That's partially why I won't vote for it, it has good ideas, but better to try and do it by chunks, that's the nature of a quest, new updates always comes with new information and you risk problems if you have a plan that continues despite that. Can lead you right into a wall.

Ah yes, our daughter turns out to be our daughter. I'm good with whatever wins as long as we don't fight her. But. There is something you guys missing.

Crossing our fingers. Though this could've been an opportunity to grind some E.G.O.

Tempted, but think it's slightly too soon, maybe after the negotiation.

We'll hug her AFTER she give up all 37 of the magical girls.

Could be down for it depending on how things go, but right now it's either going to be OOC or not fully sincere, given the tone of the earlier update

X currently is on the verge of a panic attack.
Let's wait before doing any mom actions.

We can't save everyone. And if we must make sacrifices, to make sure NT doesn't kill humans again, so be it.
But I do want Kyoko back. It will be a test of NT humanity.

X is someone who went out of her way to constantly try to save everyone. (Day 50 no Deaths)
Doesn't matter what you think. X is the type of person to try and save everyone regardless.
No AGENTS deaths. Sadly, clerks are impossible to save from everything, but who counts them over your custom made nuggets?
Also Mami and everyone else is Future X's problem. Honestly explaining to Mami and co that "Actually Kyoko has been replaced since I first met her." is going to be it's own huge issue and topic that we can deal with after talking with NT!
Remember the previous side story... Labeled "I Love You"
Anyway super important line here too, I mean likely 'so close to being human' but... considering who's form she's basing off of could it be to 'so close to being like Kali?' or 'so close to- being/working with you?' If we think about NT's past then the vast majority of their targets for 'being human' have all worked for The Manager so perhaps part of NT believes that working for The Manager is part of being human?
Remember the previous side story... Labeled "I Love You"
... NT's already started to rationalize things and has shifted from just pure 'become human' to more than that. It's "Become Human and Make Manager Happy because of everything The Manager has done."
Seeing as how the thought of Kyoko being dead bothered NT, and how happy she was to go "Look see they're all alive and safe! I /need/ them so even more reason for me to keep them safe!" Which kinda fits in with NT not quite understanding things, I mean they're all alive and with her so The Manager should be happy right?
Hmm the more I read this the more I feel confident that as long as we don't threaten taking away her ability to become human, NT will otherwise agree with anything for The Manager? And even that distressed and embarrassed her for going against The Manager, for losing control of herself.

Does Nothing There know this?

This only counts because we cannot do anything for Clerks.
We can definitely save the 37 magical girls.
If it does, then that information definitely isn't something at the forefront of it's mind right now. But it probably does given that it went out of it's way to keep the MGs alive.

A: with what gun? B: do we currently have disposal bullets to use? I suspect the answer to the second one is no, and the first one... well, we're currently in a confined space with NT, which is honestly significantly less then ideal for aiming fire arms.

One thing I know for sure.
After this, I'm voting for X to have a pillow fort with Yuma and Mami. We need to recharge our energy with some Attachment Work.

Setting aside the nature of the situation, it's quite impressive how far NT managed to get with so little information, and NT somehow knows enough about humans now to attempt to comfort them and mostly succeed

oh u so cheeky
No, some people decide it was hopeless before this situation even occurred. No failure on your part, just some people talking themselves into a corner.
It's currently costing 37 kids their bodies, their autonomy, while being in extreme pain. As someone who has had to live with extreme pain, Nothing There can get bent.
There's no guarantee getting more Gems would work anyway. It's already 37 deep. What, is 40 the magic number? 50? A hundred. Just because Nothing There thinks it's getting closer doesn't mean it is. It's very easy to bullshit yourself.
We already know how, it's using a Magical Girl power, probably Kyoko's, to send an illusion over there.
I'm not voting for any plan that does get all 37 Soul Gems in agonizing pain out of Nothing There. Full stop. No excuses, no bullshit. I'm not opposed to resolving this peacefully, but I'm not taking chances.
[X] Try to Convince Nothing There this isn't the way. There's other options. You made a Cage out of your own EGO, surely it-, or she, of she prefers, can at least let you try to do the same for her. A Shell made of herself. She saw how Lobotomy worked, after all. Those Soul Gems can't take the strain of what she's doing to them, and we know it's hurting the girls inside. X doesn't want that. Anything worth calling human doesn't want that.
-[X] If it continues to refuses, or gets violent, pretend to back down. Ask to at least check on the gems it's had longest with Lobotomy. After it either lets them get checked, or refuses, say that your willing to take the deal until you can figure out something better. The moment you feel that's guard is down, telepathy Homura, and tell her to time stop and get here to bring you into timestop. Then hit Nothing There with Lobotomy, either to put it to sleep so you can safely extract the Soul Gems, or cut it off from the Soul Gems magic and stop the pain.
