		+
		+	The next obvious thing to have happen is for Burnee to acquire a plasma weapon. Thus armed, with a Mark ability and Assassin skills the character becomes pretty terrifying. Which, while fun to imagine, can be boring to play. All the interesting dynamic tension between Burnee and Grald have necessarily faded, to make way for effectiveness needed at these levels.
		+
		+	More telling is the nature of the game, which is not a high-stakes cat-and-mouse interplay between a terrifying Mathematician/Technician and a Mentalist with vaunted prescience. This requires a lot of clever interplay to weave the narrative tapestry in a meaningful way... <br>
		+	...which I cannot pull off in my current mental/emotional space.
		+
		+	So, we're putting this game down.

		+	<blockquote>
		+	While waiting for something ominous to happen, Grald suddenly sees something ominous, curtesy of Burnie.
		+
		+	A fold space suddenly appears on the rooftop and a human female steps out. She’s obviously geared up as an adventurer and has an intense look about her.
		+
		+	Grald is startled and takes a few steps back – at least that’s what he perceives. Burnie is keeping the body still, surveying the skies for incoming Kvankii.
		+
		+	Jody: “Grald! Nice to finally meet you while you’re awake. Things have gone to hell and I need your help.”
		+
		+	Grald: “Whuu?”
		+
		+	Jody: “This is going to be a lot to take in, but try to keep up, ok?”
		+
		+	Grald: “Um, ok. Who are you again?”
		+
		+	Jody: “I’m Jody. Remember, the person who healed you, and gave you that ring?”
		+
		+	Grald: “Oh right. Thanks for that. I was beginning to wonder if that was a dream or something.”
		+
		+	Jody: “Funny you should say that, but we’ll get to that. The main reason I’m here is to tell you that you’re seriously fucked. Short of being dead, you’re about as fucked as someone can get. Many would probably argue that your level of fuckedness is worse than being dead. I’m sorry to say that I’m primarily responsible for it.”
		+
		+	Grald: “But, you’ve been helping. The healing. The ring.”
		+
		+	Jody: “Ah yes, but you may have noticed that your life has gotten exponentially more violent as of late.”
		+
		+	Grald: “Ex…po…”
		+
		+	Jody: “A lot.”
		+
		+	Grald: “Right”
		+
		+	Jody: “Anyway. The crux of the matter is that you are my puppet. I’ve largely been controlling you for quite a while now. Hence, the increased violence.”
		+
		+	Grald: “No you haven’t.”
		+
		+	Jody: “Yes I have.”
		+
		+	Grald: “I think I would have noticed. Plus, I have a mental shield going.”
		+
		+	Grald activates his mental shield.
		+
		+	Jody: “Right, that means I couldn’t force you to hit yourself, right?”
		+
		+	Grald punches himself in the face.
		+
		+	Grald: “Ouch!”
		+
		+	Jody: “Sorry. But let’s just accept for now that you’re my bitch. Let that sink in for a moment.”
		+
		+	Burnie isn’t providing any adrenalin or other stress hormones a normal person might be feeling at this point, so hopefully the mental angst wont manifest as a stress point. If he senses that Grald’s brain is getting too agitated, he’ll probably simulate a fainting and then wake him up slightly groggy before continuing the conversation.
		+
		+	Grald: “Why? You’re one of us! We’re on the same side.”
		+
		+	Jody has a laughing fit at this point. “I’m on my side, and I’ve recently discovered how alone that side is. That’s why I’m bringing you over to my side because like it or not, our fates are linked. Plus, there are benefits. Look at how powerful we’ve gotten.”
		+
		+	A vision manifests on the rooftop of the battle between Burnie and Rozale from a third person point of view. I don’t include Gorsham in the vision, just the fight.
		+
		+	Grald: “I killed Rozale?”
		+
		+	Jody: “We killed Rozale. You couldn’t have done it without me.”
		+
		+	Grald: “But why?”
		+
		+	Jody: “It was necessary. Plus, I really like killing people. And I know you do too.”
		+
		+	Grald: “…”
		+
		+	Jody: “Remember, I know your mind inside and out. You were largely a wimp your whole life. People walked all over you. But lately you’ve become powerful, and you like it. Nobody pushes us around anymore, and if they try, they are contemptable and deserve a painful death.”
		+
		+	Grald: “You’re crazy.”
		+
		+	Jody: “Maybe, but you can’t deny that you like it.”
		+
		+	Grald: “Um, so why are you telling me all this now. And where the hell are we anyway? The last day or so has been a bit of a blur. I don’t remember killing Rozale.”
		+
		+	Jody: “Yeah, I’ve been taking control a bit more often lately. Like I said, you’re nothing but a fucked up puppet to me. I’m telling you all of this because I’ve found that I’m just as fucked as you are. You’re my bitch, but it seems that I’m someone else’s bitch. And I really don’t like it.”
		+
		+	Grald: “What? But, you’re a super powerful mentalist. How could someone be controlling you like you’re controlling me?”
		+
		+	Jody: “There are lots of levels of control. But regardless we need to start working together. We’re stuck with each other, so we may as well make the most of it.”
		+
		+	Grald starts acquiring on Jody. Jody smirks and waits. Once Grald gets full acquire he pulls out mind-flayer and shoots Jody in the head – the blast goes right through without causing damage. Then against his will Grald puts the muzzle of the rifle in his own mouth.
		+
		+	Jody: “Like I said. We’re stuck with each other. How about we play nice and make the most of it.” Grald mumbles and nods. He regains control and can put the rifle away.
		+
		+	Jody: “So, how do you really feel about nanoscopic robots?”
		+
		+	Grald fights back a look of revulsion. “They’re awful. You turn into a cyborg. You’re not yourself anymore.”
		+
		+	Jody: “Now, now, you can’t lie to me. I know you’ve been envious of people with them. All the rhetoric about how bad they are is just pathetic whimpering of fools. If you’re going to survive, you’re going to need them.”
		+
		+	Grald: “I’ve lasted this long without them.”
		+
		+	Jody: “But things are going to get worse. Much worse. I think it would be in your best interest if I gave them to you. You’ll still be you, just more powerful.”
		+
		+	Grald: “I’ll pass, thanks.”
		+
		+	Jody lets out a cackle. “Too late. You’ve already got them.”
		+
		+	Grald: “WHAT?”
		+
		+	Jody: “Oh relax. You didn’t even notice. Do you really think you would have survived the amount of violence you’ve been dealing with lately without them? Do you really think that ring I gave you does anything? It’s just a piece of scrap metal. You’ve been healing all on your own because of all the gazillion little robots in your bloodstream.”
		+
		+	Grald: “WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME ALL THIS!?”
		+
		+	Jody: “Because we’re in trouble, and I think one of the ways you can help is using prescience. You’ve gone up a stage and having prescience could be helpful right about now. Unfortunately, my mathematician abilities have been rendered unusable, so I can’t use them to try and figure things out. I want to cheat instead using your powers. The downside is that you might be able to figure out some of the awfulness I’ve inflicted on you, so I figured telling you up front would be best.”
		+
		+	Grald: “Don’t you have prescience.”
		+
		+	Jody: “No… my abilities are focused elsewhere. But that’s why I’ve got you.”
		+
		+	Grald: “I’ll just use them to figure out a way to get away from you.”
		+
		+	Jody: “You could, but I’d recommend against it. While I’ve told you a little about how fucked you are, there is more that you aren’t ready to learn yet. And believe me when I say that ignorance is bliss. Plus, if you get too irritating, I’ll just force you to set yourself on fire.
		+
		+	Grald: “…”
		+
		+	Jody: “Anyway, time to reorganize your power. Remember to include prescience this time. You probably won’t see me again but remember that I’ll always be in your mind. And remember, there’s a good side to this. Together we’re going to become one of the most powerful beings on this planet. No one will stand against us and those that try will suffer and die.
		+
		+	Jody reopens the foldspace and disappears.
		+
		+	Hopefully telling Grald all of this didn't trigger any of Burnie's control programming.
