I'm good at cheating, what can I say?

<Snipped quote by Server>

Sooo...?

@GalaxyRaider

I’m going to give you so much the benefit of the doubt. But I’m looking through the binary file right now; it’s attached to some kind of standard debugger they use here in the lab.

The tablet.

@Ignacious

Looks like it's compiled code. Code and debug logs for some project.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

What does it say?

@Ignacious

The message or the tablet?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

*Watches the spectacle while continuing to speak nonchalantly*
Creature of the night.

@GalaxyRaider

Child of neon lights and overstimulation. May the net never change.
*After all of the streams find their way into the combined tablet, it gently bobs up and down with the same maroon hue and shadowed by the prompt “Segmentation Fault. Execute debug triage?”*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

Hate tot tell ya, you've been stuck in that darkness for years.

@GalaxyRaider

I’ve always been a rebel, myself.
*Combines both halves of the tablet, which unify in a bright flash and glow deep red amidst ribbons of data streaming in complex patterns around the object*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

*watches you both unamused*

@Ignacious

Something wrong?

<Snipped quote by Server>

This changes nothing.
*Slides off your back to my feet*

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

*Gives a thumbs up*

@GalaxyRaider

Every step deeper into the darkness makes it harder to leave.
*Walks the tablet over to its twin*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

I would be perfectly fine. But I also am a princess. It’s a tough call.

@GalaxyRaider

A goofball is what you are.
*Leaps off the top of the tower, and a pair of air jets in my shoes kick in to soften the landing a few inches above the ground*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

That’s two. And also really slow.
…
Do I have to stay up here still?

@GalaxyRaider

That depends, do like the idea of me princess-carrying you to the bottom, or do you want to risk the odds of falling as soon as you change the terrain?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

You’ve got it! This is a cakewalk for you!

@GalaxyRaider

It really isn’t all that bad. I wonder what took Cure so long.
*Finally pulls us both to the top and grabs the other half of the slab*
Invisivision.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

That’s one!
*The final obstacle is a simple set of stairs, but an almost comically large one where each stair is several steps across to the next*

@GalaxyRaider

*Grabs onto each step and hauls myself up, straining more due to gravity each time*
