I would need help, yes. And you wouldn't be invited.

...Well if you do end up casting it I'd be interested in seeing whatever you manage to reel in.

But, uh, Nathaniel? Why are you opposed to the evacuation function? What does it do that's a problem?

[Since the other two options presented apparently have giant issues he's assuming the evacuation function has some gaping hole in it too.]

[Anya's spell sounds promising, but that can be addressed in a moment.]

The evacuation function is exactly what it sounds like. It stabilizes the Bastion for long enough for us to escape to the Skyway. It's the worst use of the resources we have, since we would be effectively abandoning the Bastion entirely.

[dontyoujustwish]

That doesn't sound like it accomplishes anything at all. We can already just leave if we want to.

[bastionpc]

Exactly, which is why I say we don't do it.

[dragonsorcsandwolves]

Why would a function like that even require so many Cores? It sounds like some kind of joke or trap on the part of whoever built this place.

[freedom_engineer]

Sounds similar to a quantum detonator. It's probably not so much an evacuation function but rather an area denial function. If we're going to lose the Bastion anyway, we may as well deny it to anyone else. Useful in war, not so much in times of peace.
