Binah welcomes Penny around ten; the cheerful girl apparently told her door too let her out when the time came.
Yeah, *keeping a technopath emprisoned 101* use a freaking normal lock on the door. It's the same kind of problem as some sci-fi shows insistance on only using lasers to keep prisoners.
"You seem brighter of late,"
"Unfortunately, her Library is worlds away." Binah chuckles and empties her cup again. "She has never once set foot upon Remnant and likely never will. Even now she is bound to the place that she was once built to administrate. Unless you were willing to leave this world when the time for my return comes, you will never meet her."
New librarian get!
Boo!
A Fairy slices through the lot in streaks of gold before they can shoot her again. Each one is reduced into dozens of parts that clutter on the ground. Penny stares at them forlornly, then turns to Binah. "What is going on?"
The fun has begun, that's what.
Then a third salvo from above shreds the block containing the SDC dwelling, setting off its Dust stores. A horrible explosion rocks the entire city and flaming rubble flies everywhere.
I hereby declare the SDC just as responsible for all damages as the military! No, even more!
"Quick," Penny starts to shout, only for pink light to part the heavens in two. She falls silent as Love's first contribution to the battle ends it; Arcana Slave slices right through two destroyers and the flagship. The air screams under her reality-bending might and people across Vale watch in awe. Once again the light of magic shines on Remnant.
Love was always going to be effective in the plan, but it's a good thing we moved Penny, if she had been in the flagship....
It will serve as a constant reminder of today's events, too.
Let's take a picture, make a slogan about it being Ironwood fault, then spread it on the net!
It has not been ten minutes since the attack begun. The threat has passed, but damages are great and panic still spreads. That is, until Ash's song begins to sound across all of Vale. She stands somewhere around Beacon, high enough for nothing to impede her flute's clarion call. The song is delayed, but that will only sell her having to reach higher ground first.
Well, look a this, the attack is finished and the Atlesians were about as effective as a bunch of rocks, almost as if it was enemy action, or they were incompetent, or both, actually, make it both.
"Oz, you can't seriously put any worth into this woman's assessment of the situation!" Ironwood almost pleads with his fellow headmaster, equal parts worried and wary. He knows that his own word is suddenly suspect, but he also knows Binah has every reason to hold a grudge. She is the very last person he wants to speak on his behalf. Alas, the older man is unmoved.
That spectacle is a delight.
Similar goes for Binah, really. The plan she was told saw about propping Penny up by having her disarm the robot uprising. Yet without the gynoid ever remembering or perhaps even knowing about the server's existence, she lacked the excuse to send her there. Then again, this result is perfectly acceptable.
Yeah, it is a pity, but it happened and the main objective was met, the secondary one not being done is not the worst thing that could've happened, far from it.
"You do not seem the type to let another order you around," Arthur observes clinically. In turn, Binah's smirk grows a size.
"They have yet to ask me for anything I do not want to do."
"...that makes sense."
Also, we are not ordering her around, merely offering counsel
please don't hurt me Binah, I'll grovel if necessary.
We are approaching the finale. As such, you receive an open vote here; it serves as a bit of a wish-list. If there was something along the way that I forgot to conclude, or something you wanted to see, write it in here. Just keep in mind that I am not going to start a new story arc, so it should not be anything too big.
Of note, the golden light experiments with Courage will be finished before the finale either way.
I'm thinking taking care of the SDC if it doesn't take too much time, but it probably would, so... giving some advices to Winter and Weiss?
Making the girls more stable is going to be difficult before going back, I think it may be better to have it be worked on in the epilogue.
Figures I'd forget something so exploitable.
I am pretty sure my plan also had it in it too, and it isn't really a problem, Binah did find it funny.
: If only you could have deceived that A.I's creators as well as you are doing now. Truly, a pity how arrogance can bring one so low.
: It does seem like she is returning to the Library.
: I fail to see how the book of that Witch will aid them in a rebellion against us.
: Merely futile struggles of a rusted machine, dear Baral. Merely futile struggles.
