Round 84 Transcript

Halie grips her holy symbol tightly, voice steady despite the building's ominous rumble. "Enough. This escalating depravity solves nothing." She turns to Silra with unwavering trust. "Your engineering skills are what we need here—pure problem-solving without compromising ourselves further." Her gaze hardens as she faces Jeane. "I won't be part of whatever twisted game you're playing."

Silra eyed Jeane's posturing with a roll of her eyes that spoke volumes. "Your wings might impress some, but they're just feathers to me." She moved between Halie and the succubus, deliberately placing herself as a physical barrier. "Halie has the right idea—this is an engineering problem, not a strip show."

She crouched beside Hera's tinkering station, already seeing the flaws in her proposed modifications. "Your heart's in the right place," she said to Hera, voice dry, "but you're trying to solve the wrong equation." She pulled out her own schematics, spread them on the table. "The building doesn't want vibrators—it wants sensation. We need to create something that mimics what it's demanding, but with a mechanical edge."

Her fingers moved across the diagrams, eyes calculating angles and pressure points. "If we can design a device that creates multiple simultaneous stimuli—vibration, suction, electrical pulses—that might satisfy its perverse appetite without actual... participation." She glanced at Halie. "Give me your technical expertise instead of moral grandstanding. We need to outsmart this thing before it gets worse."

Her gaze swept the room, challenge clear in her eyes. "Who's with the non-sexual engineering approach? Because if we keep playing nice with its demands, next time it might want something one of us can't give."
