Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*It eventually comes across a glass cantilevered structure built into the canyon's side, supported only by diagonal structure beams beneath and itself flat with a boxy design and a curved outer viewing window*

@Memory

*The eye flashes once again a few times in rapid succession, and then emits a beam of light from its eye that flashes on and off rapidly while staring at the structure, analyzing the density, molecular structure and strength of the material itself*

Myriad Reality

*The droid enters without any resistance and is immediately met with a lighted canyon interior, but it fails to send a signal back out of the ravine*

@Memory

*It’s eye flashes blue a few times, and it independently skirts the top of its permitted skyline, continuing to follow a path to the last coordinates it was given to the object*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*Not a single sound echoes back up to you, but the blackness is as still as glass—the sparse wildlife around the canyon instinctively avoid it*

@Memory

Not even a clap-on light system? How barbaric.
*Whistles and clicks my tongue, then gestures with my head down toward the chasm while looking at the little droid*
Sic ‘em.
*The robot descends eye-first straight down into the darkness*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*The rock is swallowed up as soon as it crosses the boundary line between light and darkness and becomes immediately undetectable*

@Memory

*Claps twice and stares expectantly down at the darkness below*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*The only response is the wind whistling across the sandy terrain amidst the setting suns on either side of the horizon*

@Memory

*Mumbles*
Make my job difficult…
*Puts my hands in my pockets and stares blankly into the abyss as a a small metallic ball appears in a flash of light, floating in the air with a pair of halos spinning around it perpendicular to each other*
…
*Picks up a rock nearby and drops it into the darkness below*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*The signal brings you to the edge of a black ravine with an intense inwardly pull applied to anything below surface level, as if the very substance of the pit were designed to prevent anything from exiting*

@Memory

*Looks up and around, speaking to seemingly no one*
Is there any chance you’re here?

Myriad Reality

*Takes a deep breath, and then flips open a round, silver gadget to take a look at the reading inside, as it takes a moment to initialize before signaling back to me traces of the last object it was assigned to be linked to*

Myriad Reality

*Shuffles exhaustedly through the front door of my family home and closes it behind me, collapsing backward against it and sliding to a sitting position against it on the floor*
Mom?… Vi?
*After a moment of quiet, I rest my forehead against my knees and close my eyes, eventually falling asleep right where I sit*

*looks around*
Isaac?

@Ignacious

*Silence returns your call*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*logs out and appears back at your lab*

@Ignacious

*By the time you return to the real world yourself, the lights are back to normal, the server is laid resting on the table by a computer along with the Darwin Box, and the lab is completely empty*
