I'm not stopping now. Running from a scary monster down the hall feels pointless with these stakes.
*Marches forward at a sternly brisk pace*

*Follows and runs my hand against the stone wall*
Has home ever not felt like home anymore?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I guess that's true. Rogue robots or AI or something sounds more like what you'd have go wrong here.

@Audacious

AI could be the problem. An earlier version of PaMDA, maybe? But then there's a question of how it would hurt people.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

It's not?

@Audacious

I'm here, aren't I? So yeah, I don't know what lines he won't cross.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

No dangerous alien life in test tubes? No zombie virus experiments?

@Audacious

There are lines even Dad cross. He doesn't mess with people, and he doesn't bring things in.
*Cuts my eyes to the side with a semi-surprised grimace*
Actually, no. That's not true.

*Takes your hand, and is pulled up with extreme ease*
What kind of “it” would be down here, Isis?

@Audacious

I don't know.
*Shakes my head*
I have no earthly clue. Unless one of the power armors sprung to life out of nowhere, I can't imagine what could be down here.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Blows past both of you in an all-out sprint, bumping Violet's shoulder*
G-go! If you know what's good for you, get out while you still can!
*Runs in the opposite direction of the tunnel*

@Server

What are you—

I wouldn’t think so. You were s

<Snipped quote by Server>

Hey!
*Is knocked rather easily onto my back from the contact*
W-wait! What’s going on?!

@Audacious

*Initially extends my dominant hand to help you up, then switches to the other*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Starts walking*
We should go. I’m not sure what is blowing the place up, but I want to get out as soon as we can. I don’t want to get caught standing around again.

@Audacious

*Follows suit*
Maybe it's a glitch. Maybe it's my fault for the barrier thing. I don't know.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I think I’m good there.
*Continues walking toward the hallway*
Artemis ended up in an actual cave somewhere. I hope she’s okay.

@Audacious

*Nods with a subtle motion*
Me too.
*Pauses at a directional sign, pointing toward the museum entrance, a gravitational chamber, and other indecipherable symbols, including one with a sphere of points and polygons*
There's a PaMDA-networked terminal this way. That... that's good enough. We can work with that.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Is that where the Pan- “PaMDA” is?

@Audacious

It will get us there much more quickly than the museum.
*Rubs my temple*
Unless you wanted to try pushing us back up through the ravine and risk getting crushed by whatever nonsense is going on up there.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Maybe another time.
*Crosses my arms as I walk*
We trying to go to a specific area from here?

@Audacious

That depends. Do you think we go toward the hall of sure destruction, or away from it?
