*Pushes my hand against your face, but the same grid appears and repels it*
That must be it, then. Quarantine.

<Snipped quote by Host>

What can I do?

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I can try adding you to the system, but no promise it'll work. It needs some kind of DNA or genetic marker to register you.

<Snipped quote by Host>

I-
*Sighs*
I don’t actually even know if I have that.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

You... don't know? What does that mean?

<Snipped quote by Host>

I don’t have a normal human body. Anymore…
*Looks down*
It’s insane how often this ends up actually mattering, but my body’s not organic. It’s some kind of exotic material that was manifested around my soul when I… Well, when I died.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Blinks a handful of times with a confused expression, processing*
No registration, then?

<Snipped quote by Host>

Sounds like I can’t, unless you can register other materials for whatever reason.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

That...
*Frowns*
Makes things much more difficult.
*Pauses to think*
If we can't register you, we may be stuck. The system won't let you anywhere near the control room.

<Snipped quote by Host>

We can't be stuck. If we're stuck, we lose.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Raps my fingers against my cheek, one at a time*
The only thing I can think of is adding you to the system by hand.
*Looks out over the hazy cross-crossing mesh of halls and girders, still buzzing with frantic scientists*
Isis is the only one who might have the right credentials.

<Snipped quote by Host>

I hope she’s not in trouble then…
*Looks back in the direction we came from*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*The elevator nears the bottom of the chasm*
The elevator does a number of scans, which makes it slow. As long as my father remains obstructed, I don't think she has anything to worry about.

<Snipped quote by Host>

I hope that lasts long enough. The longer it takes…

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*From across the chasm, one of the scientists frantically points at us and types a code into a wall panel, and the alarms blare an even more distressed tone while thick metal gates slowly start to descend at multiple checkpoints in the hall*
We need to move!

<Snipped quote by Host>

Okay, we’re getting destructive…
*Forces the material the gates in our path are made of to melt away from the center, opening a path for us to continue*
Let’s go!

<Snipped quote by Host>

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Smiles and takes off in a jog toward a hall adjacent to PaMDA, which opens up into a glassy lounge, decked out with exotic chairs curved under themselves, an infinity pool, an artificial sun, and even holographic walls depicting a tranquil countryside*
I'm sure Dynamo will understand.
*Seven of the same containment doors start to close in this area as well, two on each wall other than the one you melted, but these are equipped with the forcefield along their surface*

*Catches up with you both*
Arte—huh? What is going on??

Did you get the door sealed?
