Am I late???

@Galvanize

*Twists to look at the date and sighs*
Oh, I don't work today. Why did you freak me out like that??

@Galvanize

You could've woken me up like a normal person. And I dyed it like last week. Already starting to fade, though—ever since I started work, it's being doing that much faster.

*points at Artemis*
That was Arty who kicked open the door.
*leans on the frame*
could it be stress or your speed?

@Galvanize

Can stress mess up dye? I was thinking it was something to do with the air around here.

*Grits my teeth through the attack and shakily raises an arm toward you*

@System

*My mask visor gleams as I shift my gaze down to you*
You’d better hope the real you isn’t so easy.

@Abominations

...You ought to hope he is.
*The now-boomeranged disk slams into the back of your head and latches onto your helmet, activating its internal magic power source, which crumbles metals it contacts and integrates them into itself; I lurch away from your line of sight at the same time*

@Webmaster

Stress can do an insane amount of things.

Maybe it's some combinati—anyway, anyway, that's not important. The meeting is today?

@System

*The disk, upon attempt at integration, is flooded with random data from an artificial consciousness that fights back against it. I reach back and grab the disc with my hand, tearing it from where it conjoined, shattering it in my hand and vaporizing it like the rubble before*

@Abominations

How convenient!
*Hypersteps through the space between us and claws into the front of your mask, projecting my own digital soul into the consciousness*

@System

*A vision of me presents itself to you, along with an overwhelming swath of information flooding in, most of it indecipherable junk*
Convenient… Careful of the consequences for digging too deep.
*Impossible quantities of malicious junk data are pumped into you, as the physical body in the room pries you off his face and blasts you in the face with an atomizing red beam*

@Nemeses

*The beam burns away at the flesh above, and slows down as it reaches the pulsing blood beneath, which absorbs more energy before itself disintegrating*
Akora, Omega!
*Slams my forehead into yours, and then kicks off against your chest, shoving you backwards while at the same time flinging another handful of microbots at the wall*

*Flutters through the room in a gust of wind, appearing fully dressed a few short seconds later*

*The beam stops and I glance towards the open exit for a moment, as though seeing something that isn’t there*
