*gets up quickly and looks around frantically*
I thought we left…
*grabs my body up to my face*
Oh no…
*looks at Violet and Artemis*

@Extra

*Slowly looks up from my legs at you*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Slams the ground with my fist over gritted teeth*
NO! So close!

@Host

*The cloud shrinks to the point where it can no longer be seen around my head, and as I regain my actual senses, I look around at what little I can see among the debris through blinking eyes, and stare down at my legs which are still being layered together beneath a segment of cloud*
…

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Slowly but surely peels myself off of a stone annihilated to a smooth surface with a schlurp, more intact than my body should have been*
...

@Host

*The cloud slowly coalesces around my body more and more tightly, receding back into the hollow insides of the body it’s generating. Still headless and legless, my body sluggishly pulls itself into a sitting position*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Although very little of the energy was consumed by the explosion, it begins to collect in bands and compress, circling something within the dust storm*

[@Omniscience]

*In the midst of the dust clouding the air, a small, violet storm cloud rests near the ground, agitated and rumbling near and around my torso and an arm with none of the rest of me to be seen*

You foo—
*The system responds instantaneously to pod damage by dumping the entire contents of the above chamber's energy reserves into the room, completely annihilating any and all matter on contact and blowing this entire half of the lab out of the planet, much of it dotting the atmosphere*

@Host

*Freezes what I can in the midst of the air, but fails to stop the torrent in full, nor its reaction with the environment, and disappears in the flash of light*

At least open it before you do anything rash!! See who it is!!

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Think about it! All that responsibility could be lifted off your shoulders if Dynamo is under there!

@Host

He’s not! I’d feel him under there, and whatever is in there is not distinct from the pod-

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*looks at the pod and takes a deep breath*
I’m sorry. I must save my friends… Finalizing Alamo Protocol…
*the detonator flashes red and I twist the device on the terminal while clicking the button in which the four blocks glow red then white and an energy back each grows out and engulfs the pod and snaps closed in a obliterating implosion while the terminal gets fried and the screen explodes*

@Extra

*Stops talking and stares*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Even if we skip it, how are we going to get back to the top under active pursuit?? We need whatever is in there!

@Host

We don’t, I can handle it! What we need is to not make risky assumptions and ruin everything!

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*doesn’t respond as I look through the terminal*

@Extra

Can you find anything?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Can we not block out the sound!?

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Then we'll take it out right away! Do we have a choice??

<Snipped quote by Extra>

Hurry!!

@Host

Yes! Yes we do!

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

That's not Artemis!! Artemis is at home!!

@Legend

Says the real Isis?!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Extra>

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Zinnia! One of you! Listen to me!! You're making a mistake!
*Another explosion presses down against the plasma barrier*

@Legend

*Yells*
Start talking!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Extra>

*Watches in anticipation*
Good. This should be safer for whoever is inside too.

@Host

I don’t feel another person inside that pod, though! What if whatever is in there, is wired the same as the Isis clones out there, and comes out wanting us dead?
