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

@Etcetera

Not so much more likely than anything else.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

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

@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.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

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

@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.

Then I suppose the only option is to wait until our friend awakens.

@Etcetera

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

If you're certain. I won't impose this task on either of you.

@Etcetera

Figuring out this mystery will make it worth it. Curiosity hasn’t killed me yet.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Yes, but it still crossed a line. Neither of you is obligated to continue if you wish to go.

@Etcetera

We’re almost done. I don’t like leaving a job partially done.

*Sits down*
Perhaps a moment of rest isn't out of the question...
*Drums my fingers against the ground, contemplating*
I apologize for this room. Neither of you deserved that.

@Etcetera

We did sign up for it.
*Stands back up straight and looks down at Zoey*
With varying levels of enthusiasm. But at least we won’t have any long term concerns after this is over, I think.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Do you know her current status?

@Etcetera

Unconscious? Nothing else seems to be wrong from what I can glean.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

It must have required an intense quantity of resources.

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

*Rushes to your side and kneels down*
Are you okay?

@Etcetera

*Walks over, squats down next to her and you and holds my hand out, seemingly scanning her with a pink light from my hand*
She's fine... Or should be.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*Strips of reality sling themselves in wild directions, several of the ribbons affixing themselves to us, as the lab chamber phases in beneath the crumbling façade of the dimension*

@Etcetera

That was a much more intense effect for ending the scene.
