That’s exactly what it is. To people, anyway. To random objects, doesn’t seem that way.
*Nudges a pen on the receptionist’s desk, rolling it across*

@Crew

We could use that to write out a message to them... adding to the phantasmic feel.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

I’d be more concerned if you had.
*A humanoid wisp walks through you, as though leaving the building. They stop for a second when they do, turning their head to stare at you with tense body language for just a moment before shaking their head and disappearing into the void, the door closing behind them.*

@Crew

...I'll go ahead and say it. It's like we're ghosts.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

Something tells me that would be too easy.
*Pulls out a thin, clear device that seems to be pretty much entirely just a screen*
…
Yeah, was too easy. Nothing’s getting out.

@Crew

*Taps against the cosmic wall*
I’ve never seen anything like this.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

I imagine that’s a good thing, then.
*The lobby’s lights flicker, and almost seem to dim a bit, but nothing that happens generates any sound unless we are the source*
Question is, do we wait for an attack, or try to seek them out?

@Crew

Can you send a message to anyone outside to let them know what’s going on?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

*It loads without issue*

@Crew

Whatever this is, it’s not interfering with my data.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

We can work through this together. And if it’s any consolation, with these being targeted attacks on IA organizations… The killer probably only wants one of us.

@Crew

...
*Holds out my arm and experimentally attempts to load the data for a cannon weapon*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

Don’t lose your head. We don’t know anything yet.

@Crew

I'm completely in the dark when it comes to metaphysical effects like whatever this is.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

*It appears exactly as it did from a distance, as though peering into the night sky with no light pollution. It emits no sound either, and neither does anything else in the building when it should.*
I at least get the idea this is some kind of effect and not actually destroying anything or hurting anyone.
*Goes and stands in front of the reception desk, looking down at a black wisp in the shape of humanoid figure where the receptionist would be, then looks around at the rest of the lobby, taking in the dead silence*

@Crew

I may be out of my league, here...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

*The ‘barrier’ comes to a halt at the building’s edge, pressing against the door frame and all windows, and giving the appearance that we are a building floating alone in the void of space, and after this becomes apparent, I stop to catch my breath*
I sure hope so…

@Crew

*Walks to the front of the room and inspects the wall of cosmos*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

Not in the slightest.
*Puts both arms in front of my face and blasts through the front door of the building, running to the other end of the lobby before turning to look at the encroaching cosmos again*

@Crew

Then we’ll find something out here.
