That would be a waste of the lab’s computational power, given the resources required to build it. Its successor has much more fine-grained controls for simulated realities.

@Etcetera

I don’t suppose you can be faulted for that. A disaster scenario like this isn’t easily predictable.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

That’s one of the many reasons this lab is deprecated. Its containment mechanisms are deficient for information of this level of sensitivity.

@Etcetera

It seems like it could slightly be modified to become a frightening weapon. I’m surprised it was just deprecated and not entirely decommissioned.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

I see. Did I bring up my distaste for infohazards?

@Etcetera

You brought up your familiarity.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Out of curiosity, what would have happened if the information were to rapidly spread?

@Etcetera

This kind of mercy that you found? It’s not normal. For whatever reason, the three of us were bonded in this quest of sorts in place of you being doomed to death for something you really had no control over. Other people would not get the same mercy.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

I would have avoiding breaking into the lab entirely if I could have asked someone else for access.

@Etcetera

Well...
*Finally dusts the combat debris off myself*
You, Zoey, me and this mystery person are all bonded in ensuring the information is quelled. So it’s in our best interest to find them and make sure they’re on the same page as us. Until then, maybe it’s best that you keep what you know up here.
*Taps my head*
For the time being.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Is there some other possibility?

@Etcetera

Not one that’s immediately obvious. You’re sure it can’t be someone you know?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

She offered to do business with you. Perhaps that could be a lead?

@Etcetera

Mystical businesspeople like that rub me the wrong way... I definitely was planning on never having more than that brief interaction again.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

That second individual claimed to have access to my lab. Could it have been her?

@Etcetera

There’s a chance. I have a feeling it’ll be tough to find her to find out.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Unless it’s suggesting that the information is present on the system itself.

@Etcetera

No, it’s explicitly an actual being. Someone with sentience and intelligence.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

They would have had to access the system between the time that we entered the fourth chamber and the time we entered the control room. That’s a very slim margin of time.

@Etcetera

No one else you know or work with could be responsible?
