*Pumps my fist and winces again, lowering it down gingerly* I was in the IA just a little bit ago. I’m a Tier Four! And I’m not dead!

@Efficacy

That's not an inaccurate description. You almost died.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

A medical centre? I—yeah, I did. Am I still in the IA?

@Efficacy

Not quite. A few dimensions off.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*Turns to look at you and groans as I do* Huh? Oh—well, everything is aching. But I’m alive... Where am I?

@Efficacy

In a medical center. It looks like you had a bit of a rough trip.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*Eventually comes to, staying in place and looking around groggily* I—I’m not— *Puts both my hands to my face and breathes hard, almost sobbing* I did it. *Lets out a whistling breath and slumps down*

@Efficacy

*Looks up*
Hello. How are you?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Thank you, Prism. *Disappears in a flurry of sparks*

@Mammalia

*The other four copies of me merge into one and sit next to the medical bay*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Thank you. Oh! In that room *Points* is one of our main medical bays. If he needs more help for some reason, get him in there and have him lie down. It works best with one of its operators, but it’ll work automated, too.

@Mammalia

Will do. I wish you the best, Ruby-Jean.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*Pauses* Find out if he’s going to leave. If he does and he’s not coming back, call me and tell me to come. If he says he’s going to stay, don’t call me. Just, uh... use discernment, I guess? The idea is that I want to meet him again, but not today.

@Mammalia

Alright. Good luck getting your thoughts in order.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Thank you. *Scrawls down my number on a paper* Call me at this number if Soren is in danger.

@Mammalia

*Takes the paper*
What if he wakes up?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Don’t tell him that I was here. I’m going to go away and think. See what you can learn about him. If he asks how he was healed, we have really good medical equipment that might have been able to do what I just did for him.

@Mammalia

*My body becomes translucent and splits into five beings, four of which carry him away*
I'll avoid mentioning you.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

I think—I don’t know. I feel like I need to take a break and think.

@Mammalia

We should make a decision now, while we still can.
