*Stands up and looks at Zinnia, then takes off running down the indicated corridor*

@Audacious

*Raises one arm as you leave*
Search near the cryo chamber...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

*Finishes wrapping the bandage and rests in a kneeling position next to you, wiping my face at eye level with my forearm*
I wish I had more help to give…

@Audacious

*Shakes my head*
I've done much good here. Save those whose futures are yet to be written.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

Does she have a name? Where did she go?

@Audacious

I don't know.
*Lifts but one arm and points down an adjacent hall*
But that route will lead you to her. If she's still alive. Past the theoretical computing clusters.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

*Stops mid-wrapping and turns my head toward you inquisitively*

@Audacious

Might as well call her the black angel...
*Smiles at my own pun*
She scared off the experiment. But she's in danger.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

*Silently takes the bandage Zinnia gave me that I never used for Isis and wraps it around your arm*

@Audacious

*Exhales a small chuckle*
You're a kind one, miss. There's someone else who could use your kindness more than I... someone longer for this world.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

*Blinks and looks down*
You mean…

@Audacious

*Shakes my head*
The owner's experimental soldier. It's gone rogue.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

*Steps around the corner at the sound of your voice*
Hey, are you hurt?

@Audacious

*Holds my arm*
The white devil... she came through here. Got me real good, that one...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Stands still, mostly watching but occasionally glancing around our surroundings*

@Audacious

*Leans in a seated position against the otherwise-pristine wall, stained with the blood running down my face and pooling beneath me, but absent anywhere else in the hall*
Anyone? Save yourself...
*Keeps my eyes shut*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Nods back*
I get it. I’d love to be able to confidently make a call. We should keep moving though, for now.

@Audacious

*Steps in with her*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

*Takes a moment to think*
Okay. If we’re doing this, you both need to go first.

@Audacious

I think so too. It's too dangerous otherwise.
