On moving on? It could. But I’m honestly scared that all these things we’re having to pause and figure out are slowing us down too much.


Agreed. But you never know what might come in handy.
*Kneels down and traces the crosshatch pattern, and a basic menu appears when I drag down with two fingers*
<Snipped quote by Host>

*Reaches out to touch the ring*
Got any ideas?


If we can figure out what triggered any of the effects so far, that might bring us some insight.
<Snipped quote by Host>

What a great question. If only we could know.
*Plants a foot onto the pattern’s line myself*


*A glowing ring on the crosshatch extends out from where we stand in all directions with a dull marimbic tone before returning to the original color*
There must be some kind of interface we can hook into.
<Snipped quote by Host>

Yeah, that’s the one.
*Sidesteps the lines of the pattern as they manifest near us, still watching*
As cool as it all looks, though, is this building up to some kind of exit for us?


Would it recognize that we intend to leave? I'm not really sure myself.
*Steps onto one of the intersections, but nothing happens*
<Snipped quote by Host>

*Raises my arms while cracking a grin, and watches them before they leave*
Okay, maybe there’s a little bit of joy in it…


There's a word for it. Whimsical?
*As they float between the microlabs, a massive moon breaches the horizon, stylized with three bars of different length running across its surface, consuming a third of the sky when fully risen, and a purple cybernetic crosshatch pattern zig-zags itself from one end of the horizon to the other until the entire ground is consumed by the pattern*

You think the visual flair is important to him?


When he has endless space to operate like this, it's at least a higher priority than in the lab proper.
*Bands and ribbons of orange light flutter past us, spinning in a circle around each of us before continuing on their way*
<Snipped quote by Host>

I guess you can fit more into a virtual space. I’m doubling down on what I said about him needing a large space to play.


Fit more, pack in more visual flair. People like him seem to appreciate details like that, as impractical as they are.
<Snipped quote by Host>

That’s pretty cool. Still seems like it’s overly flashy.


This is a virtual world, as I understand it? Flashy wouldn't surprise me.
<Snipped quote by Host>

Woah.
*Looks up to where the trail ends, where you ended up*
You okay?


*Steps off and back onto the rail from the floating facility and it brings me back*
Perfectly fine. Convenient travel system.
<Snipped quote by Host>

He did things, of course. But then he’d talk to the people too. And he was a likable guy.
*Stares along the environment as it manifests in front of me*
Did we trigger that?


I think walking into the circle might have done it?
*Steps onto the blue line, and it zips me like a rail up into one of the micro-labs*
