Awwwww. Next floor, then?

@Webmaster

No ideas for supplying power to a system wirelessly?

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Not much at all.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

I can, magic or metal?

@Galvanize

They’re the opposite of black holes, and much more infrequent throughout Existence. But they chaotically eject matter from themselves until they die, and that’s the sort of power I believe you two are holding onto right now.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Are we stuck, then? What if you hack those security systems?

@Webmaster

It’s all powered down.
*Looks up and scans the room from top to bottom*
Can’t hack unpowered hunks of junk.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

What if you break the make-stuff side?

@Webmaster

Inducing instability on either side could be chaotic. I don’t know anything about their abilities in these forms where they passively exist in their absence.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

You think it's like, charged with an ancient and powerful force that should never be disturbed?

@Webmaster

I think the material is infused with those powers of creation and destruction I mentioned. Their energy inlaid with the metal itself.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Aye aye! Do you think you'll be able to get into the next room, or are we stuck?

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

Hey hey! You can seal off the room!

@Webmaster

This one isn’t budging. I don’t want to be too forceful, either.
*Looks extremely closely at the wall next to me and raps my knuckle against it*
I have a feeling this room doesn’t just look like this because of a paint job.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

I'll bet we could figure somethin' out!
*Measures the entrance by making right angles with my index fingers and thumbs, and closing one eye*
Maybe you could use a crowbar.

@Webmaster

I’m sure you could find a way. Just make sure it’s not so impervious that we can’t get back out.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Don't get exploded while you're doing it! Maybe we should also seal off the exit so we don't get followed.

@Webmaster

That door didn’t sound like it will close properly again.
*Rears back and strikes the door with my palm, causing the entire black half of the room to vibrate ever so subtly without leaving even a mark where I struck*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Do you think it's a good idea to barge in? I mean, they could maybe just evaporate you with the black hole stick?

@Webmaster

*My hands drop to my sides as I fail to grip and part of the door*
At this point, I’m just concerned about finding out what’s going on here. If that means going somewhere we’re not supposed to, so be it.

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Oh really? What are they?

@Galvanize

Annihilation and creation, to explain it briefly. How familiar are you with white holes?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

This is so weird! There's got to be something important, but what do you think it's for?

@Webmaster

*Struts straight down the separating line and tries to feel around for a good place to force this door open as well*
There were probably some important functions they kept under tighter lock and key. It’s elaborate security.

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Maybe.

Split personality?

@Galvanize

It’s aesthetic at least. Symbolic of their abilities.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Cuh-reeeeee-py!
*Moves my head in large circles as I look around the room*

@Webmaster

*The room seems mostly barren, save for another set of sliding metal double doors on the other side of the room also split by the color scheme, and some terminals that are powered off on either side accompanied by peripheral hardware meant for verification purposes, including a small round couple of holes symmetrically opposed to each other amidst the hardware*
