I see. Did I bring up my distaste for infohazards?

@Etcetera

You brought up your familiarity.

That’s one of the many reasons this lab is deprecated. Its containment mechanisms are deficient for information of this level of sensitivity.

It seems like it could slightly be modified to become a frightening weapon. I’m surprised it was just deprecated and not entirely decommissioned.

That would be a waste of the lab’s computational power, given the resources required to build it. Its successor has much more fine-grained controls for simulated realities.

@Etcetera

I don’t suppose you can be faulted for that. A disaster scenario like this isn’t easily predictable.

Hm...
*Runs my hand across the wall*
That... has a chance to work.

I may be able to configure this lab’s successor to analyze the ambient conditions and log files to simulate the past day of activity.

Effectively finding out who else has been here?

@Multifarious

Exactly. It may be too muddled to say for certain, but there’s a chance it will pick up on details we’ve missed. I can also configure it to ignore any data from your dimension entirely.

@Etcetera

That may come in handy. I’m concerned about the intentions of this person, though. Surely they were made aware of the situation like we were, yet they have elected to not come forward just yet.

@Multifarious

Would they have had to enter the simulation with us?

If they were in the control room, I assume Singularity would have known about them.

Maybe. I don’t want to assume anything about someone we know nothing about.

If we intend to resimulate today’s events, we should change locations to prevent further marring of the environment.

@Etcetera

We can. First thing’s first, I think we should talk to your sister.

*Nods*
I’ll open a portal outside the lab. We should leave the way we came.

Sounds good.

*Steps outside through the ruins of the five chambers and sends a location request; a few minutes later, a portal opens in front of me*
