*Hops through eagerly behind you*

@Unhinged

This room is disabled entirely, as made obvious by the exposed machinery.
*Motions toward the patterns*
Now, if we continue along our initial plan of attack, we need to destroy this side wall and intrude the next chamber.

*Teal energy coalesces onto my finger tip from a small area of space surrounding it before it’s projected as a beam that burns a hole cleanly through the wall and out the other side*

@Multifarious

*Nods*
Well done. That should take care of it.
*Knocks a hole into the outside of the building and walks into a pale room with several multicolored patterns dotting the walls*

We could definitely take the time to take each of them out, but if you don’t think it’s as practical as doing it this way, then that works.
*Sticks out my finger in a pointing manner, but places the tip of it against the part of the wall you designate*
Will this angle do it?

@Multifarious

Once the security system is alerted, it will adapt to prevent the same technique from succeeding.
*Looks at your finger*
Yes, that appears to be correct.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Okay then. Let's get started!

@Unhinged

*Circles a small section behind the back wall of the first room*
The main processor for this room's simulations resides here. If you can destroy that, it should disable that room's security, at the cost of alarming the rest of the lab. The only way to avoid alerts completely is to destroy all one hundred fifty four reality generators. However, the devices in rooms we're going to ignore are incapable of affecting the sections of the lab outside their domain.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

We both can! I’m just afraid of messing up in case it has to be super precise.

@Unhinged

We have a high degree of flexibility. As long as the control room is undamaged, the data should remain accessible.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Yeah, unless you designed it to be incredibly resilient to damage from outside, then why not apply some surgically precise attacks to dismantle the security by force without dealing with the hassle? Your knowledge on the structure is clearly massive and we can put it to use and avoid any headache. As long as we make sure not to damage anything important to what you're looking for.

@Multifarious

I'm more than willing to try if you have that kind of targeted attack available to you.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

No way we can break and disarm some of the functions of the traps by attacking from the outside before going in?

@Multifarious

I'm open to suggestions. The generators are inside, however, and any attacks on them would have to pass through the inside.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

What are the security measures exactly? Just automated guns and stuff?

@Unhinged

No, unfortunately nothing quite so simple. The lab will attempt to trap us in manufactured realities.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

If it’s not too much to ask, then definitely.

@Unhinged

Of course.
*A holographic map of the lab’s blueprints is beamed onto the ground from my face*
This is the lab in its expanded form. You may notice that the internal dimensions are larger when all of the experimental chambers are active.
*A red line beams from the entrance, takes several sharp right angles through a series of walls, and stops in a half-dome-shaped room toward the back of the building*
This is the route we’ll be taking. It’s where security is weakest.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Suppresses a very brief smile*
I just don’t want to make assumptions. We don’t know exactly how potent your security is.

@Multifarious

I would be glad to map the system out if you would like. The security system is tailored to the lab’s capabilities.
