These are all testing chambers that were running different experiments at one point in time. It happens that the fastest path to the control room that avoids other security systems takes us through five.

@Etcetera

Five was the easiest possible? Geez.
*Walks up to the hole into the next room*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Very well.
*Tears down the wall, exposing another room full of technicolor wall wiring*

@Etcetera

Why’d you even make this many rooms? Redundancy?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

They should be independent, but I've cast aside assumptions for now.
*Breaks through the wall*
Are you prepared?

@Etcetera

Prepared for the absolute unknown? Absolutely.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Alright. I suppose she knows where to find us.
*Raps the back of my hand against the wall adjacent to us*
It may be redundant information, but this should be the final room.

@Etcetera

Any reason to believe it’s gonna suck the most?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

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

@Etcetera

I say we keep moving. On that note, we can’t really wait on her to wake up.
*Leans over and touches her, causing her to disappear in a quick, black flash*

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

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

@Etcetera

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.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

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

@Etcetera

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

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

@Etcetera

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.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

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

@Etcetera

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

I hope that whatever she encountered was not that injurious.

@Etcetera

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