Well, under any other circumstances, you'd have gotten Rythian, but instead you get us! Two instead of one.

@Unhinged

It sounds like I got a good deal, in that case. I meant to ask how he was doing.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Sounds like just about everything that could go wrong did, then. All at once.

@Multifarious

I'd agree with that assessment. The timing is unfortunate.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Wait, so there is no semblance of your actual body left at all?

@Multifarious

There exists pieces, but DNA validation is insufficient. My magic fingerprint would be a much better identifier, but all of my magic gateways have imploded.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

All your means of access depend on your full biological body?

@Multifarious

All of the simple ones require some semblance of my original body. More complex mechanisms exist, but they may trigger the security mechanisms.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

But isn't it yours? If you don't, who does?

@Unhinged

The issue is that the lab doesn't properly recognize me. I'm normally completely biological, but I was severely damaged recently.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

But surely you do have identity to verify?

@Unhinged

That will be accepted by the lab? Unlikely.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

You're absolutely not selling me on any of this, still.

@Multifarious

I won’t ask you to help if it concerns you. I didn’t anticipate any assistance.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

It must be pretty elaborate if you can't teleport in, wirelessly access the data, wirelessly access the security, overpower them, outrun them, outgun them, trick them, turn them off-

@Unhinged

There are measures in place to prevent quick access without identity verification. While those techniques may work in the long run, they won’t be so simple.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

What exactly would you want? Just the data from the problem or the whole lab recovered?

@Multifarious

I would be as satisfied with the complete destruction of Lab 14, since its purpose truly is obsolete. Unfortunately, its security systems would make that process difficult—if I can access the control room, I should be able to both retrieve the data and shut down the lab permanently.

We saw the broadcast hologram things. She dragged me here since she was bored where we were.

@Multifarious

As they say, boredom is the impetuous for meaningful action.
