*The droid enters without any resistance and is immediately met with a lighted canyon interior, but it fails to send a signal back out of the ravine*

@Memory

*It’s eye flashes blue a few times, and it independently skirts the top of its permitted skyline, continuing to follow a path to the last coordinates it was given to the object*

@GalaxyRaider

*It eventually comes across a glass cantilevered structure built into the canyon's side, supported only by diagonal structure beams beneath and itself flat with a boxy design and a curved outer viewing window*

@Memory

*The eye flashes once again a few times in rapid succession, and then emits a beam of light from its eye that flashes on and off rapidly while staring at the structure, analyzing the density, molecular structure and strength of the material itself*

@GalaxyRaider

*The structure abides by typical architectural principals but consists of reinforced versions of each material used in its construction, although none exotic*

@Memory

*The droid floats toward the structure in a straight line, and upon reaching the point of nearly touching the wall, it blinks forward, disappearing and reappearing in the same instant on the other side of the wall*

@GalaxyRaider

*On crossing the wall's border, the bot encounters a similar pull to when it entered the canyon, although with less intensity, and it finds itself in an observation room overlooking the canyon filled with natural light filtering in from above, and the room itself dotted with several statues in varying poses*

@Memory

*It floats slowly in a controlled path toward the pull as it scans the room*

@GalaxyRaider

*The statues themselves depict a masked warrior in a plethora of poses, holding an assortment of weapons—the observation room has a number of corridors branching from its central viewing chamber*

*Turns to look at you silently and raises my arm in a sheepish, uncertain wave*

@Audacious

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

<Snipped quote by Malevocholy>

Wait, so if you're guiding us there and won't even let us go directly, can you at least tell us what's so significant about this world we're going to? We don't really have time to waste if it ends up being a rabbit hole.

@Legend

Intruders!?

*A spear materializes in my hands and I point it at you*

Down.

*Turns to Isis*

It's Dynamo's, so probably where you're looking for.

…
*Raises my arm with the energy blade manifested and slashes through your infected arm without taking too long to question it, the heat from the energy immediately cauterizing in the same motion as the slice to prevent further blood loss from this*

@Galaxy Raider

Shinji:
*yelps out from the pain*

God damn... I forgot what it felt like to lose an arm. Thank you.

*my suit regenerates a now non-infected arm*

Thats better. I'm back and ready to fight.

*The steam rapidly expands within the particles, erupting with violent energy*
Maybe a little.
*It begins to rain, but each droplet, upon touching your flesh, shoots down like a bullet*

@System

*Smirks, as the amaranthine particles currently holding each water particle ripple from your water's attempt to escape, and begin to grow smaller, compressing the water particles with each passing second*

Shinji: enough.

*A flash nearly impossible to register with the human eye slashes through Abels hand, lopping it off his arm and causing the orbs to weaken in strength. Suddenly, your Argus suit gives you a near double boost in power*

Shinji: *speaks to abby telepathically*

This is your chance, break out with the knife and hit him hard!

@Yatagarasu

*Lurches my head like doing a spit take*
You can get to dad's world!!?

@souleaterfan320

*My form becomes streams of running water, infused with the Argus as they move in perfect laminar flow, appearing still and frozen in the air but moving deadly quickly, shredding anything they touch*
Can do!
*Three blades of ice, headed by the knife, spear through you in the blink of an eye, and then further saw outward to shred your body to pieces*

@Legend

*The instant Dark says the word "down" I de-materialize the spear and look sheepish*

Ah, yeah, I guess I would have been aware of enemies being here sooner. Sorry.

*I bow slightly at Violet and Isis*

@Legend

Don't lie to me, him having a child is impossible. Dynamo's partner isn't able to interbreed and she would kill him if he had a child with someone else.

@Malevocholy

It's, uh, no big dealio. Thanks.

Look, I wasn't born the normal way but I'm not lying! I don't do that, never ever.

@Yatagarasu

It’s not a biological relationship, as I understand it. But why do you know so much about her dad?

@Audacious

Are you a clone of someone?

*Looks to Violet*

Adopted? I suppose I should have thought of that first, but I never would have guessed he'd adopt.

*Looks between the three of you and opens my mouth to say something, then closes it again*
