We did come here to help. There are a lot of reasons to want to bring them down, even for us. If they’re here then they know who we are and we’ve made an enemy of them, now. And a person on the the controlling end of these simulations might have learned some of the same things you have that needs to be dealt with.

@Multifarious

*Nods*
That's a fair point. On that level, we do need to learn how much information the other party has access to.

You’d rather they escape than confront and subdue them?

@Multifarious

And then? Interrogate or kill them? My top priority is that you both remain unharmed rather than acquire additional information about this attack.

We could send her away, if necessary. The longer we wait, the more time this hypothetical person at the end of the rooms has to prepare or escape.

@Multifarious

If they escape, that would save us the confrontation. Preparation is a concern.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Is the room unsafe now that we've been through it?

@Multifarious

Not by nature, but if someone is controlling these rooms, they may attempt to hold her hostage.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

That would be the hope. How long should we wait?

@Multifarious

What alternative do we have to waiting? Leaving her would be unwise.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

That just depends on the damage. It doesn’t necessarily affect like, shock or anything like that.

@Multifarious

I hope that whatever she encountered was not that injurious.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Not so much more likely than anything else.

@Multifarious

Does your healing accelerate the process to regain consciousness?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

We have a passive atonement with life forces that amplifies healing, even when unconscious. It can even repair damage that would otherwise be incredibly lethal for normal people. So there’s no real telling if she took a huge beating or not until she wakes up to tell us.

@Multifarious

Is it most likely that a blow to the head knocked her unconscious?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I have a couple of ideas. The most simple is that she got into a physical conflict with the spirit manifested that she held off, but her wounds healed themselves before we got to see what kind of damage was done.

@Multifarious

I don't see any sign of a serious physical altercation, but it's a possible scenario.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Do we know how long that will be? I’m not even sure what caused it.

@Multifarious

That's what concerns me. I don't know what would cause this condition.
