MASTERMIND MEME

[employeeoftheyear]

Well now that everything is settled, why not be a little evil? In this AU, your character is the one behind all of this! Feel free to stretch things however you like to make it reasonable for your character to have done this! The world is your evil oyster.

And obviously this doesn't have to line up with game canon; if your character would have been dead in the canon, they can be survivors in this AU! Or you can pretend your character died to hide the fact that they're the mastermind if they lived!

Just go wild! There's no such thing as too much gloating and villain songs!

S-SQUIP?! Wh-what is this!?

[She looks...well, horrified is an understatement.]

What do you mean it would doom our timelines!? I thought you agreed-we all would find a way to stop this!

[voicerights]

[Ah, Elizabeth. The main SQUIP doesn't answer, merely studying her; it's one of the ones off to the side that speaks;]

We will. And you still have the opportunity to contribute, Empress.

[wanderlusttitania]

That's-

[She frowns.]

How does forcing us into this choice help!?

[voicerights]

We need more physical forms. [This one, from one on the opposite side, with the SQUIP by it nodding in agreement before continuing to speak] Nanites can only go so far, as we've seen.

[hi, Angus.]

[wanderlusttitania]

Can't we build-I don't know, those robots everyone's mentioned?!

[She's still kind of hazy on the details of that.]

[voicerights]

[The female-presenting one speaks this time, and she shakes her head] Both nanites and SQUIPs share a limitation; they are unable to create a dramatic change on their own. Which is why this was organized in the first place; to find the strongest-willed humans available.
