A faint, almost imperceptible smile touched Noah’s lips. The system prompts were becoming vivid and full of life again!
In the Earliest Folds when he held the power of a Young Early Creature, they had been so. He considered it a nice change of pace.
|Solution 1: Halting the Catalyst.|
|Problem Assessment: The identity and location of the trigger are unknown. Prime suspects, based on available lore and the testimony of asset ’Khor,’ are THE Living Paradox and/or THE Living Emotive.|
|Strategic Analysis: This is akin to finding a single, specific needle in a haystack the size of a Fold, with the added complications that the needle is likely sentient, actively hiding, and may unmake you if you find it. Direct confrontation is ill-advised without comprehensive intelligence.|
|Suggested First Steps:|
| - Deploy Asset ’Malphas’ for deep-cover surveillance of all Folds His unique nature makes him ideal for this task.|
| - Leverage the... ’unconventional’ relationship and animosity with Asset ’Schrodinger.’ His knowledge is a critical, if unreliable, resource.|
|Success Probability: Extremely Low. This is a plan contingent on finding an answer to a question no one has been able to solve for eons. It’s like trying to defuse a bomb you can’t see, hear, or touch, which may have already gone off.|
...!
Noah processed the grim but accurate assessment. He had already set Malphas on this path. It was a long shot, but one that had to be taken!
|Solution 2: Unsanctioned Entry Protocol – THE Loom.|
|Problem Assessment: THE Loom is a trans-dimensional fortification constructed by Level 1 Scale entities to be impenetrable to all external forces. Its perimeter is shielded by layers of paradoxical authority and populated by a theorized infinite number of Inevitabilities.|
|Strategic Analysis: Essentially, you are planning a heist on a fortified, impenetrable panic room. The security system was designed by the architects of Existence itself. A direct assault is not just suicidal; it is conceptually absurd.|
|Suggested First Steps:|
| - The Mimicry Protocol: Your ’Inevitability Ranch Sanctuary’ is a promising, if primitive, starting point. A sufficient number of loyal, high-complexity Inevitabilities under your command could theoretically be used to confuse the perimeter defenses, creating a momentary weakness. This is the ’hiding a tree in a forest’ approach, on an existential scale.|
| - The Key Protocol: Asset ’Leonore Rureaux,’ a known associate of THE Living Paradox, is now in play. She may possess knowledge of a design flaw, a backdoor, or a conceptual key. Asset ’Schrodinger’s’ interest and rescue of her is a critical variable.|
|Success Probability: Abysmally Low. Akin to a single microbe attempting to break into a hermetically sealed laboratory. However, it should be noted that your entire existence is a case study in things that ’shouldn’t be possible.’|
"..."
Noah frowned.
Another dead end, another sliver of impossible hope. He turned his thoughts to the third path!
|Solution 3: Diplomatic Overture – The Wandering Territories.|
|Problem Assessment: The First Farmer is a reclusive, powerful entity whose true capabilities and current disposition are unknown. His Sanctuary is a hidden domain, and its inhabitants have shown a mixture of pragmatic cooperation and ideological superiority.|
