<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

Your world is strange. But I suppose ours is too.

<Snipped quote by System>

Yours is very strange to me. But interesting as well!

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

*Looks toward the fight with King*
Let's make sure everything finishes up smoothly.
*Disappears*

Pure Kat: Wait wait wait! You've gotta listen to me. The way we're connected is an ingrained part of who I am. It's a place, and we have to get there and stop it at the source. I don't know who you are but I have no choice but to trust you, do I? I can't feel anything, only hear and speak. Is anyone else around?

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Record End: ... Crap. *Taking stock of the situation, I cancel the silver flames and absorb the rest of the flesh cube back into my body before taking a look at my form. Though thin lines of amaranthine run underneath my skin, its pace of encroachment doesn't look to be visible.* Yet another risk, but it needs to be taken.
*Tapping into the borrowed power of the encroaching amaranthine, I shift myself over to Shinji.*
Situation's changed, I can get us out of here, but consider me contaminated once we part ways. @souleaterfan320

Record: Call me Record, and state the closet coordinates to the location then. It sounds like time is critical.

<Snipped quote by Abominations>

*Surrounds my hand with thick space and pulls it out of the vortex*

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*From another vortex, a foot slams into the back of your neck as you do*

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Pure Kat: *Shares the location with you*
I'm trusting you with this because I have no choice. Please don't turn and around and use that against me. No one is supposed to know about this.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Record: No promises, but know that we won't stoop low unless we're pushed to survival. The "we" of that statement is our secret, just as this "location" is yours.
*Closing my eyes, we fall back into dimensional space and soon exit it to arrive at the location.*
Mierno was still fighting last I saw him by the way.

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Pure Kat: I don’t really guess I have any bargaining chips in my current predicament anyway... Glad he’s okay though.
*We emerge in a very platinum-heavy technological facility, in an open room with a few machines built into the infrastructure*
Are we there y- Ohh, nevermind. I feel it. We’re here. Among the
*My voice quivers like I am shuddering*
“Parts” you have here, find the red chip with “CO” on it. I need you to put it somewhere. Usually I don’t need to do this but I don’t have the means to use it myself right now.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Record: Understood. This might be momentarily disturbing, so I apologize.
*As I speak a new head and neck sprout from the base of my original neck, then another, and another. By the time I'm finished, there are several heads searching about the room, all connected back to me by unnatural, winding necks. Soon enough I find the chip and grab it, retracting the individual branches until I'm back to normal except for the extra arm holding the chip.*
What next?

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Pure Kat: Whatever you’re doing, I can’t see it. For better or worse, I only have my imagination... Anyway, just insert it into the computer uh... I don’t know how to direct you. One of the terminals in the wall should be near a slot for that, and it’ll give me control of what parts of my facility are still mine. I’ll get myself all fixed up then and we can get this sorted out from there.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Record: Alright.
*Closes my eyes and after a moment of rapid movement underneath my eyelids, I open them and walk over to a slot. After checking it over, I turn around and head to another. After about two more failed attempts, I locate the slot and plug the chip in.*

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

*After a moment, an video projection of me appears on screen*
And it's as easy as that! You're a total stranger to me, so I'm mildly surprised that you helped me out, especially for no promise of a reward. I like you, Record. Who knows where I would be without you! Here in just a few moments I'll be ready to sever the connection entirely.

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

Ours is bounded by strict rules. But there are exotic things here as well, especially when the boundary between the net and the real world begins to break down.

<Snipped quote by System>

I guess there are rules within my world, don’t know how to word them, but there are.

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

But not quite computer code?

<Snipped quote by System>

Not at all. Computer code could be recognized as cells within our bodies.

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

Do you think you could explain that?

<Snipped quote by System>

Hmm... I mean. It is what makes us up, but we do not have any programming involved.

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

You're made of code without a programmer?
