<Snipped quote by Legend>

Is it sentient?... Also, I'm not burning either of you arbitrarily. I would just want to keep something from happening.

<Snipped quote by Extra>

Not metal. It's... Well, all I've ever had it described to me as is "a lattice". But it's definitely not metal.

@Audacious

Lattice? That’s interesting.
*flips the panel and removes a cover, replacing some electrical parts with some from my pocket, after I type in a code and flip four switches*
…I think you will be fine, but we have to wrap something over the wounded Isis metal patch.
*flips another switch and three green lights sequentially turns on, the final flashing green I go to the trunk and rummage through it*

*My face falls*
That's... not what I wanted to hear.

@Legend

*stops at a massive door with a lever on the side*
I’m not saying that he is dead or anything, I pointing out that I am alive and heading to do my job. After, we can try to find him.
*crouches and pulls out a dusty trunk from a hole in the wall and reaches in and pulls out a panel with switches and a keypad*

<Snipped quote by Extra>

Do you even know if dad's alive?

@Legend

No, I know that I am. And I got a job to do before more people get hurt.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Extra>

He sent a message to himself?

@Legend

The system probably did automatically.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Extra>

Who does that include?

@Legend

I am pretty sure you and David, I don't know who else.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I hate that I have to say it too. But as long as I stand on the ground that I'm not gonna succumb to the old movie trope of shooting the doppelgänger, I just have to assume one of you two might try and ruin everything. I know you don't want that.

<Snipped quote by Extra>

*Waves my hand dismissively*
I'll be fine. My body isn't even organic anymore. Nothing to hurt.

@Audacious

*breathes in sharply*
That is what I was worried about. We are coming up to an experimental reactor and if you are made of metal you may not have a good time like we are.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Extra>

I don't think anyone has doubted that for a second.

@Legend

Yes, so a call was made to those who have a great capacity to assist.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Extra>

If it's all the same, I'll keep that one little tidbit private for now. It's the one thing I have over someone who I just met in this situation.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Nods*
I thought it might be agreeable, at worst. I'm just sorry we're in a position where I can't fully trust you right now.

@Audacious

Well, this reactor has a funny thing. Normal humans can survive well in it, but I don't know how outsiders fare.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Extra>

Wait, what do you mean "heard the call"?

@Legend

That we are in trouble...?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Extra>

That would make sense. Especially if the system released her as some kind of emergency measure.

@Host

Possibly, I'm glad at least one of you heard the call.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Extra>

I'm sorry, I can't believe that.
*Squeezes under a transparent duct carrying an amorphous fluid*

@Legend

Believe that both of you are Isis? What is there not to believe?
*takes a left and down a curved corridor where the humming is growing louder*

<Snipped quote by Host>

You both wait outside. Maybe I still let you both in to offer guidance or something, but I confine you both to a small space with a cage of superheated air to prevent the fake from making potential moves to sabotage.

<Snipped quote by Extra>

I hope you're right, but that seems like such a gamble to be depending on.

@Audacious

Some of these guys are a little too confident in forgetting stuff and nothing happening. It’s how I get into some special areas that are more of a private room. Found a badge that allowed me into a personal break-room with a popcorn machine!
*turns back*
If you don’t mind, what are your abilities exactly?
