Final Discovery

I wonder... If there is an over-encompassing, universal force from which every other force is born, then what would be its opposite? Wouldn't it be the personal force that's unique to you and you alone?

[Prometheus shrugs in response to Werter's musing.]

Or maybe I'm just waxing pseudo-philosophically. In the end, Primeval Force was no universal power; it was a parasite born from the paradox of a stable time loop. And it is no more.

Now then. I think I'm done being a hero for now. Time for something even more challenging; I still have that degree in biochemistry to get! I used my strength to protect the world in times of war; now it's time to make it a better place to live in times of peace.
With science.

It's possible for her, yes... but between the revelations regarding Takeda and Typhon, things have been cleared up about what Lynn's responsible for and what she isn't.



Exactly. I'm probably not going to be heading any projects of my own in the foreseeable future, and there's reparations and other matters...

... But the Icarus Bombing was ultimately an accident. And I'll trust the courts to decide what's an appropriate punishment for me.

You don't have to do this if you don't want to, you know. After all we've done, finding asylum in another friendly country should be the easiest thing ever.

I... know I don't have to. But I spent seventeen years... almost half my life, running from a mistake I made. And the people who lost family and friends because of me deserve closure.

Besides, what kind of example am I going to present for future scientists if I don't own up to this? I told Simoun that we're all accountable for the actions we do, I'd be a hypocrite to go against that now.

Very well then. Just had to make sure.

Good luck with the trial, then. I'm sure you will get a fair one. And if not... Let's just say you made a few powerful friends.
