>She takes a breath.
>"We can keep looking for other ways, and I will inform you if I find anything else with potential of course, but do not expect too much."
>An honest estimation, all things considered.
>And in the end, you agree with #deca.mare's general notion.
"I see. Then... let's look into the second one. Disassembly it is."
>#deca.mare nods.
>She tries to act neutrally as she does so, yet there are slight hints in her demeanour which tell you that your choice is a relief to her.
>Because whilst it may not be the perfect method that both of you have hoped for, it nevertheless seems to be the best compromise in your situation.
>"Very well. I will begin with the preparations..."
>Her smile widens again.
>"... after the break. We have talked too much about our work here already."
>You eat the rest of your bread and give her a hug.
"Good point."
>Just as you try to get into a more casual mood though, #deca.mare groans.
>You retract your arms and lean backwards to look her in the eyes.
"What's wrong, #deca?"
>She sighs, albeit out of notable annoyance rather than concern.
>"Nothing is wrong. But Discord happened. Again."
>#deca.mare rolls her eyes as she says that.
>And you almost do the same.
"Oh boy. What was it this time?"
>It takes #deca.mare a second to respond.
>"Another suggestion. And by far the worst I have heard so far."
>Well, with a prelude like this, you are almost hesitant to dig any further.
>Almost.
"That bad, huh?"
>#deca.mare grunts.
>"Outrageous. He... came up with an idea in regard to the material we use for the machines."
>This does not sound very spectacular so far.
>But you know Discord well enough to expect a crucial knack in the details.
>And since both #deca.mare and you are aware of Discord's tendencies, she gets right to the point.
>"He suggested to replace the entire material roster by... organic material."
>Hold on.
>You need a moment before you are able to point out the obvious.
"But... then it's not a machine any more."
>#deca.mare nods and grunts.
>"Precisely."
>Oh boy indeed.
>It may be one way to circumvent the problems with the machines, but is, as #deca.mare has already said, definitely the worst one so far.
>Sky Squall chimes in.
>"Wait, what does that mean?"
>She turns to the stallion.
>"Essentially, what Discord is trying to do here is to forego the usage of machines by... breeding an organism which changes the genome of Anon instead."
>The golden Pegasus is visibly irritated by the idea, yet you do not think that he grasps the scope of this approach.
>And he also says so himself shortly thereafter.
>"Now, I'm not an expert in this field, but... isn't that dangerous?"
>Short answer, yes.
>#deca.mare chooses the long version though.
>"More than you can imagine. It is functionally possible in theory, exactly like his other proposal, but the involved risks are... beyond measure."
