[Conversely, if she'd done a better job killing it, she'd have died been able to prevent it from killing him.]

I do not want to not have a hand, but I would rather not have a hand than die of sepsis. Sepsis has been explained to me and it sounds like a very bad way to die.

[godsspeed]

Yes. From what I understand it's one of the worse ways to go. Drawn out and painful. This will be better.

I'm sorry that it came to this. I should've been able to... [ Stop the cloaked figure, survive its attack, protect Ecks. ] ...do something. [ Do anything. ]

[ecks]

I did not die. You died. I should have been able to stop you from dying.

[ Castiel is self-aware enough to realize that they could be going in circles all day if they keep this up, at least. ]

It went poorly for both of us. What matters is that we're both alive now, and we can vow to do better next time, if there is one. I hope there isn't. With luck, this will be over soon.

I do not want a next time. I am not going to smash my tablet again. Both times I smashed my tablet the end results were undesirable.

[godsspeed]

I meant in terms of any future violent altercation, whether it's related to the tablets or not, but you're right. I... don't think that was a good idea. I'm not sure what it accomplished, other than causing a great number of deaths and a lot of pain.

Doctor House thought we learned enough things from it, but that was when Doctor House was insane. Doctor Watson made a list of things we learned from it but I do not think that learning those things was justification for how many people died.

[godsspeed]

I'm not even sure what we learned. [ He'd been sort of... Jimmy, at the time when everyone was giving summaries, and then he'd been a captive of the cult of the prophet. ]

Has anyone found a use for the chips Davesprite and John Watson were able to retrieve?

[ecks]

I do not understsnd what we learned either
I do not know
I have not asked them

[godsspeed]

[ Castiel frowns, clearly displeased with the answer. ]

I'll consult with House once it's clear that he's recovering from his ordeal. He had it worse than most of us, but he is... resilient. I have faith that he'll be well soon, or as close to being well as any of us can be.

pretend I didn't switch formats...

[ecks]

Maybe. He is mostly behaving normally but none of you are behaving entirely normally after what happened.

[godsspeed]

It was... difficult for everyone. You witnessed it, or at least some of it. I'm sure you understand.

We'll endure. Or we won't. Time will tell.

[ecks]

Yes. I watched. I was very angry at first and I wanted to murder the people who did it, but I understand now that they did not choose to do it.

Being cut open is very hard but you can live afterwards. I understand this. I want you to understand this.
