<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Wait, why both?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I don’t trust a fake Isis with the real Isis. And I don’t trust that potentially leaving the fake alone won’t be a good opportunity for them to potentially sneak off, if they would want to do that.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Quietly*
If you think that's best...

<Snipped quote by Legend>

You don’t think so?

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I sort of wish the fake would sneak off and leave. This copycat situation is beyond eerie for me.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I get it would be uncomfortable. But if they could just sneak off, do more damage elsewhere, then worm their way back in again like they did the first time, then I think it's better to force them to stick around. We already know she's going to be out there somewhere.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Nods*
I understand the logic behind it... doesn't make me feel any better though.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Nods back*
I get it. I’d love to be able to confidently make a call. We should keep moving though, for now.

*Silently nods and steps into the break in the pipe*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Steps in with her*

<Snipped quote by Host>

*Wastes no time coming in after you both*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*The liquid moves in a near-perfect laminar flow, clinging tightly to the position you entered with and pushes you forward like an all-encompassing escalator*

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Looks down to try my best to see ahead of myself*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*The liquid is murky, only allowing a touch of faint blue haze to shine through to your position, and not delivering any oxygen in its flow, but not moving aggressively quickly*

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Furrows my brow as I move, extending my arm outward for a moment before retracting it*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*The liquid strongly resists the force like thick bands of rubber, but eventually gives way; a few moments later, the pipe makes a gradual 45 degree turn upward, ejecting you from the liquid and flinging you halfway through another break in the tube perimeter until half your body dangles above a cliff in an undeveloped subterranean ice field*

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Lets out a couple of subdued, panicked breaths as I stare along the height of the cliff before pushing myself back up over the ledge*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*The cliff face is part of a longer, narrow trail wedged between the metal base of the lab and the slippery terrain winding around and below it—Zinnia in the distance ducks under the visible part of the lab, jutting into the spacious pocket and supported by a thick metal pillar, and kicks a snowball into the icy expanse below*

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Pulls myself to my feet and walks carefully yet briskly to catch up*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Throughout the small expanse, there's no visible sign of either Isis*
