Tell me.

What are the exact circumstances it's activated under? And how exactly would it happen?

[After all she's put him through, surely he's earned the right to ask this much?]

From:

backspacing

There's three situations where it would activate: within 24 hours of my death, if there are less than ten campers remaining before the start of week seven, or if there is still anyone left alive by the strike of midnight on Sunday of week eight.

From:

killtheanimals

[...Who'd have thought that trying so desperately to save the others with his magic was in fact saving others from it?

He is very slightly mollified now that she's giving some answers.]

And you were planning to make them change their minds before that Sunday?

From:

backspacing

That is the plan, yes. I have a backup plan in mind if we get to Saturday evening with no results, but that one is riskier.

From:

killtheanimals

Can you tell me anything about them. I can stay silent if I must, but we need to know what to be prepared for.

None of us plan to take it without fighting, and enough of us are prepared to fight back if we feel there's no good options available.

[In the worst case scenario, they will bring themselves down in flames.]

From:

backspacing

Please do a better job of keeping it quiet than Ren has.

[Seriously, the medicine thing was supposed to be a secret.]

My plan is to claim that you are all members of the organization and that they have to spare you from death. They're so occupied with bureaucracy that the claim will buy us enough time to get back to headquarters, where I can make the rest of you 'disappear into the system' so to speak. enough people owe me favors that I think I can pull it off.

From:

killtheanimals

I'm not an idiot.

[Please, have some faith in him.]

The organization - is that what that eye on Amamiya's phone was? They certainly showed it off to just about everyone in the room, though not everyone was stupid enough to sign up for something completely unknown.

From:

backspacing

Pretty much. It's a good thing Shirou tried to log in, I wouldn't have found out about it in time to block out the cameras otherwise.

That isn't quite the signup method, though. That's more like "I would like to read the newsletter." With me speaking for the rest of you, that would be a recruitment.

From:

killtheanimals

A newsletter...?

[Weird.]

Not all of us qualified, though. Tsukino seemed interested in it, but it rejected her.

From:

backspacing

I imagine because, based both on her personality and her abilities, my organization would treat her more like something like Sol.

From:

killtheanimals

[...?!]

...So it doesn't work for... godly beings?

From:

backspacing

The usual methods wouldn't work, no. There are other ways to do it for beings that don't qualify for the usual methods.

From:

killtheanimals

What are these methods?

From:

backspacing

Having someone within the organization and of a high enough rank speak for you is the best one.

From:

killtheanimals

The same method you'd be using for the rest of us?

From:

backspacing

It's what I'm going to try to do, yes. For some of you I might not be a high enough rank though, which is why I asked Archer to come here.

From:

killtheanimals

I see...

And how exactly would you plan to squirrel us away after that? Where would we go? It isn't like we can just continue our lives like nothing happened, especially when we're infected.

From:

backspacing

You would be hidden within the organization, at safer sites than this one. This organization is much bigger than you know, it's easy to make people 'disappear' into it.

With the proper medication, you all would get several years of life, if not a decade or more. And if Kurotsuchi is making more false bodies, then I might be able to convince him to make new ones for all of you.
