<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Well, I’m sure that you’re more than capable of taming it and getting what you need? It’s your lab after all.


I intend to do whatever I can, but disabling the security measures will be non-trivial in my current state.
<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

... I guess that's not absurd for something considered "impossible".


It was never formally proven impossible, but I didn’t anticipate that the lab would be capable of solving it. It’s been entirely deprecated.
<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

How long did it take?


It was rather quick. Only a thousand years or so.
<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Is there anything inside of value?


Given the fact that the lab has restarted operations, there is. I had tasked it to solve a problem I thought unsolvable in order to prevent it from meaningfully operating. Its reboot indicates that it has computed the solution, and I would very much like to know what that is.
<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Oh, I thought you were living here or something.


If I were, this may have been avoidable. Although... Lab 14 should not have been capable of beginning a reboot.
<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

So where is it?


*Motions toward the house*
This is Lab 14. As they say, it's more than meets the eye.
<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Well, if it’s just a lab, then at least it can’t move... Right?


In standard and/or ideal conditions, your intuition is correct.
<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

So, just to be clear, there is no danger because of this particular situation?


The projections are unlikely to harm anyone. Lab 14 in a corrupted, autonomous state, is not necessarily in the same class as "no danger," however.
<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

What’s the deal with it anyway? Why do you have a massive broadcast set up for something seemingly not dangerous?


I don't. Lab 14 was originally designed to create and manipulate alternate versions of reality, and it happened to be equipped with a projection system for practical reasons.
<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

We noticed the big talking hologram of you, if that’s what you mean. And other people.


The me in this state should be legitimate; Lab 14 does not have any record of this. As for the others, I wouldn't trust anything they might have said.
