"Maybe, But look, Each mass is running out of energy, since his lower arm is covered, the Mutalist has been overtaken, the Helminth can be killed with some more of this stuff.."
"I think I have an unused Lens prototype... should be strong enough to hold it."
Ceres walks to the back of the ship, coming back with a miniature Tower-lens that if full-sized, would be used to focus energy to a fine point.
"Should be strong enough to hold for a while, but we need to act fast."
Ceres hands the others thicker versions of the metal plates.
"Take as much as we can, and use it all on the Helminth once this is done.."
Its clear the Mutalist is slowing down, as it writhes less and the area of living tissue is becoming smaller.
On closer inspection, the game is played on a 7x7 Grid, as the game progresses, stones, once surrounded by four opposing stones or cornered by two, is removed. Once an area has been closed off, a stone can no longer be placed there, as shown by dark gray stones placed where stones are removed, slowly shrinking the area. This time the game ends in a tie, both players have the same amount of stones on the board, with no possibility of either being a clear victor. The two clear the board.
One picks up a multi-colored stone, Dark Silver on one side and golden on the other.
"Sun or Moon?"
The other replies with "Moon," the stone is flipped, and it lands on the golden side. He who flipped the stone moves first.
