delusional reality is still reality.

Not at all. In fact the very phrase "delusional reality" is an oxymoron.

delusion: n. an idiosyncratic belief or impression that is firmly maintained despite being contradicted by what is generally accepted as reality or rational argument, typically a symptom of mental disorder.

reality: n. the world or the state of things as they actually exist, as opposed to an idealistic or notional idea of them.

Get the picture?

I can see this turning into a philosophical debate very quickly if we don't just end it right here. :P

who says an oxymoron can't be real? delusional reality is reality in the mind of the delusional one, and is therefore reality. whether or not it is generally accepted as reality is a different matter.

I didn't say an oxymoron couldn't be real... although to say that an oxymoron can be accurate shows me that you have no idea what the word means...

I merely pointed out the flaws in your argument with a careful application of a standard English dictionary.

However if you are implying that, say, Bree or Tachyon are the ones who are delusional, I completely agree with you. They are delusional for believing that they can escape Op just by throwing toys and minor distractions at her.

Our eyes are everywhere. We will not be distracted.

Sphinx :smt049 you back dear.
And that's coming from reality.

Isn't it reassuring to know that The Order stands for that which is real.
Isn't it even more reassuring to know that the opposition is lost in delusions.

It is impossible to see the end when one can not even face the now.
