Is that a necessity? Can’t forcefully warp or otherwise trick her into one?

@Armed Forces

Warping is an option, yes. I possess a containment field.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

Well, either we have to find a way to move her somewhere more permanently safe, or we have to render her unconscious somehow. Someone like you has to have a research facility where you can hold things for study like this, right?
*Slides another device into the mounted machine, and this one locks in place where the previous bomb was ejected, emitting hardlight lasers that put immense pressure on everything inside in order to make moving more difficult*

@Armed Forces

Several. The incapacitation issue is my primary concern.

I dunno how strong this stuff is. Data, you got anything to further help me reinforce this?
*Drops a perfectly round device into the machine on the wall, and it launches it into the encapsulated area through the hollow point in the middle of where the energy is projected, releasing knockout gas into the enclosed area*

@Armed Forces

*Holds out my hands, adding strength*
I do not know how much this substance can increase in strength.

Myriad Reality

We might be able to manage containment.
*Holsters the pistol as a large round device with handles appears in my hands, and I mount it to the wall behind me*

@Armed Forces

If the hypothesis is correct, be careful. That blood is extremely difficult to penetrate.

*Lands on my feet, sliding across the floor*

<Snipped quote by Source>

Should we fight back?

@Armed Forces

*The hole in my chest begins to close*
I would prefer containment if possible, but do what is necessary to protect yourself.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

This bears a strong resemblance to that Crona fella, on the surface.

@Armed Forces

I agree. That would be quite concerning.

*Draws my handgun and aims at you the moment you attack Data*
What in the...

@Armed Forces

*Tears myself away and steps backward*
I—
*Coughs blood onto my sleeve*
Share the same sentiment.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

Let me know anything I can do.

@Armed Forces

*Begins chest compressions*
We may need to transfer her to an equipped lab. If I can move her to an ice bed, that should provide us enough time to prevent permanent death.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

Almost gives me the indication that someone is doing this to her.

@Armed Forces

Yes, it does seem to imply a level of malice.
*Checks the monitors*
Her heart has stopped. I can perform compressions.

Myriad Reality

N-n-n-
*My limbs gradually go limp and my breathing slows*

@Fractured

<Snipped quote by Source>

*Once I set her down, I clear out for you to do so*

@Armed Forces

*Places another device on her forehead and it embeds itself into her skin*
It seems everything is slowing rapidly. I cannot find any direct source with these readings, and my nanobots are encountering an error when they attempt to enter her bloodstream.
