That’s good to know. I would feel horrible if we made a mistake like that in a reality we thought was fake.

@Unhinged

As would I. We need to be diligent about the state of reality as we traverse the labs.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

So stunts like that mean you could end up killing a real little girl?

@Multifarious

That was Machina, my sister, and the first security trigger is always fabricated. Otherwise, yes; that is a risk.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Huh, I'm not super sure how to tell what fits that.

@Unhinged

What's worse is that it may project us into a true reality.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

So being random is the best weapon against this thing?

@Unhinged

*Shakes my head*
It needs to be targeted. Beyond difficulty processing the scenario, the simulator must be incapable of computing a path that led to our response, preventing it from delivering a reaction.

*Lowers my hand slowly, still visibly confused*

@Multifarious

*The lab falls away, revealing a room similar to the last with colors dotting the walls*
Whenever the simulation cannot process our responses to its creations, it collapses.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

To where and how, exactly?

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

*Waves slowly, confused*

@Multifarious

We're still physically in the same space. But we have to shut down each chamber individually, despite the security measures.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Data, Data, hi! I was cleaning your lab for you!!

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Hi Data's friends!!!

@Legend Begins

Thank you, Machina.
*Walks up to you and snaps your neck*

Taking it out before it finishes.

@Multifarious

I welcome any and all attempts. For now, we have to continue forward.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I feel like that can be taken advantage of.

@Multifarious

Do you have a suggestion?
*One of my other labs manifests around us*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Enters the room*
How many rooms between us and the goal?

@Multifarious

Five, all with active security. Then we should reach the central control room.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Well, here we go!
*Places each of my hands on the wall and blasts the entire thing into the adjacent room itself with the same type of energy used more precisely before*

@Unhinged

*The current room is caked in blinding white before the next room seems to engulf this space entirely, leaving us in a space-like void*
The loading times appear to have degraded somewhat.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

If we do? Do we have any reason to switch it up?

@Multifarious

I would not suggest it.
