Anthropic principle

[Alessandra wipes her eyes. She's crying, and not bothering to hide it. But those are the tears of joy.]

You were there.

At the very moment, when the enemy felt most overwhelming, we received incredible help in the form of everyone who has the power and determination to fight against wrongdoing. Our allies and friends... are infinite.

And you were there, among them. Sir Azrad, the Magician.

I have been so incredibly joyful to see you once again, one last time.

[She looks down, at a certain trophy left behind by the Demonbane Army. It's a genetic sample of pandas, now secured in a big glass tube. Just in case.]

Now then. I wonder what should we do with this.

[She shakes it a little. It sloshes.]

It must have been an incredible sight.



One Werter's footage doesn't do justice too.

[fermionprincess]

It was a view I shall never forget. It still stands vivid before my eyes.

At that very moment, my heart awakened to fully understand the meaning of heroism.

[link_to_revival]

I know what you mean...

Acting to help others, even people you've never known and will never see again... that's heroism, altruism at its finest!

And knowing that there's people out there, people from all walks of life who are willing to do that, ready and able to come calling whenever the signal is sounded... of course there's no way Nyarlathotep would ever be able to win.

[fermionprincess]

Well said!

Though admittedly, the signal-caller in question was sir Kurou, who decided to stay behind for reasons unknown - or perhaps, it was the only way, the last person to open the gateway for others to use and then be trapped in eternal emptiness...

[saikyocivrobo]

Do I have to remind you that one of your friends happens to be a biochemist?

[fermionprincess]

I cannot map the relation between this statement and that of the neverending army of allies of justice, sir Werter.

[saikyocivrobo]

I should be able to analyze that genetic sample. Make sure it's viable and undamaged.

And then we can hand it over to someone who's an actual biologist. Someone trusted, with resources on their hands. Soon, pandas will return to Earth again!

[fermionprincess]

Oh, what joyous day! So this is the focus of your conversation - not the event past, beautiful as it may be, but the restoration for the future.

[saikyocivrobo]

We've been both there. We've both met Azrad again, fought against a universe of evil, and said goodbye to Kurou and Al. Words won't express the emotions we felt as well as our shared memories do.

[Werter coughs into his fist to stop a tear from forming.]

Pardon me, I got poetic for a moment. Yes, this is the key to bringing at least one of the many extinct species on Earth back into the world. The pandas Conor killed won't return, but the species will.

...I wonder who was the creature that gave this to us.
