[ A BIG FAT OVERVIEW, PART 3 ]
[ clears his dry throat and swallows ]
So we destroy the Judges... what happens after? To us, to the others... to all our teammates who're with the Judges right now, or taken by the earth... and what about the wishes that we all came here for in the first place?
Scowl... covered it before, but I'll say it again. Destroying the Judges is supposedly gonna result in a huge release of life energy, which The Gentleman himself can use to free those with the Old Man... they'll be safe and well, and able to be sent home. ...alive.
The remaining Judges on our side can take care of sending everyone home with King out of the picture. There's probably even a few of us here who can do it with their own powers, once the bracers are gone. It's also assured that everyone who's currently staying indefinitely with Judges can easily be returned.
As for wishes...
...for the ones that might be harder to fulfill with the powers of everyone we've got in this place, it's believed possible by Messenger himself to channel King's powers even once his keystone is destroyed, and use it for those. We're not gonna have to negotiate with King at all to get what each of us have gone through this place for, for all this time.
[ pauses, looking at everyone. ]
To sum it up: we've got a plan. We've got the power to make it happen. There are things we can do to fight and survive this place instead of waiting for the end to come, or waiting for that slim chance of King's permission to leave. And we need to do it together. Because I doubt there's a single one of us here who doesn't want the same thing in the end; to not just fall here.
...
[ deep breath. ]
And please-- it doesn't have to be now, or tomorrow-- but tell other people these things. Sometime. They have the right to know at least the very basics of it-- there's less security the more people know, but the less people know the more panic, confusion or misunderstanding there might be later. Jace has the ability to help protect our knowledge-- you've seen it in action. Those who're more comfortable with Judges can talk to the ones we have. Messenger in Delphinus, Flowers in Hydra, Persona in Lacerta.
And the fact is, with everything that goes on in our lives here, there's no way one or two of us can tell everyone all these things. Take this home to your teams. Your partners. Make sure they know what's happening. Make sure they're ready for it when the time comes. And above all talk about it only where it's safe.
....
I hope that answers a lot for all of you. I don't know if I've covered everything. Might've missed something. Again, speak up if I have.
