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

[killtheanimals]

[...?!]

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

[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.

[killtheanimals]

What are these methods?

[backspacing]

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

[killtheanimals]

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

[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.

[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.

[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.

[killtheanimals]

...So we'd all remain here, trying to find bodies we could survive in this world in.

[backspacing]

In the short-term.

There are ways to get yourself home, but you have to earn your way back.

[killtheanimals]

Earn our way back how?

[backspacing]

By being useful to the organization.

[killtheanimals]

Wonderful. What kinds of things would they have us do?

[backspacing]

I imagine they would have you use your barriers to limit casualties on missions.

[killtheanimals]

[Why is he always the goddang barrier maiden.]

Missions being... running camps like these?

[backspacing]

No, this is a containment procedure.

Missions involve searching out threats and evaluating how dangerous they are.

[killtheanimals]

[...?]

What kinds of threats?

[backspacing]

Anything that could kill humans, mostly.

This place was a threat once, before it was contained.

[killtheanimals]

Was that when the stone was removed from the lake?

[backspacing]

That was about the right time, yes.

[killtheanimals]

...

Were you aware? The dead have been speaking to us even more.

Apparently Sol, the god from that stone, just wants to be a human child who can grow up and live.

[backspacing]

I had heard about the dead apparently speaking to you.

[She has her doubts about that.]

The 'human child' thing is new though.

[killtheanimals]

I think it's worth listening to them. They've told us all kinds of things we wouldn't have been able to know otherwise.

[What did they say...]

The organization referred to Sol originally as... 6219, was it?

[backspacing]

They still do, technically.
