[Filtered to Chaos | Excluding Sigma]They're two points ahead of us now, but it doesn't sound like things are going smoothly over there. If Chaos has gone and screwed something up outside of the battlefield's boundaries, that calls into question just how much these gods are capable of despite what they say. Really, it's been a guessing game until

I'm afraid I don't share your confidence. I don't like these new Mannequins operating outside Cosmos territory. What if they find a way to enter our rooms? I don't much care for the idea of being killed in my sleep.

Sigma's a wild card. From what I've seen, he's pursuing his own agenda.

I'd heard there were more of them lately... is it really that bad?

Mm. [A nod] I got that much. I just found it hard to tell if he's a liar or just has his head too far up his ass, personally.

Not yet. But I find it always pays to expect the worst. Sigma's a good example. Don't underestimate him. People that overconfident don't live long unless they can back it up.

Agreed. Whatever Chaos is trying to do, I have the feeling we're still on our own for the most part.

[She nods again] Trust me, I know better than to call someone's bluff when it counts. I don't doubt that he's dangerous.

[Snake scoffs] I'm not surprised. It's clear that treating us as pawns is standard procedure for him.

Mm. It sounded like he might have been about to explain before he was cut off. There's really no telling with him, though.

If there's something that can oppose both him and Cosmos, I want to know about it.

Hard to say, but anything's possible at this point. For all we know, there could be a third force at work here.

Interesting possibility. If there is, why would it choose now to intervene?

Opportunity? Or the lack of it.

Or maybe Chaos has gone and accidentally screwed himself over with whatever he did, after all.

I wouldn't put it past him. He certainly does seem to be incompetent.

Mm. The only thing... is that it doesn't fit for his mistake to suddenly cause this increase in Cosmos forces. Unless that's a separate issue entirely.
