Oh if also the shady events that happened inside Ktisis wouldn't question Hermes's character and integrity. Wiping the memory of a Convocation member with a machine that's apparently not within the law, from what Emet mentioned earlier when he heard about it?

But oh no, Hermes-senpai doesn't like us and we """"need"""" him for a haphazard "solution" that we know is not definitive and that will involve countless sacrifice. Oh no, there's no way he could be forced to cooperate and share his knowledge. Yeah, I guess we'll just let him brood while the world burns.
We're not trying to prove our case against Herrmes as Hermes already sided with Meteion.

So because she couldn't think of a way herself, we should assume that the Convocation of Fourteen, the most brilliant minds of the time couldn't have either?
How do you get to that interpretation of my post? Theodric made a statement that I felt was not backed up the way he stated it. Read his post again, especially the phrase "by virtue of" and how he connects Venat's decision to the idea of there being viable alternative.

There's nothing to be done, he's the only one who knows what Dynamis is weak against....except...he's not...and the scene just before this one showing us how to read memories is one we're clearly not supposed to think about after the fact.
If you feel that is Hermes' only potential contribution, I can see where you're coming from, but I'm not making that determination.
