If the first room is anything to go by. It wasn't terrible.

@Multifarious

The system isn’t designed to escalate, and each chamber should be independent... assuming it hasn’t been tampered with.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Good! That's good progress.

@Unhinged

And between the three of us, we'll likely defeat the security of each room relatively quickly.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Alright, then! Four more rooms, yeah?

@Unhinged

Three. The first room was included in the count.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Any idea who'd want to mess with an experiment this old? And how long ago it could have been since they were here?

@Unhinged

Only conjecture. Some concerning, but... unlikely. I need to reach the control center to read the dates the logs were recorded.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Which... Means that they also got through security.

@Multifarious

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Maybe even to security.

@Unhinged

And must have discovered how to make modifications, if this is truly the work of an external party.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Nothing to do but keep going, then.

@Multifarious

*Nods*
I've found some information in the meta-logs. Someone else has been to this lab since I last visited.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Blehhh... The security in all the rooms are at least the same level, right? So it doesn't get more elaborate in any way?

@Unhinged

Not beyond a possible projection, no.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Such doubt also possibly being system generated.

@Multifarious

Such doubt is inevitable.

*Puts both my hands on my head and looks up*
You guys are hurting my heeeaaad.

@Unhinged

Apologies. For whatever it means, neither of us are likely to be fake.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

All that said while we're dealing with a potentially self-evolved system from your original design.

@Multifarious

Certainly. And there is, of course, the distinct possibility that even I and this mode of reasoning is generated by the system to deter further escape attempts. I do have doubts that the system would be aware that I possess such information, however. I apologize for not establishing a baseline before we began.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

How do I know we're not still in one right now??

@Unhinged

*Opens a small hatch in the wall and connects a thin wire to it*
You don't. Simulation jumps are unlikely, given that a single artificial environment should be sufficient for containment under normal operating conditions.
