<Snipped quote by Session>

*Does little to resist, almost seeming to have a supremely delayed reaction to your action in itself*
... Huh?

<Snipped quote by N Mity>

I'll explain later. This could be the only chance we get.
*Separates the two life forces and traces the movement of the black particles to their source on you*

<Snipped quote by Session>

*Nothing seems fully committed to anything material. The force in question actually seems to be much more rooted in the ethereal*

<Snipped quote by N Mity>

*Checks for any area of higher concentration in either of our bodies*

<Snipped quote by Session>

*The intensity fluctuates wildly but is on average evenly distributed across out entire bodies with no distinguishable features*

<Snipped quote by N Mity>

*Takes several steps away and looks to see whether there's any pathogenic exchange between the two of us*

<Snipped quote by Session>

*There is nothing to read*

<Snipped quote by N Mity>

Alright, now we're starting to get somewhere.
*Cracks my knuckles and the points are replaced with fading trails indicating the paths of each particle's movement, muddling the resolution of the images but enhancing their temporal information*

<Snipped quote by Session>

*The energy of the force seems to manifest with a very short lifespan, each dying before a new one replaces it and repeats the process in rapid succession*

<Snipped quote by N Mity>

*Separates the black force in each of us from the rest of our life forces, first looking for any other anomalies, and then observing its movement and behavior and comparing them both*

<Snipped quote by Session>

*It acts as though its consuming other life forces as it permeates itself, and as its motion is outlined and analyzed, it can be made out to be fluctuating in the exact same manner as a flame would*

<Snipped quote by N Mity>

*Separates the life forces by their nature, including the body's various systems, foreign viral agents, and mental energies to observe how the black force interacts with each category*

<Snipped quote by Session>

*It doesn't seem to interact with any of the former in a vacuum but ravenously eats away at the latter*

<Snipped quote by N Mity>

*Projects the mental energy force across the body and tracks the rate of burning as it applies to different body parts*

<Snipped quote by Session>

*This variable seems to not influence the rate of anything that is happening*
You seem to-
*Coughs*
Be deep in th... In thought.

<Snipped quote by N Mity>

I'm about to be a whole lot more focused. The good news for you is that your body's fine.
*Changes the view to that of spheres of influence, triggering a hazy, liquidy aura that replaces the movement of particles where more concentrated regions become thicker, deeper, and more opaque, and looks for a correlation between the burning mental energy and its proximity to more concentrated black energy*

<Snipped quote by Session>

*The correlation appears to be exactly what you would expect- The volume of the former has no influence on the burning, but the "surface area" over which it occupies does have a positive correlation*

<Snipped quote by N Mity>

*Sits down, crosses my legs, and closes my eyes, folding my palms together and extending my middle and index fingers, as well as my thumb*
Hey you, if this kills me, give this to the IA. I've got a transmitter you can use.
*Retrieves a notepad from my toolbag and scribbles down some notes before taking a deep breath and starting to separate my own energies within myself, point by point, isolating those burning to the left from those untouched to the right*

I'm Prism... do I know you from somewhere?

<Snipped quote by Interface>

@Memory

Name's Ben... say... how could you help us in any way that is not suspicious at all ey?

<Snipped quote by Memory>

No, not really, Just passing through...

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

Why does an offer of help has to be suspicious? I guess some cautiousness is valid, but i was merely asking who you are looking for, perhaps i have seen them in passing...
