I am trying!

<Snipped quote by Zeal>

*my body flashes and I wave dash towards you using the momentum to add to my power and slams the staff into your back*

@Ignacious

Keep doing that!!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Zeal>

*Prioritizes the new set of data over the rest before being struck by the shockwave, crashing into the nearest wall, and the box stops humming and drops to the floor deactivated*

@GalaxyRaider

*Rushes over in attempt to reconnect it*

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*plants my feet and takes the hit whole, causing my feet to dig into the ground*
Trespassers will be dealt with, you have been warned.
*the book floats over my shoulders and flips to a page that has blue rune circles and a blast of magical energy throws you off of me, shortly after I go to smash the box*

@Zeal

Can we just talk??

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Whoever it is knocked me out in that hit! And I don't know!

<Snipped quote by Zeal>

No!

@Ignacious

Then do better at fighting! Or something!

<Snipped quote by Meta>

The consequences of your actions. Leave now or fall.

@Zeal

What does that mean?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Activate Matador protocol.
*the system throttles itself to snail-like speeds*

@Zeal

Who are you?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*pulls myself out of the wall*
I don't think you understand the danger we are in...

<Snipped quote by Zeal>

*points my staff at you*
Hellfire
*a small ember string forms between us and a massive beam of blue flame bursts from underneath you*

@Ignacious

That's why you two are around!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

<Snipped quote by Zeal>

*smashes into the wall with explosive impact*

@Ignacious

Wh—Are you dumb?? Help us!

<Snipped quote by Zeal>

… Data?

<Snipped quote by Meta>

What do I need to be looking for? Project name, file names, specific data entries?

@GalaxyRaider

Project Melody! Probably five thousand years ago!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*has a scared look in my face and looks back at the entity, eyes widen*

@Ignacious

You're the one who does combat, help!

<Snipped quote by Meta>

I think the result of me losing the gamble versus not taking it might have been the same if we have to treat your little trick as a lifeline and had to use one so quickly.

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

You okay?
*Turns to face you*

<Snipped quote by System>

Phenomenal. One second here…

@GalaxyRaider

I don't have a lot, so we need to get out soon!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Zeal>

*Barely steps in and blocks the beam with my staff wincing at the tremendous force backing it*
When did we get followed?

@Ignacious

I don't know!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*the book opens and floats above my hands and I point with the knife, a black beam firing at you near instantly*

@Zeal

*My face twists into a fearful expression and I duck, holding my hands over my head*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*like a mirage fading I slowly come to view from where you all entered, standing with a black book in one hand and an odd blade in the other*

@Zeal

...
*Frowns*
Who?
