I can stay behind, then.

@Host

*Continues to scan through the pages for mention of external control of the machine*
Any chance any of the Isis clones come through when you're alone?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

If you think that's best... but won't you need Zinnia to help you figure out where to go?

@Host

That's... Yeah, good point.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

You're right about that. Neither is a desirable place to be.

@Host

Well, I volunteer. It scares me, but as someone who's got the most experience existing in unstable spacetime, I might have the best odds of getting through a disaster. At least, I hope no one else here has that experience.

If something goes wrong, we won't be able to help each other. But going together might make it more likely to malfunction. Your call.

@Host

If time goes awry inside, and we're all inside, that's just it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I suppose I understand the warnings though.

@Host

Should we go one at a time?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

That's true. Depending on how extreme, either can.

@Host

It says it doesn't cause aging. Not sure how that works, though.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Both are nightmares in their own right.

@Host

One instantly fails us.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Familiar how?

@Host

Spacetime anomalies, and being in spaces where time is just different. At least this one isn't slower on the inside, it seems.

*The overview includes a description of how the device pushes the user into a spacetime distortion, in which they don't age and time passes several orders of magnitude more quickly than the outside world, in which at higher ratios, a fraction of a second could correspond to several hundred years inside the environment*

@Host

*Pauses while walking to the keypad*
That… That is a little too familiar, actually.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*The protocols describe how any disruption to the system's state have to be resolved from within and how the device has an internal interface that can be used to resolve errors, but that modifying the environment from within the environment could lead to horrific undefined behavior*
Great. What's the general idea?

@Host

*After skimming through that and trying to internalize the general idea of how to fix any major malfunctions, I jump back to parse the machine's actual function*
Still figuring it out, but apparently the machine, or whatever you want to call it, can be manipulated from the inside.
