[yet another public service announcement!]

Hey, everyone.  About a month and a half ago I told you all that the barrier is going to collapse in a few months. We've got four months left before that happens and this is what I have for options.

Option 1: we reinforce the barrier so that when the six month mark rolls around, we're still good.

Do you think 2 would actually work?

[tobethemiracle]

I'd be willing to try it.

[runstowardsfire]

So would I, but can we actually talk to something that just wants to eat the universe and make it understand?

[tobethemiracle]

I would try. It's how my powers work.

[runstowardsfire]

You can communicate with everything?

[tobethemiracle]

Yeah, pretty much. Though this thing is a wee bit creepy, I can admit.

[runstowardsfire]

You've tried to find it's mind . . .

[tobethemiracle]

Oh, no. It found mine.

[runstowardsfire]

[Eww . . .]

So it can get to people's minds. And what did it want?

[tobethemiracle]

Hell if I know. I'm working on that.

[runstowardsfire]

There are still translational issues . . . Assuming we can talk to it, what would make it change its mind?

[tobethemiracle]

I have absolutely no idea. I'm not even sure it has a mind as you consider it.

[runstowardsfire]

Awareness? Consciousness? One of those words since it is not possessed of a regular mind.

[tobethemiracle]

It's ... there?

[runstowardsfire]

A presence--all right . . . what can we do to it then, if we actually get to 3?

[tobethemiracle]

I can redescribe it, make it so that it's vulnerable to attack. Then you guys go nuts.
