I do too.
*Dematerializes and reappears in my private room in SciLab's network; after looking back and forth for anybody else, I fall to my knees and grab the counter, shaking and gasping*
Please... please, oh please...
*Opens and reaches into a dark hole, pulling out a damaged prism of data that I gently feed into a tubular device that begins piecing together what remains*

@Webmaster

*Once you’re gone, I let out a quivering breath, staring off to an arbitrary point in space while zoned out*
Tch...
*Stops and starts shaking, rubbing my arms, face and legs profusely*
What did you do to me?... Everything burns...
*Every muscle in my body tenses up greatly, like a full-body cramp, and I speak through gritted teeth and a tightened jaw*
Stop!

I'll meet you there. I need to analyze some... data first, which might give us an advantage.

@Webmaster

*Raises an eyebrow*
Sure. Hope you’re onto something.
*Takes a second to prepare myself before taking flight once more toward the others*

Maybe he has some kind of plan?

@Webmaster

Better hope so. You trust him more than I do... I actually think we should regroup. See if the fighters from the Robyn side of it are fit enough to keep going.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

What can we do, then?

@Webmaster

Find them? I dunno how to do that though. And you’ve better hope Isaac’s not alone with him, because as much as he knows about countering Nemid, he does not have what it takes to stand against him alone. If that's what happened, then you won’t be counting on him anymore, ever again.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

What can we do about it?

@Webmaster

Nothing. And it won’t be worth doing anything about it if Nemid wins anyway, so let’s stay focused.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

That's... horrible! Why would they do that?

@Webmaster

Because they’re horrible. You hit the nail on the head, chief.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

By who? What consequences?

@Webmaster

*Looks incredibly hesitant to speak*
Ex-Family... Execution.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Physically? Why?

@Webmaster

Black-
*Winces again*
... Mail. I see this through to the end, or I face... Consequences.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

How about we get you out of here and to a place to rest?

@Webmaster

No! You’re listening to me, right? I can’t.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Is something wrong? Other than the obvious?

@Webmaster

*Appears confused for a moment*
Err... Blackmail?
*Pauses again, wincing and closing my eyes, seemingly awaiting an attack that never comes*
