Eires raised an eyebrow.

"Seriously, no shit?"

None whatsoever!

She's in enormous danger, and I worry the Entity will try and turn her on me. She'll listen to you, though. I need you to help me.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

You need to tell her the truth. Keeping it under wraps is just going to prolong all this tension and danger. Sure, she'll be shaken by it, and maybe she'll hate me, but I can't lie to her just because it's gonna hurt. It's what's right.

"Uh huh. I can see what I can do."

Eires frowned, taking another long drag off their cigarette.

Thank you...

Meanwhile, I need to finish off Operation Silver Ballet...

"I'm dying to know what that is but I can't shake something. How many of those planets actually supported life? Anything substantial, I mean."

Eh? Well uh...

-He skitters over his notes-

Well, none of them. Very few planets do. The pattern was pretty haphazard, though. Ice planets, desert planets, ocean planets. Some with atmosphere, some without.

"Like ok, ok, Fermi had a point, but out of eight entire planets apparently wholly consumed, none of them had any life worth chucking a satellite at, you're telling me this thing can take the form of people, to the point of deception, and it wants to eat us all. I follow what you're saying so far, but something doesn't add up here."

Eires held up a finger for each point, tapping them for emphasis as they spoke.

-yeesh dude, them teeth-

-He stared, blinking-

It... what are you saying? For something of that scale of consciousness, there's effectively no difference between a planet with dirt and slime, and a planet with four trillion sentients!

Eires shrugged, and nodded towards a spot behind him.

"You wouldn't stamp on those ants there if you could help it, right? Correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't seem to be the type of kid who took a magnifying glass to bugs in summer."

... Well, no. But I could step on one easily. And to take upon another layer of abstractationing, I'm member of a species that's slowly diluteriating the planet's delicate biosphere just in the course of living my life, something the ants can neither understand nor prevent.

If you can step on an ant without punishment, then the ant has a unspoken right to kill you back.

"Ok, put it another way. You don't jail someone because they have the ability to rob a convenience store. Sure, they're carrying a gun but they have a permit and a clean record. Am I making any sense?"

"And if it's smart enough to take on human form, did you just try talking to it?"

Eires paused for a moment.

"Look, I know I sound absolutely, uh, batshit crazy, but this is the sort of place where logic takes a backseat while Chaos takes the wheel. At home or literally anywhere else I'd be right on board with you, no questions asked, but this place doesn't play by our rules and going around, shooting off rounds into the dark is almost guaranteed to get you in even worse trouble than whatever you were facing before."

"Well. That's straightforward. I assume you have evidence that it is indeed appearing as her."

If I could modify my scanner to detect Boltzmann Particles, I could just point it at her and know for sure.
