Oh.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

That’s not a good deal.

@Ignacious

It's all I have.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

You're clearly desperate. Could be telling us whatever we want to hear.

@GalaxyRaider

I hate making enemies...
*Swipes my thumb across my index finger and both Tempo and Rhythm freeze in place, replaced with washed out versions interrupted by a horizontal line of distortion that runs vertically up their form every few seconds*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Uh huh. And you know what I have to ask when you say that.

@GalaxyRaider

You saw what happened to the others. I need it now.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

How about solutions? I'm not about to give up the only lead I have to fix people I care about for just answers, because a stranger shows up and demands what we've worked to find.

@GalaxyRaider

I can give you your solutions... after I have those programs.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Why?

<Snipped quote by Meta>

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Oh,
*looks to Isaac*
is that a pretty reasonable trade?

@Ignacious

*Huffs*
Long story...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

You can have them when we're done.

@GalaxyRaider

A trade... I’ll trade you answers.
*Steadies on arm against my thigh, and holds up my index finger on my other hand, projecting a translucent rhomboid crawling through a rotation*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*Calmly*
Why?

@GalaxyRaider

They don’t—belong to you.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Do you need help?

@Ignacious

I need those programs.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

It could have—

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Who are you?

@Webmaster

*Shakes my head*

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*stares in bewilderment*

@Ignacious

*Takes the pause as an opportunity to focus on breathing, as voxels continue to stretch and warp around me*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Well, into the fray once more.

@GalaxyRaider

*Materializing in a matrix of voxels, hits the ground on my knees and elbows with an inelegant thud*
No... you need to stay here.
*Heaves between every word and strains to stand under the warping and twisting surrounding space, as if the net itself were rejecting my presence*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

What is going on?

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

I can always access my champion form, but this is a different version? maybe permanent? I have no idea anymore.

@Ignacious

*They shoot a beacon upward from the center of the triangle, which blinks out in the net's skybox*

<Snipped quote by Server>

I'll leave it up to Cure, then. Long as you make it safe.

@GalaxyRaider

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*nods*
It is in my best interest to do so.

@Ignacious

*The three iterations of Purge01 open a transmission channel between them, and very visibly connect in a triangle pattern*
