You think it's a bluff to keep people away from what's inside?

@Audacious

*Shrugs and shakes my head*
Your guess is as good as mine. Do you get the impression it's protecting some kind of secret?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

Not even remotely, no.

@Audacious

*Takes a few steps deeper, and as the circles get tighter, the warnings also become shorter, including "MAJOR TIME ANOMALY ZONE" and then further inward, a pictogram of a man aging into a decrepit state as everything around him turns to dust*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

... Hyperbole, right?

@Audacious

I have absolutely no clue what's in here. Does anything strike you?

Myriad Reality

*Mouths a "woah" as the surroundings clear*

@Audacious

*Looks between the features with a puzzled expression, many of which are written in simplified language*
