Final Trial.

[legionofmods]

[Eventually, after enough searching, a door seemingly appears from nowhere - leading out to a large circular room. There’s a handful of chairs, but not enough for all of you, meaning some of you might have to walk around for a bit. Which is more than fine - this place seems to be filled up to the brim with knick-knacks. Most specifically the clone pods adorning the wall here as well, as well as some fairly innocent lab equipment and scrap metal. Someone used to work here.

Once you’ve all gathered, a voice calls out to you. From within the area.]

DISCUSS WHAT YOU HAVE FOUND. ONCE YOU BEGIN TO GAIN A SEMBLANCE OF WHY YOU ARE HERE, WE WILL DISCUSS YOUR FUTURE.

[masterbreaker]

Will you, now? I'd like to see you try.

[Just as he's about to throw the emerald, he's swept up in Mim's claws. Thank you based Mim!]

[legionofmods]

[is he gonna try and gun mom down while she’s flying? yeah. for sure. you guys escalated this.]

[umslay]

[Ales thankfully thought to bring his tools to the investigation. He has already run to his seat and picked up a wrench.

He chucks it at the robot's head.]

[legionofmods]

[He’s quick to swipe the wrench out of the way, sending it careening.]

INSOLENT—! YOU DOOM YOURSELVES BY RUNNING AWAY IN LIEU OF DISCUSSION!

[liv_nye_the_science_pi]

Should've considered that before kidnapping us for this farce!

[masterbreaker]

[He peeks out from Mim’s claw—]

No kidding! Talk about rude, huh?

[neednoaccuser]

We's just allowed to go murdering and shit until it's inconvenient for you, huh?

[legionofmods]

I NEEDED BATTERIES!

[liv_nye_the_science_pi]

[Oh god the Matrix was right.]

Is that what happened to the League? You burned their souls for fuel?

[....neat]

[Mildly existentially terrifying, but neat.]

[legionofmods]

[Definitely terrifying.]

AND THE SAME WILL HAPPEN TO YOUR DEAD FRIENDS! YOU COULD HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO WALK FREE WITHOUT THEM!

[umslay]

Really? Can't you modify yourself to run on something that isn't so labor intensive?

Is this whole facade really worth it?

[liv_nye_the_science_pi]

That's why he wants the emerald!

[Probably.]

[umslay]

Oh my god! That one thing?! How long will one emerald last him, a year? Two?

[neednoaccuser]

Well if there's seven of 'em, theoretically forever but you need all seven.

[Chaos emeralds is just infinity stones, right?]

[umslay]

Sounds highly volatile if that much energy is concentrated in one small piece of shiny rock.

[neednoaccuser]

That's why normally you only handle one at a time. Last I heard, nobody was even sure if it was possible to use one without killing yourself.

[umslay]

So we take it, shove it in a furnace, and let it blow up this place. Simple enough.

[masterbreaker]

Sounds like a plan to me. What are we waiting for?

[neednoaccuser]

You know what? I'm down. Sounds good.

[legionofmods]

TAKE ANOTHER STEP AND I’LL GRIND YOU INTO NOTHING.

[neednoaccuser]

I ain't scared of no robot.

[legionofmods]

I CAN GIVE YOU A REASON TO BE SCARED.

[umslay]

You mean you still haven't even tried to scare us? Wow, some villain you are!

[liv_nye_the_science_pi]

"Near infinite power," he said. So at least five, give or take.

[She is still bleeding on the floor.]

[liv_nye_the_science_pi]

[That actually would've been tempting, but. Tinplated fucker made it personal.]

Except there's a reason you didn't just kill us yourself, isn't there? What's your battery life looking like right now?
