<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

That is unfortunately a very real possibility.

@Etcetera

The initial descriptions of your lab did not present this kind of danger as any sort of possibility.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

There are spiritual elements to the... Elements. And the spirits that rest here are picky about those who may be here.

@Valiance

I don't suppose you could barter with those spirits on my behalf?

@Multifarious

My lab is capable of more than I had anticipated. This level of intelligence was not designed by my hand.

@Etcetera

I couldn’t do it even if it was my own brother in your place.

I’ve never gotten to see them mad...

@Etcetera

The complexity of this situation exploded in the blink of an eye. It was so easy before...

@Valiance

Then this might be an unpleasant first impression.

*Looks upward with a trace of unease in my voice that isn't reflected by my metallic features*
Perhaps you will have that opportunity today.

@Multifarious

It has changed remarkably. I can't help but question why.

@Etcetera

I can only barter with you to leave. I don’t know whythe girls brought you here, but you have to go.

@Valiance

It was not our decision. We were brought here by a third party.

@Etcetera

Brought here in a manner that you can’t leaveon your own?

@Valiance

Not through traditional means. Is that a problem?

@Etcetera

You absolutely need to find something non-traditional as soon as possible then. The longer you’re here, the more dangerous it will be for you. The fallen abhor risk of compromised secrets...

@Valiance

And I'd rather not join them.
*Pinches the bridge of my nose*
I don't suppose you have a suggestion? Some way to eject us?

@Etcetera

These grounds don’t have any fancy mechanisms like that. Just a way to allow people in, and disallow others. The fact that you’re inside at all without immense brute force is an anomaly, and for those of us who can access this place, it’s as easy as leaving the way you came. If anything, you should know more based on how you got here.

...This question is meaningful. What are the most notable moments you have faced this week?

@Etcetera

This tops the list for months, but I would assume you mean besides this. We had a lesson, the girls and I did, but that aside it’s been a quiet week.

@Valiance

*Looks at the two of them*
I see. I need both of you to—
*Pauses for a moment, and then shakes my head*
I apologize. Never mind. Are you absolutely certain that nothing else has occupied your time lately?

The Big X planning to deal with Nemid, that largely doesn’t involve me. Important, but not eventful for me and my time.

*Nods*
I'm glad you mentioned that. Why would you not be involved?

@Etcetera

Most of us aren’t. It’s pretty much entirely in Sven and Vex’s ballpark.
