"No, I am not fine," Elliot said to Emily, getting to his feet. His head filled with a rush of emotions that bounced off each other, but most primarily was an intense rage he felt for Vader. He glared at the man, before asking, "who do you think you are?"

Elliot extended an arm and conjured a force of energy that swept across the room, catching any dancers and primarily Grif in the assault. Elliot's main target was Vader, who had to deal with the wave of energy and people. Following that up, fire blasted from Elliot's other hand, slamming the wall behind Vader and setting it aflame.

The concussive force that Elliot fired was enough to knock him off his feet, the soldier falling over and landing on his butt. Said force was enough to snap Grif out of his little trance (or whatever it was), causing the soldier to look around at the illusion being destroyed.

“Uh, yeah... you guys have fun destroying this shit or each other. I’ll just nap here.” He said before falling backwards, landing on his back, and going to sleep.

"I'm glad the situation was resolved. If it has escalated further, things might not of turned out for the best." Green Heart exclaimed as she was relieved to see that things were resolved peacefully. However she couldn't help but keep an eye on him just in case, he doesn't seem to be the one who's so willing on dropping his obsession.



"Hmm. How peculiar indeed, Liara..." Green Heart stated in agreement, staring at the Delusion asking for deletion. It seemed pretty weird that a AI wishes for death. "Hmm. Perhaps we'd be better off finding out exactly what's hurting him and fix it from the inside. Perhaps if this is indeed an Artificial Intelligence, perhaps something's gone wrong in it's programming? It could be suffering from overheat or internal damage."

"Okay... so how do we fix it?" Krystal said.

「Ahaha, just a little rampaging around? Alright, alright, I'll join this dance then.」

Kumagawa, whose gloomy mindset was so imposing it forced the image of screws onto the world, had been mostly unaffected by the euphoria much like Vader. He was, after all, someone who couldn't even imagine himself winning, much less euphoric. Unlike Vader, however, he had felt little motivation to do anything about the others. He had been content enough to watch and see how others reacted.

Though if the situation came to this...

A barrage of screws materialized in the air and fired upon Elliot, Vader, and the dancers that were not a part of their group. They were aimed so poorly at Elliot and Vader that one would wonder if his eyes were seeing straight, but aimed precisely at the illusory dancers as he aimed to screw them into the equally illusory walls around them.

"!"

Spock visibly wore a stunned expression as Sarge obliged and abruptly decided to "delete" the man before learning any further (Starscream's rock seemed to also have a minimal effect), the man's body going limp like a real person being murdered, before his body suddenly turned gray and burst into tiny specks of dust, or rather, what one could assume to be scattered data. Though his demeanor was usually calm and collected, his expression was now visibly somewhat displeased, the First Officer shaking his head.

"Whatever the reason for his pain, it is impossible to determine with him erased," Spock said to Krystal, and others pondering over the AI's condition, before turning to Sarge with a disapproving mien, "Your perchance to violence may have cost us a convenient opportunity to learn more about this world and a way to undo the corruption in his data. Furthermore, considering his apparent self-awareness, he may have even been a new form of life; let us hope he did not reach that level of intelligence. Even so, our action did not follow any logical or emotional course," he scolded, "It seems that there is error on my part to estimate that the people of your world would be as developed as your technology."

"Dr. T'Soni is right, however," the First Officer proceeded to nod toward Liara, as the others cast doubts on how to proceed from here, "We must simply track down further sources of data despite the setbacks. Still, it is... intriguing. More and more questions are being raised the longer we remain here."

The wall being set ablaze broke Kirby out of his dancing. Instead, he began panicking. He tried to find water, ice, or anything that he could use to put out the fire.

In the worst case scenario, he eould tey inhaling the fire itself, hoping that it would calm the blaze.

Quill let the music play in his head and he quickly noticed that something was wrong. It wasn't that the wall was burning- it was that there was- for some reason, he decided that destroying the wall might be a good thing. Despite his mind screaming that it was a bad idea, he punched the wall that was on fire.

"Steel yourselves!" Titus arose with his deep voice, moving from his sentry position and standing between the sergeant and first officer. He looked down at Sarge and shook his head, "Acting on immediate impulse defines a beast, not a man. . .however," Titus now turned back to Spock. "Though I can't fathom a machine feeling the same pain as a man, if that man was truly suffering. . .to prolong his existence for a solution that may not have even worked is illogical."

"He deserves the Emperor's peace. That is the least we can give him."

It's moments like this where the line between 'scientist' and 'soldier' are so clearly drawn, with Spock and Liara standing on the opposite end of Sarge and Titus. The space marine knew all too well the act of honorably executing a battle-brother who is in suffering and too far gone to be recovered. It is the duty of the Apothecary to deliver the Emperor's peace to those brothers who cannot be restored to fighting condition or interred within a Dreadnought.

It is an ugly job, something that even a steely veteran like Titus wouldn't be willing to do.

"Enough of this; what is done is done. We'll have to find another clue," Titus remarked, turning the conversation back to Liara's suggestion. The true sons of Ultramar were always regarded as being masterful statesmen and leaders. . .perhaps Guilliman smiles upon Titus in this moment.

"Your superior." But even with that boast Elliot's assault on him was ruthless and efficient. It wasn't often Vader was put to the test but the attack made him fall to his knees as he used the Force to block most of it. The fire danced on Vader's armor as he got back up on shaky legs.

"You show disdain for your peers yet you let illusions entice and lure you into their nest. Wake up, boy." Now Vader's attention was all on Elliot. He sensed Kumagawa's intent but let him do as he pleased. The sloppiness behind his attack seemed to more be a distraction towards the two. Even so Vader focused his hand towards Elliot who would feel like something was tightening around his neck. "You're nothing but an animal lashing out. It is time for you to kneel."​

"You didn't exactly allow us an opportunity to find a solution to his pain," The anger in Liara's voice was evident as she berated Sarge. "And finding the cause will be far more difficult now." Liara sighed, realizing it was pointless to argue the matter any further. "Let us continue on then. If there is an error here we need to find it and try to find the solution." ​

The fire blew out, but the chaos was just beginning.

"You sound like my mother," Elliot said through gritted teeth. He was singularly focused on Vader, choking out a laugh as he felt a tightening around his neck. "Same tactics too...!" For him, the illusion had broken the moment Vader had hit him. Elliot needed no excuse to lash out.

The dancers began falling and the walls began crumbling. Elliot's expression turned from amusement to anger and his face reddened from the strain. He thrust an arm forward, throwing lighting that lashed around the room, dancing around Vader's feet and tripping up the remaining dancers. James, breaking out of the illusion now himself, ducked for cover. Finally, with his other hand, Elliot seemed to pull on an invisible rope, creating a rip in space itself in the middle of the room. The tear began to pull everything toward, though everyone found it easier than the dancers, who were pulled easily into nothingness.

The child continued to lash out, but it seemed that Vader had succeeded with that he started. Even so the lightning that was lashing around them caused no small discomfort as they hit his body. Proverbial smoke emitting from his body as they did so. "We are done here, Elliot." It was the first time Vader had addressed the boy by his name and it was clear that the Sith had sustained damage from the fight.

"If you wish to kill all of use feel free, but I wonder how long you will survive once you regroup with the others. Alone." Vader had used the force to latch himself to the ground, but that would only be viable for however long the floor held up. Considering the power put on display that wasn't perhaps for much longer.​

We will press forward regardless. However, if we are to press forward though, it will be difficult to determine where would be the best direction to take, unless a--" He continued, before stopping in mid-sentence as something peculiar began to happen.

The specks of "data dust" that once formed the distorted man suddenly began to make their way directly forward, all of them floating off, united like a pack of animals. Curiously, the Vulcan cocked his brow, wondering where they were congregating toward.

He looked back at the rest of the group, beckoning everyone to follow. "Let us hope, if the intelligence that resides in this contraption is capable of emulating emotion, that it is not yet capable of spite or retribution just yet. Shall we?"

@Castle

Emily was powerless here; this realization struck her hard as Elliot went berserk. Although... As the ensuing chaos unfolded, resulting in a tear that threatened to suck everyone in the room into what looked to be some form of void, Emily took action, shouting as loud as she could over the noise that had enveloped the room by now.

"Elliot, stop! You'll kill us all!" She shouted desperately.

Unlike back in the ship Hangar, she no longer had her stone to keep Elliot's powers from endangering the others... But even as powerless as she was, Emily refused to stand by as Elliot put everyone in the immediate area at risk like before. As she spoke, she tried to fight the pull of the tear he had created, attempting to make her way towards him... In a futile effort to restrain him... Or at least talk some sense into him... Somehow...​

 

[Atomic Knight]

"Who said I want to kill all of you!?" Elliot yelled, rubbing his neck and crouching down so that he could hold back against the force of his own tear. "Darth Vader alone would just be lovely~!"

Suddenly, Elliot let go, allowing himself to be pulled toward the tear. However, before he fell inside, he closed his hand into a fist, closing it. Below him was one of the dancers. Elliot slammed his foot down on the dancer's neck, who started to distort. "How dare you?" he asked the entity. "Was your goal to keep me trapped in some kind of illusion? A grave mistake was made. No one will ever hold me under their boot!"

Elliot held out a hand to the dancer and burned it out of existence. He then cried out in anger, tossing fire at the remaining dancers until none remained. The walls had fallen and everyone stood now in a courtyard, alone.

As the illusion broke, Mizelia broke her isolation. She then quickly gathered energy through the Force. "That's enough, you two." Mizelia said, gathering the energy needed should the two switch their focus to her.

But before she can succeed, Elliot was already done and Mizelia found herself in a courtyard. She lets out a sigh as she lets go of the Force energy. This boy is going to be their death if he doesn't keep his emotions under control. She starts to walk tiwards Elliot. She looked at him disappointed "What where you thinking?! Going so far with your anger to even attack us! You need to keep your emotions in check, or you will get us all in serious danger." Mizelia said, seemingly somewhat angry and disappointed at the man. Yet, Vader could sense from Mizelia that she wasn't trully angry at him, but she was very disappointed.

“A trail! Come on men, let’s follow it! It may lead us to the Blues!” Sarge exclaimed, breaking out into a jog to chase the lead they had just discovered.

"Indeed. Let's find the source of this unknown distortion and hopefully as well find a way out of this simulation. I only wonder as to what's happening to us while we're in here. Who could be watching over our bodies while we're data in this simulation?"

"I suppose... we cannot truly know for sure about the condition of his... humanity until we learn more about the workings of this machine, if even then," Spock responded to Titus, while letting Liara respond to Sarge, the blue-skinned alien essentially echoing his personal sentiments, "Indeed, though. We will press forward regardless. However, if we are to press forward though, it will be difficult to determine where would be the best direction to take, unless a--" He continued, before stopping in mid-sentence as something peculiar began to happen.

The specks of "data dust" that once formed the distorted man suddenly began to make their way directly forward, all of them floating off, united like a pack of animals. Curiously, the Vulcan cocked his brow, wondering where they were congregating toward.

"... unless a clue was given."

He looked back at the rest of the group, beckoning everyone to follow. "Let us hope, if the intelligence that resides in this contraption is capable of emulating emotion, that it is not yet capable of spite or retribution just yet. Shall we?"

Meceliss looks towards the 'data dust' as it formed and made its way towards something. "Perhaps it wasn't an entire waste after all. And yes, let's hope that. Though I wouldn't blame it if it does and wants retribution against Sarge." she said as she gives a glare towards Sarge.

“Stop what? Acting like a true Red? That’s like asking me to cut off my right arm! And that’s my shootin’ arm!” Sarge exclaimed as he continued forward.

"No, acting like a reckless idiot. So far what I have seen, not even Titus acts as hostile as you. And that says something about a man from a dimension in which this tech is seen as heretic. If you're a soldier, than you're the worst example of a soldier I have ever seen." Meceliss said back towards Sarge.
