And between the three of us, we'll likely defeat the security of each room relatively quickly.

@Etcetera

If the first room is anything to go by. It wasn't terrible.

*Nods*
I've found some information in the meta-logs. Someone else has been to this lab since I last visited.
*Unplugs the cable, which retracts into my shoulder*

@Etcetera

Which... Means that they also got through security.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

Not beyond a possible projection, no.

@Etcetera

Nothing to do but keep going, then.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Certainly. And there is, of course, the distinct possibility that even I and this mode of reasoning is generated by the system to deter further escape attempts. I do have doubts that the system would be aware that I possess such information, however. I apologize for not establishing a baseline before we began.

@Etcetera

Such doubt also possibly being system generated.

You don't. Simulation jumps are unlikely, given that a single artificial environment should be sufficient for containment under normal operating conditions.

@Etcetera

All that said while we're dealing with a potentially self-evolved system from your original design.

Even so, I'm curious as to how the system is aware of X's existence. It was locked away before I met X.

@Etcetera

I've met him once and it we hate each other from that interaction. It's like it was targeted.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

I see. I apologize for that development.

@Etcetera

I'm no stranger to things like that. Countering being attacked with bad acting was the hard part.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

What did the system generate?

@Etcetera

X. Being racist as heck.

*Nods*
I had also taken measures to verify that the experience was artificial. It isn't a fast process.

@Etcetera

For me, it wasn't very consequential. Just... Uncomfortable.

Weird.
