Beginning of an end

[1, possibly battle log]

Various places all around the world came under attack by Primeval Force clones. These units are copies of all kinds of machines used by humanity, all made from Primeval Force energy - they can be destroyed, but they take a lot of punishment and have more destructive power than the things they copied!

Once the initial attacks are over - some of them repelled, for others the units retreated on their own as if toying with humans, uneasy silence falls upon Earth Sphere. How much more time will pass until another such attack? How long can humanity survive such an ordeal?

How do you react to this? All the while, the titanic avatar of Primeval Force itself watches from space, surrounded by legions of lesser mooks that annihilate anyone that tries to come close.

"It was a pleasure having you on board."

"Now git off! Off me ship, I tell you! I'm giving you 24 hours to get your stuff away from White Chalice!"


"Umm. What the captain is trying to say is that he and the XO came up with a plan. It's unlikely that Primeval Force can be defeated in conventional combat, but it can be contained."

"White Chalice itself will serve as containment. Ayame already left to retrieve the Primeval Force generator which we will use as a trap. In the meantime, we are removing non-essential parts of the ship such as the arboretum or living quarters, and reinforcing the rest."

"So... this is good-bye. But I hope we can count on your assistance one last time, to break through Primeval Force's copies and reach the main avatar. Then we will either contain it in White Chalice for good, or if that's not enough, destroy it while it's contained within."


"Hey! Who told you to get rid of the minigolf course? I'm the captain, I'm not moving from the bridge!"

You managed to pick up survivors from Kairos Aspida. There aren't many... but even a few is better than nothing. Surprisingly for absolutely no one, they are devastated and not really in a talkative mood. But if you insist you can have a short conversation with them.


"Why did it have to... Wate, Henrika? Fuck!"


"..."
"..."

Also look who is among the survivors - isn't it Shinra himself! Though it turns out Shinra is not his name, just a nick he insisted everyone used. Evan Cooper, his eyes no longer shining blue, for the first time in many years is no longer a puppet of Primeval Force. Now he is truly free. And he is fully aware of everything he has done while Primeval Force's slave.

So when you see him, he is like this.

Matthew draws in a breath.

"There is a man, a refugee from Kairos Aspida here named Evan Cooper. We knew him as the sadistic pilot Shinra...and only now have we discovered that his actions were twisted and controlled by the Primeval Force that inhabited his machine all along."

Matthew interlaces his fingers together against his belly.

"He is wounded in mind and spirit. I have no idea how to help him recover from his trauma."

He meets Captain Smith's eyes. "But I believe you could help. As a man who has gone through a similar tragedy, and who later stood up to and destroyed the machine that had enslaved you, I believe you could help him heal...and show Evan that it's possible to heal."

All my fingers crossed for this.

Who knows? Matthew mused to himself. Even if Captain Smith was not a model of stability–

–sometimes, the best way for a person to heal from pain and heartbreak is to help another who's suffered in the same way.

[Well now Matthew you've got the attention of the guy who, under someone else's control, almost had Loran shoot you.

[And he's looking as down in the dumps as ever.]

... Yeah?

How to approach this...tactfully yet truthfully...

"Hail and well met, Evan Cooper." He says at last in greeting. "I...we need your help with something."

"Help"... you've... gotta be joking.

I... the real me, that is... I'm not a pilot. I-I'm a plumber!
