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

@GalaxyRaider

*The terminal only displays the schematics for the three viruses rampaging through the city until the rabbit-shaped goliath falls and unleashes an EMP-like blast, cutting the camera feed*
...
*Pulls up three different call lines at once, one routed to Tempo, one to Melody, and one to X; each line repeatedly goes dead, and I immediately hit redial when it does*

[Galvanize]

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

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

@Valiance

Oh!
*smiles*
Then I will ensure you are satisfied!

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

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

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

I see. A miracle substance, if you will.

@Legend

Yeeeah, I guess you can call it that.

@Techspert

*Slams my fist on the desk*
How inconvenient...
*Scans the recovery bay for any sort of access point*

[System]

<Snipped quote by System>

Praxic Inferus! Brimstone Shatterblast!
*flies higher into the air and slams down into the virus, shortly after a huge tornado of the red and black fire forms*

@Spiritblitz

*One of the towers impales the oversized hare, the elemental advantage slicing through its figure like butter, while the firestorm eats away at its outer form and sets the wooden spire ablaze*
That's it!

[Legend]

<Snipped quote by Legend>

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

@Valiance

Water has significant research value. If it were inert, its value would be immeasurable.

[Valiance]

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Oh!
*smiles*
Then I will ensure you are satisfied!

<Snipped quote by Legend>

@Galvanize

We'll head outside. Don't want to wake the sleepy one if we can help it, and we'll probably need the space.

[Legend]

<Snipped quote by Legend>

@Galvanize

I look forward to seeing it applied. Perhaps we can both learn something.

@Legend

It was also rare, in my early years.

[Galvanize]

@Legend

Me too! Let me know how the results go!

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

@Valiance

I agree!

@GalaxyRaider

Why won't anyone pick up..?
*Hits redial on the three lines again, my hands shaking and hitting end call on one*
Where's Tempo? What is going on??

[Legend]

<Snipped quote by Legend>

It was also rare, in my early years.

@Valiance

Was it unnecessary to sustain life?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Me too! Let me know how the results go!

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I agree!

@Galvanize

Certainly. I owe you that much.

[Galvanize]

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

Certainly. I owe you that much.

@Legend

I would hate to see you suffer and not fully recovered!
*smiles warmly*

@Techspert

*Walks over and puts a hand on your shoulder*
Calm down. We’ll get to the bottom of it. I can’t speak for Melody or X at the immediate moment, but it seems there’s a big attack going on. If Tempo found out like we just did, he likely got involved in that somehow. So there’s one lead.
*Goes back to investigating the pod*
I’m trying make sure we can verify who was in here and how recently but there’s no trace of that that I can find.

@System

*yells and the flames get more intense*

[Legend]

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*smiles warmly*

@Galvanize

*Chuckles*
Then ensure your fight is distanced enough to protect me.

[Valiance]

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

@Legend

It was necessary. That’s why it was valuable.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I agree!

@Galvanize

Whenever you’re ready. Gear up if you fight equipped, but I’m ready to go.

@Legend

Oh! Of course!
*skips to the entrance to the base*
Watch, if you want!

@Valiance

How do you fight?

@GalaxyRaider

*Puts my hands on my knees, shaking*
Why was the lab open?
*Flashes a look back to the terminal*
How did you log in to the PC?

[Legend]

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Oh! Of course!
*skips to the entrance to the base*
Watch, if you want!

@Galvanize

I intend to.
*Stands at the entrance, but closes the door to prevent the cold from waking Akora*

@Valiance

Sufficient enough supply to survive, no?
