“You’re saying we’re already facing an end of the world situation,” Alexandria said, “And this is just accelerating the timetable.”

Yes.

“Yes.  Any measures we take are still vital.  They’ll help here, with this scenario, but if it never occurs, it will still help against the Endbringers.”

That is a very good point, yeah.

“Are we assuming the Endbringers are at the core of this end-of-the-world scenario?” Eidolon asked.

I do think they might be related somehow (especially if the threat comes via Noelle rather than Theo, though Jack has no known connection to Noelle besides Noelle being Crawler’s nominee), but that’s a dangerous assumption to make.

“Likely,” Alexandria said, “But let’s not rule anything out.”

“Provided this is really occurring,” the Doctor spoke.

“We can’t afford to say it’s not,” Legend said.  “You have precogs among your staff and customers?”

“Unreliable ones.”

“Some,” The Doctor answered.  “I can ask them about this end of the world scenario.”

Legend nodded.  “Good.  Eidolon, you want to try your hand at it?”

Oh yeah, he could just give himself the power of precognition, couldn’t he.

I’d like to learn what Eidolon’s limits are. Maybe he can only prepare so many powers per day?

“If my power lets me.  It only gives me what it thinks I need, not what I want.”

Oh… Oh, that is good. That is a really good power, both in practice and narratively.

Especially if the power is anything like my impression of the Dandelions, not really understanding humanity.
