*The machine explodes as I walk through it*

@Zeal

…

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

What would Melody do...
*Grabs you under one arm and tries to shuffle you behind one of the machines*

@Meta

*Makes absolutely no conscious moves to help you do so*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Oh no no no...
*Blinks toward you in a fizzle of voxels and checks to make sure you’re alive*

@Meta

*Is clearly still breathing, I just clearly took a huge hit to the back of the head from hitting the wall*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*plants my feet and takes the hit whole, causing my feet to dig into the ground*
Trespassers will be dealt with, you have been warned.
*the book floats over my shoulders and flips to a page that has blue rune circles and a blast of magical energy throws you off of me, shortly after I go to smash the box*

@Zeal

*It disappears from under your foot the moment pressure is applied to it. Meanwhile, I fall from against the wall face first onto the floor, unmoving*

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*Rushes over in attempt to reconnect it*

<Snipped quote by Zeal>

Can we just talk??

@Meta

*It doesn’t seem to have a conventional method of external control before disappearing*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*The system starts to return a small set of results*

@System

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*the lightning converges back book form and my knife blade’s path continues, creating a massive shockwave that smashes into you*

@Zeal

*Prioritizes the new set of data over the rest before being struck by the shockwave, crashing into the nearest wall, and the box stops humming and drops to the floor deactivated*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*The fuzzy search function matches a huge amount of data, which slowly transfers to your device*

@System

*Leaves that process running while frantically narrowing a second search down to data gathered as a result of experiments on “Harmony”*

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

*engulfed for a few moments I walk out from the blaze and it instantly dissipates when I exit I keep my gaze on Isaac*

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Leave now.
*blink strikes with the lightning blade, leaving a heavy molten burn in it’s path*

@Zeal

*A pylon ejects itself from the ceiling rapidly, sticking straight down and acting as an attractive force to your lighting, forcibly pulling the blade into itself and jerking your strike off target by mere centimeters*
… Baba yaga?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*pulls myself out of the wall*
I don't think you understand the danger we are in...

<Snipped quote by Zeal>

*points my staff at you*
Hellfire
*a small ember string forms between us and a massive beam of blue flame bursts from underneath you*

@Ignacious

Do you know something? Who is this? Why is he here?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Worse.
*slams the book and knife together and I slowly pull the book away as it becomes an extended lightning blade on top of the normal knife blade*

@Zeal

The Ogopogo…

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

Wh—Are you dumb?? Help us!

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Project Melody! Probably five thousand years ago!

@Meta

*Projects a holographic display from the box directly in front of my face and queries the term “Project Melody” in that time range*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*looks at you as pages turn in my book*

@Zeal

… Data?

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

You're the one who does combat, help!

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

I don't have a lot, so we need to get out soon!

@Meta

What do I need to be looking for? Project name, file names, specific data entries?
