I'm still not sold on how the phone thing actually works.

@Etcetera

The best way I can describe it is if a hurricane was a storm of reality manipulation. Within it, there is such a high level if chaos going on that it’s hard to ever guess what’s happening inside. All I can say is that the storm is, or was, massively amplifying the signal and just distributing it everywhere it could. But, this guess is only the best I can do.

This thing is still going?

@Etcetera

Isaac said he watched the storm dissipate to make absolutely sure that she was gone. Of course, given the nature of such storms, I would be willing to bet they can move instantaneously, much like we do with portals or teleportation. Combined with the fact that pure Outside would have absolutely shredded everything left, I’d say the storm still harbors what we may be looking for. Which means, hopefully, it continues to harbor the who as well.

How we even intend to search to begin with. Existence is huge.

@Etcetera

Surgespace storms occur very rarely, and much more rarely the farther you get from our boundary. At least, with what knowledge I’m working with. So, we’re going stormchasing.

...Maybe let's not go.

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

We should plan first.

@Etcetera

*Stops just short of the portal*
What more is there to plan?

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Yes! We’ve got to go for it. I can prevent anyone who goes from getting ripped apart with my magic.

@Balance

Well that is fantastic as well. I still need to retrieve some equipment though, so feel free to go with Techi.
*Looks to Eva*
When this is settled, I’ll take a look at you.

Then let's go!!!

@Etcetera

My equipment isn’t the greatest for dealing with Outside.
*Opens two portals in front of me, and points to the one on the left*
Meet me there. I’m going to retrieve what I can, and make sure the journey won’t kill me.

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

There's still the problem of getting the signal into Existence unless it's right on the very edge.

@Etcetera

That’s a very real gripe. I do believe that it’s possible for that to be the case, but it won’t be forever, so if we want to act on an opportunity like this, this would be the time.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Yes! Right? Do you think there’s hope? If the storm threw the phone out into the Outside, it’d be utterly destroyed. Where else could it be?

@Balance

The nature of the storm, the Surgespace is that it’s physically the peak example of the instability that can occur when you mesh our space, with that of the Outside. Isaac is far more of an expert on the material than I am, so it’s a shame we can’t consult him for this, but I believe that, if some semblance of the phone still exists and is detectable from beyond the reach of the storm, then she may be too. No guarantees of course.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Well what other choice is there?

@Etcetera

Well, strategy is something of a heated discussion back in Big X meetings, but I feel that we’ve been presented an opportunity here that we could put energy into more efficiently?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Since when has that ever stopped me?

@Etcetera

I am far from capable of stopping you if you actually wish to do that. I just feel the need to make sure you’re aware, lest you hurt yourself too.
