Teach? Something tells me that might be a little rough.
*Looks at my index finger momentarily before placing it against the shape on screen*

@Audacious

*The same forcefield grid materializes just between your fingertip and the screen, this time with a hairline black webbing between the tiles*
That's a nasty bug, isn't it?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

In what direction?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Because I'm thinking I can save us the trip and sever whatever is connecting the barrier to the control center from here and save us the trip, and the time.

@Audacious

*Points through the rightmost gate*
How do you plan to do that?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

*Saunters slowly up to it, approaching it as you do*
Where does it come from?

@Audacious

There's a control center if we take a detour. I think our speedy friend's badge can get us there, at least.
*Nods to Isis*

<Snipped quote by Host>

What if… the whole room just went away?

@Audacious

That's also an option. But we need to shut down—
*Walks up to one of the holographic walls and raps my knuckles against it, revealing the yellow grid*
The barrier first. That would be the fastest way out of here.

<Snipped quote by Host>

Where do they come from?

@Audacious

That I wish I knew. Up, somewhere.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Exhales a sigh of relief*
Thank goodness…

@Audacious

As soon as she opens that gate, we're probably going to run into more of them.
*Nods toward Isis*
She can run through before they close, but do you have a way to slow them down?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

Don’t think I can just cheat the whole way there?

@Audacious

Now that the system has adapted for you, burning the facility down doesn't look like an option.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Where is the Panda device relative to where we are?straight ahead? Not far, still kinda far?

@Audacious

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I think it's pretty clo—

@Legend

We still have to get you registered in the control room, which is a few minutes detour to the edge of the chasm. She could sprint the distance, but it's a walk for us.

<Snipped quote by Host>

*Catches up with you both*
Arte—huh? What is going on??

@Legend

I followed you. I know my father better than anyone else, and you need my help.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

Okay, we’re getting destructive…
*Forces the material the gates in our path are made of to melt away from the center, opening a path for us to continue*
Let’s go!

@Audacious

*Smiles and takes off in a jog toward a hall adjacent to PaMDA, which opens up into a glassy lounge, decked out with exotic chairs curved under themselves, an infinity pool, an artificial sun, and even holographic walls depicting a tranquil countryside*
I'm sure Dynamo will understand.
*Seven of the same containment doors start to close in this area as well, two on each wall other than the one you melted, but these are equipped with the forcefield along their surface*
