Since this is what he was planning all along I don’t think you’re going to persuade Carol. Now would be the time to do something clever and trick Shanna and Xan into letting their guard down.
Actually, it wasn’t quite what he was planning. At first, he was just furiously trying to release the Five from their unintentional soul prison. We didn’t see any of his “become a god” stuff until after his breakdown and bounceback.
Remember, a lot of what went on with Arkerra and the Bubble was unintentional – he didn’t realize the sheer scope of what he’d done for a long time. What he initially THOUGHT he’d done was take an MMORPG and magick it into a futuristic, dynamic environment (perhaps with semi-sentient AI). What he ACTUALLY did was CREATE AN ENTIRELY NEW WORLD.
Brace yourself I think the comments are just going to go deeper in to Gallow’s Humour Territory before this is over (Judging by the comments after yours anyway)
I feel like this approach might have worked better for Shanna and Carol’s first confrontation than the one Shanna actually chose. We’ll see how well it works here.
Shanna didn’t realize HR had just snapped from the stress, at the time. She thought he was an emotionally abusive boss (which he was, admittedly, just unintentionally and only as a byproduct of the true issue). Having had time to absorb Carol’s words about how he was trying to become a god, having seen the result of his actions here, she’s realized Carol isn’t like an abused spouse, but … someone a lot more like herself than she realized.
Was HR wearing two pairs of undies? He yanked off a pair of underpants when he got in the tank, so Carol would have been seeing him unconscious and naked.
Get him some Chinese, to start.
And then some ambient music: Something relaxing but not too distracting.
Brian Eno’s “Music for Airports” is pretty calming. Massive Attack works, if you’re into chillout.
“He would … want me to CONTINUE THE PLAN NO MATTER WHAT!!!”
Shanna: *sigh* “Okay, new approach. Shut it all down before I plug you.”
Office romance is a helluva drug.
He would want me to git nekid and hook up to the life support and lower the tube and start fillin the fluid.
Now the topmost takes a much different *clears throat* climatic meaning…
Look at these great cat photos, probably.

He’d want me to put the lotion in the basket or else I get the paperwork again.

PAD THAI! BRING ME PAD THAI! SPIIIICCCCCYYYYY!
Actually, he prefers pad th-eye.
What would he want me to do? NEXT TIME HIRE A BETTER ASSASSIN!!!
First panel Shanna is giving advice to a-few-moments-ago Shanna.
Now I’m curious: Would Arkerra Shanna look like Fans! Shanna or like yet another Shanna?

Believe in the HR who believes in you?
Second phase! Everyone take positions!
Sometimes being evil and/or unsensitive helps.
“BANG!”
“Problem solved.”
HR is LUCKY they are not like that.
