No, containing them would only make them more willing to betray us for our enemies. If we are going to bargain with the Mastery, I suggest hiring an inside man to tell us what is going on, so that if they try to sell us out to Jonathan or the Pillars, we'll know about it.

Furthermore, I have a lot of my own resources which we can use for our further success in this plan (besides already, the Atlantica Ultima ship). I.R.O.N.I.C, which I used to lead as director, was once an extremely widespread organization throughout reality, before I decommissioned and dissolved it in early-mid 2019. I still have command over a wide variety of ex-I.R.O.N.I.C soldiers, officers, and scientists, and often group them into a new group which I call the Trident Foundation. It's nothing like what I.R.O.N.I.C was, it's more of a surreal research organization, but I guess I can make a militia out of them for this once, in times of great need.

So, the Trident Foundation does have quite a lot of technology we can use. The Atlantica Ultima is just one ship, we've constructed a whole fleet. Also, I have my signature weapon, the trident. I can use it for water-based abilities. Now, water based abilities are actually quite harmful to the Pillars, because they are made of a clay like substance called Pillarium, being in contact with water for extended periods of time damages them significantly. That said, the scientists from the Trident Foundation also discovered that fire is harmful to Pillarium. Should the Pillars get involved, I would recommend we use mostly fire and water based abilities to attack them. Earth based abilities would do nothing, as their clay like Pillarium is pretty earth-like to begin with. Air based abilities wouldn't do any more damage to Pillars than they would to other entities.

As for Jonathan himself, he's very mysterious and thus my Trident Foundation scientists can't exactly discover any specific weakness to him. They did some tests on regular apples, but the results those experiments hailed have to be taken with a big drain of salt, as Jonathan is certainly no ordinary apple, and might not even truly be an apple at all. I'd suggest doing more reconnaisance on Jonathan so my scientists at the Trident Foundation can get a better idea of him for more testing. Needless to say, we aren't ready yet.
