So no. That’s a shame... I think I’m going to get a coffee, while we’re here.

Its importance lies in completing the model for 14's fabrication mechanisms, which may prove to be useful in other ways.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Can’t just apply the constant you learned to the newer lab?

@Multifarious

Part of the rationale behind 14’s deprecation was the fact that Lab 32 introduced a novel reality fabrication scheme that implements a different paradigm.

*Almost goes to take it off to look at it, but makes a face of realization and pats on the top of it instead*

@Multifarious

*Chuckles*
Even with the constant, the lab is still obsolete to its successor in virtually every factor.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

So this is a permanent thing?
*Flicks the brim of my hat*

@Multifarious

*Nods*
Consider it yours.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Hope the constant is worth it. Must be, if just knowing it grants new abilities immediately.

@Multifarious

Mm, it allows the deprecated lab to generate persistent material. I fortunately happen to still be connected at the moment.

*To Data*
And you never even warned me about this risk before going into it? Shame.

@Multifarious

*Smiles slightly*
If I outlined all the risks, I wouldn’t have lab assistants.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Oh yeah. Then you have two days left at most, given Data’s track record.

@Meta

That’s not entirely accurate.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

You seem adamant about that. But it could be just about anything.

@Multifarious

I’m hedging my bets.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*Looks at Data*
I’m not sure how much context to give before she reads it, really.

@Multifarious

It will likely be inaccurate and unpleasant.

*Picks up the letter and burns a line in the top of the envelope by running my finger across the paper*
This thing isn't going to summon me into some sort of infinite fighting universe, is it?

@Meta

Unlikely, but context may be helpful. I wouldn't start with the assumption that anything in that letter is true.
