Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I was more worried about all the holes you're leaking from.

@Valiance

That's a gross way to put it, but I'll survive. Physically, anyway.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Just a humble outpost. Don't think too much of it.
*Lowers you onto a nearby couch and walks to the central terminal*
You're not going to bleed out on me or anything, right?

@Valiance

I'll be fine. A missing limb isn't the worst I've faced.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

That's the spirit.
*Brings you through a portal to a round metallic room with a computer at the center and various pieces of furniture scattered about, almost like several living rooms were blended into the same room as one that housed a supercomputer*

@Valiance

Where's this?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Exactly. C'mon.
*Walks toward the portal with you supported*

@Valiance

...
*Sigh*
I'll escape any trap you set.
*Hobbles through*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Could be. You willing to act on that suspicion?

@Valiance

And do what?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Then it sounds like you weren't in the right job market.
*Opens a portal*

@Valiance

For all the talk about setting a trap, this could easily be a trap for me.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Pulls you up and supports you with your arm over my shoulder*
You just need to promise me you’re not gonna go plowing through any more dimensions when we’re done.

@Valiance

*Stands*
It’s not something I just do for fun.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I’m not a cop, man. I just save lives.
*Holds out my hand*

@Valiance

...
*Takes your hand*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Then let’s get you out of here.

@Valiance

To some prison?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

No.

@Valiance

This dimension is going to be a target. I don’t know how long the silence will last.
