Are we stuck?...

@Audacious

I doubt it. Isis has admin, so she should be able to bring the field down, register you, and bring it up again.

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*

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.

Where do they come from?

@Audacious

That I wish I knew. Up, somewhere.

<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.

*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.
