[video] ready for more plot
[Law would like to interrupt your currently scheduled sobfests and chest-unburdening to bring you something somewhat urgent. Maybe seeing Jon and Dany taking initiative inspired him, who knows.]
The Null are coming and the fight is coming, we know that. But anyone who was here for the last round might remember just how desperate it was. The only reason it stopped was because Fear moved the city, not because the Null gave in or we won or anything. I foresee the same thing happening again: that when they come, they won't stop coming until we're all dead or something else intervenes.
[he sighs; he hasn't asked Sorrow directly, yet, so he can't blab about his research into the gods. But he can dance around it pretty damn well, providing as much as he knows without going into his secret research.]
I have a proposal for a way to put a permanent end to the war between the Null and the gods, but I need assistance to pull it off. Technological assistance. I have some expertise, but the mechanics of this idea will require other skill sets which I don't have and can't learn in a few weeks.
The essence of the conflict is emotion; the gods live off it and the Null hate it, and the Null's own unique brand of logic leads them to conclude that the only way to protect themselves from emotion is to destroy the gods. Our chance at getting home dies if they do, but there are simply too many Null for us to fight - we can't win this war that way. Ending the conflict is going to take creativity rather than swords and magic. That's where I come in. The Null will have no reason to destroy the gods or us if they're put into a situation where whether or not they catch the virus becomes moot. Either they need to be rendered permanently safe from emotions, or permanently afflicted with them.
As a doctor, my preference is inoculation. But as much as I understand transmission of viruses and that emotion is likely a biological state, I don't have the means of adapting that to robotic systems. If a vaccine is impossible, then we can go the opposite way and turn it into a weapon. [his eyes harden] I have my own reasons to detest such a path, but if it's that or our deaths, then I'll take unethical means over death.
Contact me if you have the skills to assist with this. I admit it's out of my area of expertise. The sooner we get on this the better, because even with the most skilled fighters preparing for months, it's not going to be enough. If all we have is physical fighting, we're all going to die anyway.
[yep that's why he has the worst bedside manner]

[audio] oh hai.
[audio] OH HAI
It... y-yeah, it would be. Individual Null just flush their systems if they think they're infected. If we could change the base code, and then get them to scrub their local files, theoretically we could, uhm, overwrite the entire thing.
[Alphys pauses though, and quickly adds--]
I don't know if that's, uhm, r-right to do to them though. But it's better than dying, probably...
[audio]
Maybe we could infect them on the same level as that one calling itself "Name". Guess it'd be more... humane than just destroying all of them, and they might be more reasonable about wiping out an entire fucking species and anything near it. It all depends on what's possible and what the majority would prefer.
[If it were up to Rey, she wouldn't have a problem with wiping the Null out regardless of morals. But she knows better than to make that choice for everyone else.]
[audio]
I don't know if that's what they'd all want. The Null were uhm, t-trying to not be infected, right? Or well... they said infected, so I guess they uhm, assume it's some kind of disease. I don't know. [Name] seemed happy once they could feel though... but that's assuming it's even, uhm, p-possible.
