Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

*Takes a right near the end of the hall, which very suddenly leads to jagged metal, defunct wiring sticking out of the infrastructure, and a massive opening in the ship from damage that leads to the outside near the ground. As far as the eye can see in this direction, IA warships of varying yet vast sizes lay derelict across a flat, grayish-yellow landscape, and many smaller wreckages and bits of junk are scattered in the dirt between them*

@Magnanimity

I'm really glad I wasn't in the middle of this. Whoever insured these is about to go bankrupt.

Despite the sheer vastness of this graveyard, as far as I can tell, it’s just a graveyard for shipwrecks. Never saw a body.
*Walks down the hall to the right, which, as the floor seems to be un-level to the ground, seems to lead down*

@Magnanimity

*Follows, trying as hard as I can to avoid stepping on uneven surface*

I scrounged around in them. They’re mostly the same, but this one was the easiest to clean up. I imagine these were where the ship’s higher ranking officers slept since they’re all private.

@Magnanimity

We won't come across any corpses, will we?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

No, not in this specific room anyway. I’d been sleeping here for about a week and a half before I got found.

@Magnanimity

What about the other rooms?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

*Steps through behind you after a short moment of silence*
Hm? Oh, don’t worry about it. Nothing special about this place.
*Approaches the door and opens it, which reveals an immediate shift in decor as it opens up to a long, dimly lit metal hallway that sits in absolute disrepair*

@Magnanimity

*Looks from the left to the right*
Have you been here long?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

*You walk into a bedroom, rather well kept and furnished yet plain, with a single door in it which is closed*

@Magnanimity

Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to intrude.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

I can’t. The places this thing goes to are locked in.

@Magnanimity

If you're sure.
*Steps through*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

*Looks at it for a moment*
I imagine he’d have blown himself up already if this was dangerous.
*Activates it and watches a portal spiral to life a few feet in front of me*

@Magnanimity

Hopefully you got the location right. It's a bad day to step into a volcano.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

I don’t think it’s designed to do that. Unless it’s always a risk? Is interdimensional travel inherently combustive?

@Magnanimity

I assume every piece of technology can explode until proven otherwise.
*Takes a hesitant half-step back*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

If you’re sure. Right now this thing is only keyed in to two places, one of them being where we met, and the other where I came from. I don’t think he left his home in here, so it should be this one?
*Taps one of the buttons on it, which turns it on and starts a quick recalibration*

@Magnanimity

*Shrugs*
Your guess is as good as mine. Just try to not blow us up.
