That's true. Be mindful of any strange behavior.
*The device increases its wave emission output*

@Nimda

This stuff it’s outputting feels funny.
*Beams of light eject from my hands and into the ball as well, and it eventually reaches a point where its radiation intensity grows no more*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

More so giving you the choice to risk an adverse event.

@Nimda

I’d rather something happen than nothing. Nothing happening means we hit a dead end here.
*Holds my hands out into the radiating aura like I’m warming up at a campfire*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

The line between artificial and natural isn't necessarily clear-cut. Would you like to charge it to capacity?

@Nimda

Oh, you want me to help speed things along?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

It appears to be storing more energy than it emits. I'm curious as to whether the emission rate will accelerate.

@Nimda

*Hovers around near its surface, looking at it closely*
Is it manmade?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Do you recognize this substance yet?

@Nimda

Not in the slightest. But it’s really cool!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I’d like to maximize the information we can acquire while still minimizing our risk.
*The device now emits low-power waves across the length of the substance*

@Nimda

*Watches with an enamored look as waves slowly cause the moon-sized body’s spherical shape slowly becomes apparent, its previously intangible shape made apparent but a gradually growing more radiant*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Where do you expect to find them?

@Nimda

I want to retrace their steps. Whether that means that learning something about this object gives info, or if it’s something that you can go inside, somehow. Whatever it is.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Before we proceed, are you certain this isn’t a sort of trap? Perhaps the entity induced your astral projection in order to convince you to activate whatever this is.

@Nimda

I can’t rule that out entirely. But who knows where in Existence we might get a chance to find this person again?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Hm, I’m surprised. Very well.
*The lasers start generating small samples of materials and forces, and then measuring the impact of their presence*

@Nimda

Not that I’m aware of, anyway. I’m far from a master…
*Materials don’t react at all, but non-kinetic forces cause their point of impact to glow dimly on a round, black surface for a few moments before fizzling*
