*Stands frozen still for a moment, then nudges on the door gently*
*It glides open without a hint of friction, leading into a frigid server room full of flashing lights, the white noise of fans, and beeping components*

<Snipped quote by Legend>
*Sighs and carefully steps in, taking a look around*
Hello?
<Snipped quote by Audacious>
*No voices emerge from the room, but a fan unexpectedly kicks on from immediately behind your head in response to the temperature differential; in the center of the server room stands a holographic screen with "DEMO" written diagonally across in large block letters and a grayed-out "live" banner on the bottom corner, underneath which lies video scenes of the planet's natives with an accompanied percentage followed by a time lapse of the taped individuals conducting a variety of menial crimes as the percentage ticks up toward 100% simultaneously with the crime taking place*
<Snipped quote by Legend>
*Whispers to myself*
... So creepy.
*Turns and pulls the door shut behind me, then walks further into the room*
<Snipped quote by Audacious>
*Any servers you walk by react in precision to temperature differences; as you walk, one of the servers sporadically beeps loudly and rapidly*
<Snipped quote by Legend>
...
*Lowers my passive body temperature to match that of the environment as I walk*
<Snipped quote by Audacious>
*Several servers are locked behind cages that extend up to the ceiling, but one of the cages is empty save for a windowed door into the cryo chamber, this one locked with a traditional key*
<Snipped quote by Legend>
*Checks to see if it is even actually locked first by trying the door*
<Snipped quote by Audacious>
*The door to that cage opens without resistance, but the door to the cryo chamber is locked*
<Snipped quote by Legend>
*After giving the empty cage a quick up-down, walks past it and to the cryo chamber door, grabbing on to the handle of a key of ice as the air in the tumbler freezes solid into a skeleton key for the lock*
<Snipped quote by Audacious>
*The key turns without major resistance apart from the now-cold metal and the door swings open*
<Snipped quote by Legend>
*The key dissolves and I walk through*
<Snipped quote by Audacious>
*Is balled up against the wall next to several heat exchangers and not moving, with my body temperature near the same temperature of the room, which is much lower than the server room but several orders of magnitude higher than the temperatures within the exchangers themselves*
<Snipped quote by Host>
Artemis!
*Runs over and puts my hands around your hands, and immediately shifts the air in a bubble around us to a much warmer state that doesn't radiate to the air around us, while not spiking the temperature so high that it would put you into shock*
<Snipped quote by Audacious>
*After a period of unresponsiveness, my body eventually responds to the treatment and triggers uncontrollable shaking, trying to self-regulate temperature*
<Snipped quote by Host>
*Turns you onto your back, then hoists your upper body up as I sit next to you, supporting your back and holding your head with a hand each to help you breathe as much as I can*
<Snipped quote by Audacious>
*Launches into a fit of coughing and one eye flutters open*
<Snipped quote by Host>
Shh shh shhh.
*Pats you on the back softly*
Stay calm, stay calm, it's okay.
<Snipped quote by Audacious>
*Catches your eyes with a mix of confusion and fear*
V-vi?
