*shrugs*
It’s the nature of our beast.

@Galvanize

I enjoy that nature. Not based in kin, but I share a bit of that too.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I assume you expected a hub of activity rather than a lounge?

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

How did they acquire the fluid?

@Legend

That is exactly what I expected.

@Legend

From what I recall, it was originally a highly unstable and volatile substance that not only could heal persons rapidly, but could also destroy them just as fast. It’s properties were also very malleable in the sense that it could be engineered to provide other supports such as antidotes and even act as a repellant for fires! There was more, but I forgot what they were.

@Valiance

Would you gift me in a friendly battle through combat?

*Walks over to it, and thoroughly analyzes it*
No way Tempo is inside if it's disabled, is there?

@GalaxyRaider

Let's find out.
*Swings the door open, revealing a lit room, the terminal still logged in with news coverage of the mutant virus incident on a projected screen in the corner, and an empty navi recovery chamber on the other side of the room*

@Galvanize

I usually don't do it for free... But I like your spirit, Avis!

@Valiance

Then how much?

[System]

<Snipped quote by System>

*in a seamlessly easy movement, I launch into the air*
How about we prevent it from regenerating then!?
*I hover as my body begins to be engulfed in an intense flame that is red and black*

@Spiritblitz

Good call, if you can pull it off!
*Hits the ground and runs back to your previous position*
Rhythm, extension chip in: Wood Tower Plus!
*Hits the ground with my palm, resulting in three enormous wood pikes erupting from the ground, slowly moving toward the virus one at a time, with the previous spike retracting as the next one bursts from below*

@Techspert

*Follows you in, taking in the scene, then instinctively making my way to the terminal*
Rhythm? Is this new news?

[Valiance]

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Then how much?

@Galvanize

Nothing, as log as we both are satisfied at the end.

@Valiance

Given the last encounter, it may have rapidly moved beyond what you had hoped for. Had we not succeeded.

@Galvanize

I see. A miracle substance, if you will.

@GalaxyRaider

*Walks up to the empty chamber, as if I didn't hear you*
Dad...

@Legend

Maybe. I wasn't overly impressed with the show he put on, and he gave me the feeling he was putting in an effort to be intimidating.

*Looks up from the terminal after a moment at the chamber in realization*

@Valiance

Given that I would like to avoid additional setbacks in my recovery, I consider his attempt a success.

@Legend

You gave me water. I wouldn't have let him hurt ya.

*Looks up from the terminal after a moment at the chamber in realization*

@GalaxyRaider

*Hits my knees, my eyes darting across the chamber for any trace*
Where did he go? What's going on?

[Legend]

@Valiance

*Chuckles*
A low standard for protection, but I'll accept it.

@Techspert

*Refocuses my attention back on the terminal, hoping to glean info on who the last person to access it was*

@Legend

You clearly don't value water highly enough, then.
