That's because you're so negative Pine Tree. Anyway the good news...for you.... turns out that your life force isn't enough to get this thing off us so we won't have to sacrifice you....yet anyway.

The bad news is....your life force isn't enough to get this thing off us so we're going to have to find something more powerful and that's going to take a bit. Which means we're stuck like this. ...which is going to get real boring real quick so I hope you like working under pressure!
