*Stops and stares at a viewpoint that catches them all in the footage together*

@Audacious

*Watches the cameras as well, and we both observe Dynamo say something that can't be made out above the audio mixing between the feeds, and endless clones of Dynamo spawn in sequence and parallel throughout the galaxy, each poised to deliver maximum damage to Aeron when he crosses its path*

Myriad Reality

*Continues walking past you, watching the screens as I pass them*
Is that all this is?

@Audacious

*Each of the screen is a different angle of an intense combat between Dynamo and Aeron with Dark Dynamo; some of the viewpoints are obscured, some are in first-person, and all of them capture a different attribute of the combat overall*
It seems that way.

*Stops and stares for a second, then hurriedly catches back up the few steps I get behind*
It would be an awesome playground…

@Audacious

If only we had time to explore instead of saving the world.
*Steps onto the microlab, which contains a series of holographic screens all playing unique content*

<Snipped quote by Host>

And then you summoned the magician's rod that did this. Do you know where it's taking us, though?

@Audacious

Not sure. It urges you toward interactbale things in this world though.
*Holds the staff up to a pillar and the side explodes outward into marble voxels before being pulled seamlessly back into the main structure like a reversed tape*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

Maybe. What did you do, by the way?

@Audacious

If you swipe down in front of you with two fingers, you can access the menuing system.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

*Scurries over behind you and climbs up behind you*
It's definitely not.

@Audacious

Some kind of playground, then?
*The staircase twists and turns toward a floating microlab with no rail leading to it*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

*Stops and watches*
Right. Case in point: wizard's staff.

@Audacious

I'm not convinced this makes work any more efficient either.
*Starts to ascend the staircase*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

Yikes…
*Walks in arbitrary directions throughout the grid at our feet*
Talk about overkill.

@Audacious

*Retrieves an item labeled Control Staff from the inventory, which digitizes in my hand*
We talked about theatrics earlier...
*Taps the scepter against the grid, and large marble columns rise up on either side of us as an ascending staircase rises from the terrain*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

Oh. That was more so me just choosing dramatic words… Will it actually be, like, a huge laser?
*Stops and stands behind you, looking over your shoulder at what you’re doing*

@Audacious

*Opens a digital inventory, full of scientific equipment*
He's going to blot out the sun and use it as a small fuel source for himself.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

He wouldn’t be wasting his time if he could help it. We know he’s here.

@Audacious

I was thinking about the sun comment, really.
