Its our world, not really-we’ve had this conversation before.
A strange one too. I guess we should start searching for data.

Okay. I can do that.
<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>
What can you get out of this thing before I go in?
<Snipped quote by Server>
“Go in”?
<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>
Into the lone server. The rest of this place's network is completely dead.
<Snipped quote by Server>
Oh. Well, I’ll have a peak real quick.
<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>
Go for it. Let me know if you sense any other machines while you're at it.
<Snipped quote by Server>
*Steps away from the hole in the wall and up to the computer, and takes a moment to utilize my senses for other machines like you suggested*
<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>
*The lone terminal appears to be connected to the reactor itself and exerts a pressure unlike any of the other devices so far*
<Snipped quote by Server>
Looks like this is it.
*Probes it with an initial action to see what it displays*
<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>
*It returns a protocol error, requesting an external digital zone to render*
<Snipped quote by Server>
Immediate stumper. What’s this?
<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>
These old things don't maintain their own networks. You have to hook one up yourself. But I was sort of hoping you could get around that.
<Snipped quote by Server>
I can just do that, I guess. But that’s so weird.
<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>
Part of it's safety. You want to keep these things as far from networks whenever you can.
<Snipped quote by Server>
I’ll be darned if I connect it to anything important though, just in case.
*Summons a small black box and sets it at my feet, then connects the terminal to a new local network*
<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>
*The two establish a successful connection and begin negotiating a shared cyber world*
Especially not connected to the larger net.
<Snipped quote by Server>
…
*Simply observes this development to see if the conditions evolve*
<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>
*The negotiation completes and generates the world, but the terminal builds out a much denser environment than it originally predicted in the handshake and transmits complex but apparently meaningless data structures to your device*
<Snipped quote by Server>
Why’s a computer in a place like this behave like this?
