Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*A series of shields engage and surround me with a purple force as I step into the sphere*

@Nimda

*Blinks and does a double take toward you as you do*
Eh? Wait. That’s a bit rash, don’t you-
*Total darkness comes over you as you feel yourself whisked briskly through a void*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

That does appear to be the case.
*Attempts to separate a chunk from the rest*

@Nimda

*Contact with the sphere causes the aura at that point to flare, and the material surrounds and pulls you in*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Sends a probe to scan the ball's material*

@Nimda

*The material itself seems to be an odd coagulation of energy that rests stable*
Nothing else is happening.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

That's true. Be mindful of any strange behavior.
*The device increases its wave emission output*

@Nimda

This stuff it’s outputting feels funny.
*Beams of light eject from my hands and into the ball as well, and it eventually reaches a point where its radiation intensity grows no more*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

More so giving you the choice to risk an adverse event.

@Nimda

I’d rather something happen than nothing. Nothing happening means we hit a dead end here.
*Holds my hands out into the radiating aura like I’m warming up at a campfire*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

The line between artificial and natural isn't necessarily clear-cut. Would you like to charge it to capacity?

@Nimda

Oh, you want me to help speed things along?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

It appears to be storing more energy than it emits. I'm curious as to whether the emission rate will accelerate.

@Nimda

*Hovers around near its surface, looking at it closely*
Is it manmade?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Do you recognize this substance yet?

@Nimda

Not in the slightest. But it’s really cool!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I’d like to maximize the information we can acquire while still minimizing our risk.
*The device now emits low-power waves across the length of the substance*

@Nimda

*Watches with an enamored look as waves slowly cause the moon-sized body’s spherical shape slowly becomes apparent, its previously intangible shape made apparent but a gradually growing more radiant*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Where do you expect to find them?

@Nimda

I want to retrace their steps. Whether that means that learning something about this object gives info, or if it’s something that you can go inside, somehow. Whatever it is.
