[A loud ringing in Minamimoto’s ears gave way to silence.  The pain he already had in his right shoulder had been intensified and he held onto it tightly with his left arm; hopefully that wound hadn’t opened up again.  He felt the need to vomit, but he took a few deep breaths and suppressed the sensation and pried open his eyes to find himself in

[He glared at the face staring at him.]

What're you looking at?

[prayforprey]

Honestly? I've no idea.

I'll tell you what you're looking at. You're looking at perfection! I'm more perfect than 8128!

The Nicomachus? What do Asteroids have to do with perfection?

[leo_cantus]

Zetta stupid! Not Asteroids! Numbers! Perfect, beautiful numbers! 8128! 2 to the power of six times 2 to the power of seven minus one! It's perfect!

[prayforprey]

... If it's so perfect, why do you need to subtract one?

Do you need to subtract one, too?

[leo_cantus]

You don't get it, do you? If you don't subtract the one it will be prime. The minus one is what makes it perfect!

[prayforprey]

A negative doesn't seem that perfect to me.

[leo_cantus]

Stupid hectopascal! Perfect numbers can't be negative!

[video]

[prayforprey]

Precisely why I say it isn't perfect. Nor are you.

[leo_cantus]

Peh! Believe what you want! A 000 like you couldn't possibly be able to see what it means to be perfect!

[video]

[prayforprey]

No one ever can. It isn't in a being's nature.

[video]

[leo_cantus]

Numbers can! And if you can understand numbers, you can understand perfection!

[video]

[prayforprey]

Even numbers fail and go beyond the premise of reality. You can't simply go on forever; some inevitable blockade will stop you.

[leo_cantus]

Fail? Numbers!? Numbers don't FAIL!
