cadence.]

My companion, Shuyi, and I managed to locate and capture Miz Poppy. We captured her and two of her Deemer companions, and as we began to take them back to Perdition's Rest, she had some very interesting things to say.

She reaffirmed that there was no way to safely separate a Taraxa from its host without the destruction of the latter. What is more troubling, however, was that she insisted that hers and her compatriots' mission of destruction was something which the TIMELINE.EXE asked of them.

Before we could deliver her back here, one of the other captured Deemers sacrificed himself so that she may escape in the confusion.

It is not my intention to offer this information in order to incite mass confusion or doubt, as it is quite possible she was lying. But I do not think we can completely discount that she might be telling the truth—or that she and her fellows are somehow deluded enough to believe that they are. It is, as I originally said, something to at the very least keep in mind.

[ be so glad that you can't see Loki's face rn ]

If you intend to write a tale out of this, I'd lose the trademark.

[ he's always glad when he can't see loki's face HEYOOOOOO ]

You know what I mean. Most of us might be rookies in this whole saving timelines business, but we you, we have us, the Voltrons, who're already knee-deep in the universe-saving business. We got a lot of really competent and smart and strong people, and some real good hearts around here too. Most of us seem to want to do the right thing, and that's pretty much step one in this kind of thing, isn't it?

I'm not going to start considering dying.

[gunah]

And why not? To live is to slowly die. It is inevitable.

[twinpeak]

Yeah? But I'm also only thirteen, kinda want to make it back home at some point, aaaand this conversation has officially turned weird.

[gunah]

Children younger than you have died.

[ But she thinks he doesn't want to hear that. ]

Let us choose the right ally then, the one who will keep their promises.

[twinpeak]

[ Oh. No, he really doesn't. ]

... Sure thing, lady. I'll get right on that.

[ he's not unaffected by optimism, but there's a little puff that finally comes from his lips, both dubious and exasperated, but not unwillingly to be something other than contrary. ]

...

It all just depends on whose right thing.

[competing]

Then I guess we all should start getting a little louder.
