Then lure them to a certain point whre we create a rift in space-time to suck them into oblivion?" The Arbiter sounded serious about the first one, but sarcastic about the second two. He pauses for a moment.

"A rift in space-time... How are our wormhole experiments going? Really? Oh, well. Sorry, that idea's out of the bag. Now, you make a good point. If we destroyed the EI the Pathogen would be worse than useless. The issue is that nobody knows where it is." "Well..." The Arbiter hesitates. "We have something that would work as a last chance gamble if the Pathogen become uncontrollable. In the days before this galaxy, there were two advanced races, on known as Dragonkind, or the Wyrms, and another known as Humanity. These two races were advanced enough to create devices that could alter the reality of space-time, to do what they thought would destroy the universe. These weapons were hidden, and kept under the safest of locks. But during one battle between the races, a device was accidentally set off, creating the universe we know now. All races were changed drastically from what they were, and all living organisms 'started over', with no memory of their former lives. But there was one, a great Wyrm scholar, who had predicted the device's activation. He had obtained for himself a priceless object known as an Elder Scroll. This object would allow him to keep his knowledge and personality, in exchange for his life and his freedom. When the device was set off, he used the scroll and became a god among the races of today. Our ancestors found him, in an artificial planet, floating in deep space. We give him company, in exchange for protection. He is all-knowing, and he warns us through dreams and visions in time of need. But he has told us that one of the devices set off by the ancient races is in his possession. In a last resort situation...we could reset the universe to destroy the Pathogen. But the cost would be all of our lives."
