I'm more inclined to believe it's an elaborate simulation until we prove otherwise.

@Multifarious

Perhaps. It will be difficult to say for certain; even our small group is suspect here.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

What's it trying to do with this?

@Unhinged

I’m not sure. It may be a malfunction.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Nowhere to go but forward!
*Follows after Data*

@Unhinged

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

Except literally anywhere else.
*Glances around the room one more time before doing the same*

@Multifarious

*As soon as you both enter the room, the darkness converts into a stark white and fades until an apparently inactive simulation chamber is left*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*Shrugs*

@Unhinged

*Quickly disappears from sight completely*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

... Who wants to go first?

@Multifarious

I’ll go.
*Steps through the hole, the darkness clutching to my back*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

That's definitely not the same.

@Unhinged

It may have pre-generated the simulation for this room. But I agree; it is unusual.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Watches and waits*

@Unhinged

*Pulls down the wall with one additional tear, a dark void looming on the other side*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

No promises. Let's go!

@Unhinged

*Walks to the wall highlighted in red by the map and tears through it with my arm, pulling a mess of wires and cables with it*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

That's fair, I was just put off by the assertion of safety.

@Multifarious

The system shouldn’t aim to harm you. I would caution that because these are true simulations of reality, you can still be harmed, so I wouldn’t recommend cliff jumping as a hobby if that becomes available to you.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Safer? If it's just designed to contain and nothing more, then surely we're not in any real danger, right?

@Multifarious

Yes, but we would like to escape containment relatively quickly.
