Teach? Something tells me that might be a little rough.
*Looks at my index finger momentarily before placing it against the shape on screen*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*The same forcefield grid materializes just between your fingertip and the screen, this time with a hairline black webbing between the tiles*
That's a nasty bug, isn't it?

Huh... yeah, that is bad. I can't skip this part of registration.

<Snipped quote by Host>

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Are we stuck?...

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I doubt it. Isis has admin, so she should be able to bring the field down, register you, and bring it up again.

That's—y'know, I guess I could, huh? Let me peek.
*Drags a popup off to the side*

<Snipped quote by Host>

Thank goodness, then

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Paces a few steps slowly to the side*
Is a place like this usually not just brimming with security? Especially since I apparently flagged some kind of alarm?

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

We've never really had any threats here. I think dad poured everything he had into stopping anyone from finding it in the first place, and everything else is geared for the best this mortal world has.
*Flips a toggle to the forcefield corresponding to the lab and triple checking that the planetary field stays active before finally hovering my finger over the apply button*
That said, we should probably still try to make it quick.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Quickly walks back over and tries to apply my print again*
I definitely am behind that idea.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Hits apply*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*As soon as you do, a booming rumble bellows through this wing of the facility, and the floor completely gives way beneath me*
WHA—
*Catches myself on the lip of the newly-formed hole, barely hanging on above a seemingly bottomless chasm*

<Snipped quote by Host>

*Gasps and grips the console tightly, looking around in a panic*
Wh-
*My eyes lock onto you*
Hang on!

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*The console room lurches clockwise as its underlying support structures fail*
Please, hurry!

<Snipped quote by Host>

*Zooms over and grabs your hand to pull you up*
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, I've got you!

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*With a snap and a boom, the ceiling and corridor above and behind me plunge into the abyss, crushing your hand and leaving the zone exposed to the frigid ravine*

<Snipped quote by Host>

*Looks up as the ceiling comes crashing down, clenching my eyes shut as it falls. The collapsing rubble turns to molten stone and metal, in almost an instant, washing over all it lands on as a liquid without transferring any of its extreme heat to any person in the area*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Instinctually pulls back what remains of my hand, now a severed tear just below the thumb with ripped tendons and ligaments dangling from the surprisingly complete dismemberment*
...
*After a brief moment of shocked silence, screams, and doesn't stop screaming*

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Runs over and slides to the ledge, almost as if tunnel visioned, looking past the debris as it instantly melts after falling low enough*
Artemis!
*Closes my eyes again and focuses, and the ravine can be seen from where we are rapidly converting into frigid liquid oxygen that also does not transfer heat either to or from itself, in hopes of catching Artemis's fall into the pit*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*You sense a body splashing into the formless lake, which moves in an irregular pattern toward a nearby cave in the ravine walls, and ducks away*

<Snipped quote by Host>

*Sighs as the lake evaporates, then turns back to Isis, grimacing as I attempt to assess the damage*
