    [X] Return. Inform Dragon that you're busy, having arrived seeking Efficiency's help, but that you're willing to answer precisely three questions in exchange for her own assistance along with Replicator.
    -[X] If asked about your host or your exact power set, or anything that could threaten the cycle, inform Dragon that you will not be answering that question at this time, but allow her to choose another question in its stead.
    -[X] If they continue to trespass on the boundaries you have politely set, tell them their question is impertinent and you will not be allowing them to ask another in its stead.

    Having accomplished the task you set out for with relative ease, you return to Efficiency's workshop. He doesn't even appear to notice, still engrossed in his work, but Dragon does. Unsurprising, of course; even if she is rather slow by your standards, she's still vastly better designed than any computational system on the planet. Exempting your own, that is.

    "That was rather quick. What prompted the activation of Yggdrasil again?"

    "Dealing with your worst enemy." you say shortly. "My primary reason behind coming here earlier was to get Efficiency's help with an innovation. In exchange for your own assistance on top of that, I would be willing to answer three questions. You have five minutes or however long my patience lasts."

    She doesn't even take five seconds to decide. You may not even have had to give her a favor in return; innovators are greatly encouraged to work with other innovators, and as far as they know, you are one.

    "What would it take for you to kill the other two terror drones?"

    You don't even have to think about that question. As they have the potential to be the most deadly threats to Host in this dimension, you've already created a large number of plans for killing them.

    "Less than five minutes to kill both Terror Drone #1, 'Behemoth', and Terror Drone #16, 'Leviathan'. Access to the powers granted to me by my fairy. One or more reasons to actually do so."

    "...You need a- they've killed over a billion people, Titania!"

    "Their next attack is not scheduled for several more months. As such, they do not present a clear and present threat to me, my allies, or even humanity in general. As far as target elimination goes, they are low priority. As it is, I am capable of keeping track of their location and killing them just prior to their next attack. Without Terror Drone #7 to coordinate them, there is only a 33% chance of a new one activating rather than one of the existing ones choosing to attack. As such, it is in my best interests to leave them alive as long as possible."

    There's a long silence. Somehow, you don't think they were expecting an actual reason. Did they really think you would leave two threats specifically designed for single/mass target elimination alive without good cause?

    "What are your powers?"

    "My apologies, but I will not be answering any questions on that topic at this time. Just because I am not aware of any means to kill me does not mean there isn't one. That will not count as one of your questions."

    Another pause. At different parts of the world, several people start whimpering.

    "...Why do you refer to parahuman powers as 'fairies'?"

    "Because a fairy told me to. Specifically: Queen Shaper, the fairy of Panacea. As the first monarch I encountered after connecting with my own fairy, she was the most reliable source for said information. Several other fairies have since confirmed her words."

    "Do you share Scion's immunity to the abilities of other parahumans?"

    "Refer to previous statement about disclosing the nature of my own powers. Please ask a different question."

    "Now that terror drone #7 is dead, what are your other major goals?"

    This time, you're the one to hesitate. You hadn't really thought about that yet; you'd mostly been doing things on a whim.

    "Keeping myself and my father alive. Helping the hosts of fairies figure out creative uses of their gifts. Determining additional applications of my own abilities. Acquiring extra friends and/or allies."
    "...Well, fuck."
    Now that you've answered all their questions, it's your turn to get their help.

    "The favor I request is as follows: assistance creating the best mobile computational device possible. The rarity of any given material is not a concern. Fabrication facilities are not a concern. Size of any given piece is not a concern."

    <GLEE.>

    "Sounds like a fair trade." Armsmaster grunts, still working on his halberd.




    []Assist the hosts of Efficiency and Replicator with their innovating. It likely won't result in a significant increase in effectiveness, but it would save you from having to tweak the design to be non-self-destructive.

    []Speaking of Danny Hebert, you should probably go check on him. If Efficiency's host were to ignore his own words related to false designations, he could easily arrange for Danny Hebert to be harmed.
    -[]Move him to Yggdrasil if you find him. That way, he can be safe forever!
    -[]If he has been harmed while you weren't watching him, take bloody vengeance. (choose one or more options below)
    --[]Opt for overkill.
    ---[]Extreme overkill.
    --[]Kinetic weaponry.
    ---[]An object in motion stays in motion. Full stop. (momentum-locked projectiles)
    --[]Disintegration. (Yggdrasil)
    --[]Swarm tactics. (fairy drones)
    --[]Simply transfer tiny amounts of antimatter next to the bodies of your foes. If there's one thing Queen Shaper taunt you, it's how incredibly useful it is for controlled detonations.
    --[]Malicious portal usage.
    --[]Avoid harming anyone but those responsible.
    --[]Write-in

    []Go track down a certain fairy or group of fairies and help them.
    -[]Negotiator. (Tattletale)
    -[]The newborns you haven't spoken with yet.
    -[]Panacea.
    --[]Get her to

    [SUGGESTION]
    Remove the last question (the one about our goals).
    That way you can have QA troll Dragon about wasting one of the questions while trolling her and everyone else about our goals.
    After all, what goals could an insane Scion-Class parahuman who considers the Endbringers to be 'low-priority' possibly have?
    [TROLLCEPTION]


    No need to tell everyone that we actually care about our father.
    That's just begging for him to vanish into a mysterious inter-dimensional Door.

    Appreciated, but already edited that. Dragon's the one asking the questions, even if she is accepting suggestions, and she wouldn't have made a mistake that blatant with so much at stake. That was human error on my part.

    Oh yeah, and voting is unlocked now. Has been for a few mins.

    I have a feeling that if we told this to any tinker they would say yes no matter what. After all Armmaster can also get the chance to see the laser.
