Why would we touch the terminal for emergencies if it's working fine?

@Host

Dynamo doesn’t just leave emergency items without some sort of understanding of what they do. Likely, its different options in case of an emergency.

I don't know. But I don't think we should check the terminal.

<Snipped quote by Extra>

You're the one supposed to be leading us.

@Host

I’ve not been in this office space before. It’s weird but-
*pulls out the memory drives and pockets them*
There. When I went through normally, it’s different. Probably part of the emergency protocol to have access to his space.

Is this like, a recreation of a space that’s personally important to him? What is all this, exactly?

@Audacious

That or he had it designed to make him comfortable despite the fact there is a slim chance that he would be stuck here and hundreds and thousands of years goes by and he wouldn’t even know.

*Lifts my hands and speaks solemnly*
After this is over.

@Host

Then’ll I’ll go ahead and make myself comfortable as quick as possible.

*Picks up a book and casually flips through it*
So how does this function as a path to where we needed to go, then, exactly? I’m lost.

@Audacious

*grunts as I am dismantling the PC*
You brought the manual, can you check out the emergency terminal and see what it requires?

I would also be interested to know what's on it. Maybe I'll take a peek myself...

@Host

Go ahead! otherwise I will take it with me.

Er, what are you doing?

@Host

Seeing if he has anything on this computer...I think Ill just take the memory itself and try to get it somewhere else.

Hm...

*Most of the blueprints are for new segments of the lab or far-fetching dreamlike ideas like floating cities; the computer itself boots slowly but immediately prompts for a password*

@Host

*thinks to self*
Hm...what would his password be?
*types password123*

*The desk has multiple drawers with blueprints, ideas, and half-finished projects, alongside basic computer equipment many years old by the lab's standards; next to the decks are stacks and stacks of game consoles, cartridges, and magazines in an easy-to-retrieve enclosure*

@Host

*scans over the blueprints for anything that I would see as important for where I am going to and boots up the computer*

*We enter an office containing a small river flowing under a curving pane of glass that leads underneath the adjacent wall, accompanied by radiant green foliage dotting the walls and flower beds embedded into the floor; toward the back stands a set of shelves, books, and documents, alongside a desk and swivel chair*

@Host

*deadpans*
Why am I not surprised...
*walks over to the desk*

I'm not sure I understand, but... that works.

@Host

*waves my hand*
Just know we are safer now, but I still don't like being here.
*looks around*
