And that is?

@Zeal

*After we have definitively departed, the device I used to warp out enters some sort of standby mode, flashing a dim yellow light slowly. Upon further observation, the device appears to be flashing in morse code, with the message “Wait for signal.”*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

That was far too close.

@Meta

I’m sick of them. I’m ready to be done.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

For now, that's true.

@Meta

Alright then, let’s go.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

And that is?

@Zeal

*Turns to you*
Thank you for your understanding. At least starting at the point after you hit me really hard…
*Nods an awkward pause and steps on a button like the one that took us here and we disappear, warping to my own lab*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

It is. And I'm honest too—let's leave this lab and I'll give you the keys.

@Meta

I’ll get us out of here. That is just a projection after all, right? You’re still in here?
*Pats the small device acting as a server strapped to my hip*
I can just leave and you’ll come with?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Progress? What do you mean?

@Meta

*Relieved*
On our deal. Finally, one side is done. Now I can save Rhythm and Tempo.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*Swipes at the confirmation*

@Meta

*Exhales*
Progress.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

What do I have to do to get rid of it? Don't bother trying to trick me either.

@Meta

I make good on deals and promises. You can count on me for that. Just swipe to the bottom and confirm to delete all.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Fine. Pull it up. Anything that references Melody or digital souls.

@Meta

I’ve already got it all. The Darwin Box is still querying everything slowly but I don’t think it’s going to find anything else.
*The display for all the data appears as a holographic projection in front of you*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

That's it. You delete the rest. I've done what I came here to do.

@Meta

I’d feel better if you did it. It’s not what I came here for.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*The rhomboid enters the tank and begins to dissolve any of the amorphous blobs it comes into contact with, each of which reshapes into a stringy, web-like substance when exposed to the atmosphere outside the cylinder*
As far as any digital creature can suffer, anyway.

@Meta

*Silently watches as they’re put out of their misery*
