"Captain Vadim agreed for Grungust Alpha and Huckebein Omega to return with us. She's being reasonable about what boils down to theft of a seal entrusted to SSR."
The acting commanders of Unity Group are having a meeting. Technically it's for higher ups only - but it's not behind locked doors, and anyone can just come and listen or even join in. This is no time for protocols.
"If by entrusted you mean they used it as a source of energy. That sounds perfectly responsible... and now the seal's somewhere inside the two units. It's the most mysterious blackbox the boys at engineering have ever seen." Dirchs quickly moves through several sheets of data on his pad.
"A black box that allowed the two to combine, which is funny because the mechanism for combination was already there. Just incomplete, locked down. And no one knew about it."
"..."
"..."
"Why is everyone looking at me? I didn't know of the combination mechanism either. I'm honest this time, sorry to disappoint you! Perhaps you should focus your attention on the one who delivered the Alpha and Omega to Unity Group, hmm?"

"There is little time to act."
Unity Group has prisoners - Lagardia and Graeme, the two last Ancients, now in human form and the latter wounded and given medical attention. They are prisoners, but they came out of their own free will, and asked Unity Group for assistance.
"The One Who Waits is not yet invincible - yet. I know where the Gate of Sorrows is, and with keys on hand we can unlock it. Unlock it, and kill that monster once and for all. Except... there is only two of us remaining. We can't do it alone, so we decided to entrust the fate of the world in your hands."
"I'm afraid I can't assist you, Lagardia. My injuries... ugh. They are too severe."
"Then I will go by myself, but not alone - with Unity Group. Maybe I grew too stubborn in trying to do this on my own... one more thing."
"I realize of things I have done. My actions resulted in deaths of many innocents, for that I have no excuse. If you wish to punish or put me on trial, do it - but do it after the monster is dead. Slaying the One Who Waits is our priority now!"

I'm not trying to make light of this. Considering the facts this is going to be a tough fight...
But with some of the fights everyone here's been through, some of which I was present for... I'd say our imagination for this sort of thing is pretty wide.

[From thousands to six. Not counting the Archivist... from Six to five. From Five to three, and now they're down to two. It painted a grim picture to say the least. The grimace and the trickle of sweat that runs along the side of Calvin's head definitely showed that he could very vividly imagine it.
The information translated by Kagura from the stone tablet painted much of the absolute carnage that occurred.]
... Then I think we have a bit more motivation to ensure it dies...
To keep that from happening again... and to give the dead their due.
