The others are all arguing over the orb and I am tired and want to call them all whippersnappers.

[attackbrows]

Right. The proverbial orb-shaped elephant in the room. Welcome to my world.

[captainjacktoyou]

They think we might be able to fix this planet and make it healthy again somehow.

Also that giving the orb to an individual here is a good idea.

[attackbrows]

That orb should be in no one's possession. If there is anything more dangerous in this universe, it's the bitter taste of revenge from the opposition.

All we need is more time with the water supply. We're wasting our time dwelling on the probable.

[captainjacktoyou]

Only a few people are advocating for that, and they're not going to win that one. The second someone tries I am grabbing it and making the decision for everyone.

[ Jack will have no hesitation about that. None. He's made worse unilateral decisions. ]

Has this group ever captured the orb without touching it?

[attackbrows]

In practice? No. But there haven't been any previous stipulations about securing a perimeter around the orb. Think: Capture the Flag.

[ As long as no one from the immediate Ximilia crew touches it. They have at least a slither of chance at least reconciling the even bigger planetary elephant in the room. ]

But it will require some team effort. And if there's anyone who is too old for all this, it's me.

I don't think that will be possible this time, they think it's in the poisoned water. A few of the mechanical people are volunteering to go down there, but they know when they get it, that's it. Does it only react off of skin contact or can we put it in a bag or something?

You know I'd rather just finish this mission. But then I remember that our adventures have never been that simple.

[attackbrows]

It never is, old friend.

Grab the orb and we end up back on the station. Our best option is to contain it with as little contact as possible.

[captainjacktoyou]

If we have geniuses who think they can fix this planet's issues, they should be smart enough to figure a way to move it without touching it, right?

I wish I could fire people like at Torchwood. Just go on a firing spree.
