*In a white blur, bounces off a rock toward the bottom and shoots into the chamber where Mierno is*

@Legend

*Picks up my pace into a jog, then a run*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Follows after you, silently*

@Host

I need you to trust me. I don’t want any decision we make to ruin our chances. If time runs out and I end up needing to face Dynamo myself, then that’s what it is. Horrifying as it may be, whether I’m ready or not. Time’s already on his side. Letting it panic us only does him more favors.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

We're still under a time crunch. A massive one at that.

@Host

Trust me, I’m not going to be forgetting that part. Hurry up.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Extra>

Oh, uh, right.
*Takes a running start and leaps into the void*

@Legend

You-
*Watches you disappear over the edge, expressionless*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*When you turn the corner to a corridor we didn't walk down before, you find that it opens into a gaping void overlooking what was once the chasm and is now an enormous crater, the entire half of the lab affected by the explosion now gone as if it were never there in the first place, but the trail we took holds itself suspended in place, unaffected, all the way down to Mierno's chamber*

@Legend

*Stares into the expanse without stopping my march, then glues my eyes to the path ahead*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Look, it's none of your business. This is exactly why I didn't want you to watch me earlier. This always happens.

@Host

I’m not even judging you for it. But let’s be honest with everyone, at least. I need all of us to not make any rash decisions again.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I'm beyond out of the loop. No idea what you're talking about.

@Legend

We all thought we were already there.
*Turns and starts to walk down the path again*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Shakes my head*
I'm just a girl.

@Host

*Mumbles*
You lived too…

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Simuwhat now?

@Legend

The… Thing that she did.
*Points at Zinnia with my thumb*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

We don't know thaaaaaaaaaand you're doing it. Okay.

@Legend

I was in the simulation. I know it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Stares with puppy dog eyes*
Please don't let her go.

@Legend

She could break out of that anyways if I left her. Let’s not pretend it was some perfect trump card up my sleeve.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Fine. She'll just kill us all again though.

@Host

*You feel the ground around your ankles melt away again, but the floor beneath your feet remains solid*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Gently nods*
I felt... whatever that was.

@Legend

…
*Glances around the room between all of us, but doesn’t look squarely at anyone*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

See what??

@Host

*Blinks and finally addresses you after a second*
Are you done attacking her?
