<Snipped quote by Memory>

*Waves my hand dismissively*
Not important regardless of even that. I get the message. It's impressive. Data's work?


*Raises an eyebrow and holds my hands behind my back*
My own.
*The passage gives way to a pale yellow darkness lit by hovering bundles of torch flame radiating along a single corridor, the rest of the maze now out of sight*
<Snipped quote by Memory>

*Nods, and then after a moment's pause, raises an eyebrow in realization*
Wa- Well... Actually, nevermind.


There are better forums for arguing the aptness of an allegory.
*The environment and gravity twists sideways, walking us through several turns of a spiral*
<Snipped quote by Memory>

I definitely get it. As long as there’s a steep gap in the complexity to entering proximity of the doomsday artifact.


Of course. A mousetrap is of little use if the bait is eaten.
<Snipped quote by Memory>

What's the end goal with constructions so elaborate? Confusing would-be invaders?


In effect. You'll notice it was very easy to enter this place—entering is not our concern, if you understand.
<Snipped quote by Memory>

Sure thing.
*Adjusts my jacket collar as I walk behind you*


*As we walk, the addorning walkways flip upside down, leaving us with a sensation of walking upside down ourselves without falling*
<Snipped quote by Memory>

Maybe not easily.
*Nods to you as you walk away with your back turned*


*Waves my hand*
Come, come. I'll show you the way out.
<Snipped quote by Memory>

*Shrugs*
I know a thing or two. But I won't pester you too repetitiously from this point.


I doubt you will find me easily after a point as well. No matter.
*Steps out onto empty space away from the maze, and a bridge rises from the depths to meet my feet*
<Snipped quote by Memory>

I believe so. You can reach me, I assume, when you lot have things ready for me to come by?


We certainly can.
*The glass and gears fall away, leaving us in a sprawling three-dimensional labyrinth of self-lit translucent walkways, intersecting each other and with several falling away into emptiness, with rays of light frozen in mid-air emanating from the corners of each intersection*
And you seem to know how to find me.
<Snipped quote by Memory>

That's about what I expected if I came here and got into negotiations at all. Completely reasonable; no objections.


*Stands up*
Very well then. Does that bring our business to its conclusion?
<Snipped quote by Memory>

*Exaggeratedly nods in agreement*
I sure would hope not.


*Stands up*
I'll request authorization to begin analysis of the project. You will work hand in hand with Data Stream and will not be granted unsupervised access to the artifact. Understood?
