*Doesn't stop*

@Unhinged

*Stumbles backwards slightly when you run into me*
Was that necessary?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Surges forward and forces my way through the wall in the next room in an attempt to outrun the transition*

@Unhinged

*I appear in front of you*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Blasts the lab apart as this happens to attempt to exploit the slow load times*

@Unhinged

*Sharp jagged lines fill the space around you and the white force slows down drastically*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I can’t think of anything else to ask, at the very least.

@Multifarious

*Nods*
Then let’s continue.
*Knocks down the next wall, flooding the room with an opaque white, separating the three of us*

*Nods*

@Multifarious

Would any other information be useful before we continue?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

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.

Myriad Reality

<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.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*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.
