*Inhales gasping breaths and flashes you a thumbs up*

@Legend

Good! Wish we had the suits, but we are in a bit of a hurry.
*walks up to a door on a side and badges in, when I pull the handle, I am unable to open the door. I glance back and put the badge back on then realize its a card slide, in which after swiping my badge it opens up*

*Pulls myself through*
Aaaggghh!

*Pulls myself through on the other side*
Phew!!

@Legend

*Sits up and parts my hair from in front of my eyes*

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Sighs, relaxing my shoulders and standing up*

@Audacious

*The door shuts as pressure normalizes and I take off my goggles*
You all good?

Myriad Reality

*Holds onto the corner to keep myself upright*

@Host

*notices that the Isises are not back and runs to the lever that is slowly raising, holding it down*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Extra>

W-aye!
*The pressure involuntarily pulls me through right behind you, due to my deceptively low weight*

@Audacious

*we both slam into a wall that is covered in a thick layer of mattresses and bounce to the floor*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Extra>

*Wraps both arms around the railing at your signal, and despite the fact that the chaotic shifts send my body flailing in all directions at their whim, I hold tightly without seeming to strain very much*

@Audacious

<Snipped quote by Extra>

*Shuffles along the wall, keeping stable the whole way*

@Host

*we slowly reach the other side as the massive door is opened to us, pressure escaping towards the open space and I smile when I jump, letting it suck me into the doorway*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Extra>

*Clenches my teeth in anxiety at the reactor's sudden shift*

@Legend

*gives you all a thumbs up and continues forward*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Extra>

*With a confused look, holds tightly to the rail with my arm*

@Legend

*the room distorts slightly and the lights dim to a faint glow from the core where, after a few moments, the room flashes as the two stellarator rings warp expand out to perfect rings instead of their normal flow-like state and the pressure and gravity of the room pulls and pushes us to and from the rail, up and down before returning to the normal room pressure*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Extra>

*Shakes my head, staring into the singularity as we walk*

@Legend

*to an untrained eye, you don’t notice anything off, but I snap my head towards the core and stop us, leaning fully to the wall and facing the core. What warned me is some of the light flares within and the core flowing more vertically signals a short wave of pressure increase, I wave my hands and show you all to wrap your arm behind the handrail*

Myriad Reality

*Hangs on tight to the catwalk and follows after you*
Are you sure this is safe?

@Legend

*keeps moving forward with my head slightly angled to watch the reactor and be able to see forward, you feel like you hear yourself speak, but nothing is heard due to the immense pressure of the room*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Extra>

*Both of us slip and fall when the machine activates*
Woah!

@Host

<Snipped quote by Extra>

*Bounces in sporadic directions due to the forces*
Tuuuuurn iiiiiit ooooooooff!

@Legend

*glances back then turns to look at both of you, rolling my eyes and helping you both up, pointing at my eyes the then I lean on the wall, waving you to follow*

<Snipped quote by Extra>

*Puts on the goggles and stands against the wall. In the midst of all the forces pulling in every direction, I look largely unphased except for the fact that I very slightly slide off my feet and up the wall a small ways*
There is no way this is normal practice.

@Audacious

*waves you to follow as I push through, grabbing on to a handrail that is lining the outer walls from a very sturdy catwalk*
