"You who have been subsumed— angels, humans, and demons— break free from the shackles of corruption and destroy your tormentor!  I insist."

Create spears of iron, coated in acid, and send them flying at the Plague Lord using energy manipulation with as much momentum as possible.

Can we manipulate the nearby plague nanites with our holy Will? Spoof the signals that guide them?

If possible, bend nearby plague nanites to our will.

We should also keep the acid going as it seems to have no defense against it.

Should we try to gas it, or does that seem like a waste of time?

Acid would probably work better than the spears.  A corrosive gas could be effective.

What about covering the spears in the acid?

[Init:17 vs. 31]

[Overpowpres:35 vs. 32]
An explosion of pain strikes you from within your skull. Strange screams from vocal chords burned ages ago. Ozone and stinking ichor assault your nose. You struggle to keep you wits about you about -- cities with foreign architecture dissolve before your eyes. Lights fade from alien worlds, snuffed out by an overwhelming tide of darkness--

--the Plague Lord closes the distance. Screams fill your radio headset--

[||||||||||||....](12/16]
[|||||||||||||||||||||...] (20/24)

[Material Gather:9-5 vs. 30]
--dropping to the ground to manipulate the iron therein -- your concentration falters as the Plague Lord grabs at you with razor-tipped tentacles. Your shield hisses as a swarm of appendages grab and rip at your protection. It forces you up and back into the sky, away from the earth and its plentiful supply of iron.

[Silicon Manipulation:21]
[Attack Rollv/avoid:5-5 vs. 25]
--particles of microfine glass send patterns of light flashing all around you as you rise into the air-- then a storm of them strike. You're surrounded by a swirling, hissing cloud of glass. The hard light shield holds as you struggle to pull yourself away from the creature--more and more form as the cloud presses in.

[Plague Control:13-2 vs. 35]
[Attack Rollv/avoid:10 vs. 25]
[Information: 40]
As you attempt to reach out with your willpower and take control of the Plague Nanites -- to no real avail. It only draws your attention away from evading the enveloping cloud of silicon that rips at your shield. Another crack forms as the generator struggles to keep up with the pressure exerted on it. The machinery feels hot on your chest. The AI is working overtime, and the reactors are struggling to keep up with the power output. But the technology holds. For now.

An infodump drops into your mind -- feedback from the strained connection. You divert your attention--

The creature gathers its will about itself. You attempt to interrupt it-- but it's too late. The dust storm drops, your shield falling just in time for you to witness many of the laser blasts you managed to land on the Plague Lord heal. A rictus grin splits the monster's face -- and it rapidly closes the distance between the two of you.

This thing is on another level.  Should we try to lure it closer to the ground?

We should try to lure it away from the front line, we should also start considering nuking it, but we should go back to the acid first.

Descend and try to lure it down so that our allies can help.  Try to knock it down if it doesn't follow.  If our allies are too busy, try to lure it away from the front lines.  If it catches us, spray it with acid and then escape.

[40 vs. 21]
You cut the process in your wings that give you lift--and drop like a rock, right through the storm and into the crater below. The Plague Lord follows you into the depths of the earth. It roars in savage fury as you escape with easy grace.

Just before you hit the ground, you switch them back on, alighting in the rubble and ruin of the once great Holy City. The Plague Lord drops to the ground in front of you--

Its many mouths split into a grin.

But so do your's.

"I surrender." You state, lifting your hands. "Completely and utterly."

Good thinking.  As for a question...

"What was the Great Disconnect?"

We must stall until the trap can be activated.
