@Ignacious

It's eerie, but... not that bad?

@Meta

*like a mirage fading I slowly come to view from where you all entered, standing with a black book in one hand and an odd blade in the other*

@Meta

*the book opens and floats above my hands and I point with the knife, a black beam firing at you near instantly*

@Zeal

*Barely steps in and blocks the beam with my staff wincing at the tremendous force backing it*
When did we get followed?

@Zeal

*My face twists into a fearful expression and I duck, holding my hands over my head*

@Meta

*has a scared look in my face and looks back at the entity, eyes widen*

[GalaxyRaider]

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

It should. This isn't a good place.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

What if you had lost that gamble?

@Meta

I think the result of me losing the gamble versus not taking it might have been the same if we have to treat your little trick as a lifeline and had to use one so quickly.

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Alright.
*turns around then stops with a soft gasp*

@Ignacious

You okay?
*Turns to face you*

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*At this point, the box has an overview of the lab's resources, still transmitting slowly*

@System

Phenomenal. One second here…

@Ignacious

*blitzes in front of you and swats you away with the flat of the blade to the side, sending you flying*

@Zeal

… Data?

@Meta

What do I need to be looking for? Project name, file names, specific data entries?

[Zeal]

*slams the book and knife together and I slowly pull the book away as it becomes an extended lightning blade on top of the normal knife blade*

@Meta

*Projects a holographic display from the box directly in front of my face and queries the term “Project Melody” in that time range*
