I was asked to hit things.

@Heroic

Hitting things is useful.
*The light in the orbs fade, revealing tiny fragments of a crystal in one, an oscillating chunk in another, and an empty sphere in another, surrounded by a dozen other experiments in various stages*

*had been listening the whole time*

If I had recalled, you had asked If I could secure more amaranthine. She may be able to aid in that endeavor, should we need more samples.

@souleaterfan320

More samples would allow these tests to scale. However, I’ve made useful progress thus far.

*Watches a them nonchalantly*
Care to explain what it is we're doing more specifically than just anti-Amaranthine things?

@Heroic

I don’t know your role, but I happen to be researching the properties of the Amaranthine and how its power might be harnessed.

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

It’ll take a lot for me to call whatever we’re doing labor, honestly.

@Heroic

Still, it does not go unnoticed.
*Taps at a computer screen, causing large orbs of light to manifest over the pillars*

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

I guess I am.
*Shrugs*
He asked nicely enough.

@Heroic

I see. Ideally, this process will be simple enough. I’d rather not cause unneeded labor.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

No biggie. I can tell you take it seriously.

@Heroic

I assume you’re aiding Shinji in this endeavor?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

*Walks through as well, not reacting to the light at all*

@Heroic

*Once Shinji walks through, the doors close and the light weaves itself into a sterile white travel lab, blemished by obsidian pillars dotted across the grounds*
Welcome. I apologize for the lengthy man-trap.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

Interesting.

@souleaterfan320

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

I can’t help but feel like that’s extreme for the level of effectiveness it has.

@Heroic

These measures are necessary for artifacts with active hostiles and unknown properties.
*The door swings open to a room full of nothing but piercing light, and I step through*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

Hm?

@souleaterfan320

As I said, ritual magic; this door won't open without a blood sacrifice. Crude, but effective.

*Watches*

@souleaterfan320

*The doors tremble as they shine through with brilliant light and slowly open on their own*
