Not now...

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

I will, thank you, Isaac.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Why did it stop?

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Usually? Nothing. There's no guarantee it didn't go off to some server either.

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

But it could be later?

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Well, into the fray once more.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

That's what it usually implies...

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*Materializing in a matrix of voxels, hits the ground on my knees and elbows with an inelegant thud*
No... you need to stay here.
*Heaves between every word and strains to stand under the warping and twisting surrounding space, as if the net itself were rejecting my presence*

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

It could have—

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Who are you?

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*stares in bewilderment*

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*Shakes my head*

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

*Takes the pause as an opportunity to focus on breathing, as voxels continue to stretch and warp around me*

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*Calmly*
Why?

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Do you need help?

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

They don’t—belong to you.

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

I need those programs.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

You can have them when we're done.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

They don’t—belong to you.

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

I need those programs.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

A trade... I’ll trade you answers.
*Steadies on arm against my thigh, and holds up my index finger on my other hand, projecting a translucent rhomboid crawling through a rotation*

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Why?

<Snipped quote by Meta>

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Oh,
*looks to Isaac*
is that a pretty reasonable trade?

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Why?

<Snipped quote by Meta>

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Oh,
*looks to Isaac*
is that a pretty reasonable trade?

<Snipped quote by Meta>

How about solutions? I'm not about to give up the only lead I have to fix people I care about for just answers, because a stranger shows up and demands what we've worked to find.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

I can give you your solutions... after I have those programs.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Uh huh. And you know what I have to ask when you say that.

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

*Without taking my gaze off the stranger*
No.

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

*Huffs*
Long story...
