*On contact, the explosion rocks the chamber, replacing the green haze with light like a star's—the force emanates outward and tears away at the pillars that run the nuclear control systems*

Are you a target for either party?

@Legend

*The pillars collapse one by one, and massive gates crash down in sets of three, separating everything in the room with a grid of impossible walls*

@System

*The wall cuts off my approach and I bang on it, emitting potent radioactive data*

That's...
*Weakly falls backward against the antenna*
I'm coming, Cure.
*Drops my hand onto the stream, which is now pulsing more intensely than before, reporting the meltdown, and my data is pulled into the beam*

Nowhere anyone will know, but, I’ll wager, somewhere very important.

@GalaxyRaider

But in the context of this maze thing. It feels like we're getting nowhere.

*The infinite void of space surrounds us, packed with the brilliance of stars, nebulae, and galaxies visible wherever you look—a craggy, rocky path lies before us that splits into several directions, each route teeming with unknown viruses*
C-cure.

@Techspert

@GalaxyRaider

Can your techno wizardry detect this place's layout?

@Techspert

I can try. I didn’t really think about it.
