Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*My eyes widen slightly in bewilderment*
There's no way.

@Multifarious

*Looks around with an intense curiosity*
I take it this place is meaningful to you?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Follows you, looking around at them in silent curiosity*

@Multifarious

*The room around us shimmers as the Studying Grounds pieces itself together and Rythian gradually comes into focus in front of us*

Myriad Reality

*Waits*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Scratches my chin*
Iiif you say so.

@Unhinged

Let’s go.
*Enters the next room, technicolor lights flashing around me when I step in*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Uh, how long?

@Unhinged

Longer than we have to wait. Let's continue, and I'll deal with the consequences when the time comes.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

That's a good call.
*Leaves through a rift to my homeworld*

@Multifarious

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Comes back*
I think we're just in reality.

@Unhinged

*Glances outside*
As for myself, heuristics may take a long time to complete.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

If that's the case, then I'll be right back!
*Opens a rift and leaps through it, attempting to head to Rythian's Studying Grounds*

@Unhinged

*You travel to the grounds unhindered*

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I hope it is that easy.

@Multifarious

We should also verify for ourselves.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

It knows less about us than you, to boot. We could probably go nearly anywhere we know to confirm it.

@Multifarious

Precisely. While that still leaves the question of why the room failed to generate, it would confirm the nature of this reality.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

We aren’t contained within a certain sphere of reality? So we could really try and go just about anywhere?

@Multifarious

*Nods*
When the device is active, it is either projecting or generating. There is no standard containment procedure, since its security features are simply an adaptation of its main directive.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

We still need to make sure it is, somehow. I think.

@Multifarious

The system shouldn't be capable of generating outside of its ambit of information. If we each go somewhere it has no reference point of, then we should be able to ascertain whether this truly is reality.
