<Snipped quote by Valiance>

You won't leave this room.
*The melting walls reveal dazzling arrays of dense interconnecting physical and magical components, several of which glow brightly and connect via thin streamers to those on your chest, shearing space across their respective planes*

@Webmaster

*When approaching within centimeters of my body, the streamers are suddenly slowed to a snail’s pace as well, as though time around my body is slowed immensely*
What room?
*Flips up to the ceiling, leaving the previously summoned balls of light in place, and thrusting my arms outward, dotting the walls, floor, ceiling, and all protruding objects with specks of deep brown, upon all of which gravity magnifies exponentially and collapses the room into hundreds of newly-formed singularities around us*

Your own knowledge is at fault.
*Places my hand on your chest, spreading the same pattern of magical circuitry to your body*

@Webmaster

Your insatiable curiosity is the most egregious crime.
*My fists open to reveal an orb of radiant power emanating in each hand, on a modest gray and the other a vibrant green. The color on my body dims and the magical corruption slows to a crawl while the air in the room shifts to a deep green tint. Everything around rapidly corrodes away except for my person, as though exposed to an unrealistically acidic gas*

Myriad Reality

Carrying out the prime directive.
*Mechanical arms laced with runes explode from the walls and lock onto your limbs*

@Webmaster

*Looks to each side, clenches my fists and furrows my brows*
It’s not like you to make your prime directive a mistake.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I understand.
*Blue magical circuitry flashes across my face, and the room twists and contorts into hardened metallic surfaces*

@Webmaster

*Stands up*
What are you doing?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

How many others know?

@Webmaster

Several, including myself. All of them are legendary figures in their own right. But no one has actually made the journey except myself.

Myriad Reality

*After a brief moment of hesitation*
How many records have you left of its location?

@Webmaster

Only one, personally. A travel log, of sorts. An autobiographical journal kept in storage and also guarded for informational purposes.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

And what are you going to do when someone who lacks the respect I do visits and extracts that information without asking?

@Webmaster

I’m willing to take you, but is it really so urgent you can’t explain?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Because each and every one of you is in danger. Can you bring me there?

@Webmaster

The world of the Ilouro is not just a place that’s sealed away, it’s a closely guarded secret held for eons by their people as well as the highest echelon of our society. I’m not saying I don’t believe you, but to be the one to breach a contract held for eons even before either of our times, I need to know what you’re talking about.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Akora is in trouble. You need to tell me how to get there.

@Webmaster

*Tilts my head*
In trouble on her home world? Nevermind the odds of that, how do you even know?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Can you take me there?

@Webmaster

You’re in trouble if you’re asking me a question like that.
