"....If thats the case, ok, we'll give it consideration. But if humanity fails to grasp the concept of Mutually Assured Destruction and uses nukes to wipe each other out until there is nothing but a post-apocalyptic wasteland, don't say I didn't warn you.

And really, there are probably more victims of Hailing out there right now, suffering, and we're simply not strong enough to do anything about them. We will simply have to accept that all those people will be lost as we train to defeat him anyways."

She sighs. 23 can already tell that this was not going to bode well for her, any she went about it. She felt for a moment, that she was staring into the abyss, as if gazing into a darkness filled with all the wrong choices, unnecessary sacrifices and lives that will be lost. She knew that it stared back, waiting.

She then look at 22. The one who gave her hope. The one who kept her in check. The one who told her she was not just some random worthless nobody. The first person to care. 23's gaze then became steel and hardened determination. If darkness happened no matter what she did, then so be it, she would make whatever light she could. Even if she had to kindle it with cold unflinching pragmatism.
"Hm? 23, you have a strange look about you, is there something wrong?"
23 smiles.
"...No. Nothing at all. How about we MST the Book of God some more?"

(OOC: Unless there is something else someone would like to talk to the Androids about, I will be ending it off there to transition to the timeskip)
