Remember how I said that the longer you’re here, the more restless and dangerous they become?... I think you might have stayed well past your welcome.

@Multifarious

Then we should move as swiftly as we can.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*One dark figure appears in the mist, walking toward you with more vigor than the half-formed figures from before*

@Valiance

Should these apparitions be concerning?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Heavy mist comes into view, rolling in from down the corridor*

@Valiance

*Looks ahead and frowns*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

How many rooms do we have after this, again?

@Multifarious

Only one. And then the control room. Of course, I won't request that you participate if you do not wish to proceed.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

It might be more complicated because of our presence. This simulation probably wouldn't exist.

@Unhinged

Likely not, but who can say what it would have been instead? The more of us there are, the more likely it is that we cause an error.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

... Hm?

@Unhinged

I hadn’t realized how much this lab had deteriorated. You’ve both helped me a great deal today.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Snags a few more books from the shelf and glances through them before stashing them under my arm*
Alright. Just in case we need more evidence. We’re good to go now.

@Multifarious

*Starts walking in the opposite direction*
I’m very grateful to the both of you.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

If it got anything vital correct, it would be. But based on that, I don’t think there’s a need.

@Multifarious

Hm. Perhaps a self-audit is in order when we reach the control room.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Closes up the book*
So if we present this to Rythian and show him the falsities, it’ll show a hole in the system and should do one of those exception thingies?

@Unhinged

There is a high probability of that outcome. It may attempt to resolve the issue, but enough pressure should result in a self-contradictory state.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Some are, some wouldn’t be. This one is. Implications on what system?

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

I’m shocked there’s an accurate title in here, but almost nothing inside is right.

@Multifarious

Implications on the simulation system. It’s a non-living entity to be certain, but is full quarantine and destruction of the lab warranted?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Hmm... Zoey, this is Raw Time in Space. Tell me if anything sticks out to you.
*Hands the book to her*

@Multifarious

I assume the book titles are safe? And what implications would it have on the system if it were involved somehow?
