No one else you know or work with could be responsible?
Unless it’s suggesting that the information is present on the system itself.

Someone else must have had access to your lab. Intimate access. Because I was informed that the total number of entities that now roam Existence with this forbidden knowledge due to what happened today is two.
*Points at you*
Not just one.
They would have had to access the system between the time that we entered the fourth chamber and the time we entered the control room. That’s a very slim margin of time.

There is truth in that. Maybe the time will come for you to learn more deeply of that, depending on how things go, because there is one more thing that I need to tell you.
Hm?
<Snipped quote by Etcetera>
It’s an ancient system. Checks and balances are in place not because of the will of any one person. They are fundamentally part of nature, built into the way the world works. The people you see exerting the Lost Will of Nature are not doing it by their own volition or decisions, it’s reality’s way of presenting itself to us to correct anything it deems as corrupted or incorrect.
This appears to be a rather arbitrary force of nature. Most systems with that level of depth possess some degree of intelligence.

There would have been no relenting until you were killed. This is the value placed on the knowledge so few of us are permitted to know.
Surely there could be some form of reasonable negotiation.

Isolate this as well. The answer that makes the most sense is that she’s... Taking punishment for defending you. Standing in opposition to the principles of the Elements and the Lost Will of Nature.
I... see. I would have rather accepted punishment in her place.

I have a couple of ideas... None of which involve the training grounds specifically.
What else could have caused it?
<Snipped quote by Etcetera>
It’s not physical trauma... Which is scarier, I think.
Is there anything in your training grounds that would cause that kind of effect? I was under the impression that you were all very much in control of everything there.

Our best people are looking into it, but need more time. Her condition hasn’t changed.
...I see. Is there any update regarding a possible cause?
<Snipped quote by Etcetera>
... Yes, please. Give me a minute.
