For anyone's interest: This is Samasu, Sadame, and I'll be communicating through here from now on.

I'm sure some people may have questions as to my current appearance, but I have no need or desire to preconceive what those may be, so if you have something to ask, then please, do so.

However, to at least make something fairly clear as a formal announcement: I will be stepping down from the position of Osiris Red Male Dorm Supervisor, with Samasu Shian taking on full responsibilities concerning this. If any students have questions concerning guidance, please direct them in their direction. Otherwise, I will be continuing my position as History Teacher at Duel Academy until further notice.

Thank you for understanding.

Of course she has. [ Muttering to himself. ] No information, under a time crunch, so deeply the underdog it's not even funny, and of course the entire universe is on the line. It'll be fine, Onni. It'll all work out, Onni. And she wonders why I get stressed out? Can't imagine...

...If she was concerned someone would try and stop her then it seems reasonable to assume part of this plan has a lynchpin that can be disrupted by sufficient tactical applications of force. Does that seem correct to you? I know how much you can divulge is... tenuous.

Re: [Event]

Yes, there is always a lynchpin. Our, her Noriko, is that lynchpin. Not like she made this subtle, ultimately... So there's no reason to restrict that information.

She does believe in a more... peaceful option than what Queen Suzume wants. And Noriko has the direct support of the person closest to her.

Which... can be a good or a bad thing on any given day, but it means that the situation isn't entirely hopeless.

Which explains why Queen Suzume is after Noriko. Right. Makes some sense.

I guess this escalates to the next option: How do we stop her. She has the edge on us in planning time and equipment, she will presumably stop at very little to achieve her ambitions given, I presume, her own universe is on the line, and we need at minimum a stopgap to slow her down until cooler heads prevail, and at maximum a way to overcome whatever biggest pieces she's going to throw on the board.

What's our victory condition, Sadame? Other than hoping the Norikos can figure something out.

Re: [Event]

... Alright. Here's what I can at least say.

*finishing the espresso before continuing*

The ideal "victory" condition is that neither world decays. The problem is that despite the urgency Queen Suzume's world is in, this world is in much the same position, thanks to an incident that occurred.

Noriko. Norikos. Have been trying to find a "donor" world. A place that's distinct enough from either worlds that it's been able to develop without being "pruned", and is able to give, essentially, a blood transfusion. This will not damage that world, but instead connect it as a lifeline. The problem is its rarity.
