Even if you manage to get away, which you definitely can, don't leave before having a little bit of fun!
*Gravity in the local area outside the window suddenly shifts sideways and intensifies, causing both of you to fall back downward into the glass of the building, breaking it but not shattering through, such that you land oriented sideways to the ground. I step from the shattered window onto the wall*

@Melodious

*A cannon materializes on top of my hand, and I blast the glass you're standing on and book it down the building*

*The glass that that wall is made of shatters, then flies inwards toward us inexplicably, cutting at you repeatedly*

@Melodious

*Anywhere it cuts leaves a blue streak on my skin—a gale blows in the opposite direction, coating anything it touches with a thick sand that slows down anyone standing on it, and I leap out the window*

I'm certain we can't afford to lose anything here. We have news to spread thanks to ES.

@Crew

*My hand is engulfed by a massive gauntlet and I punch through the wall toward the outside*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

I know you shouldn't suffer because I dragged you into this.

@Crew

You’re really certain the stakes are high enough that peace isn’t an option?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

... Hm. Sorry, bud, but I'm choosing the hard way for you. You're not getting punished because of me.
*A strong gust of wind blows from my feet in all directions*

@Crew

*Stands up*
You really think we should fight our way out of this?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

*Frowns and pouts*
Wait, really?

@Melodious

*After a few moments of eye contact with you, my gaze shifts from analytical to intense distaste*

<Snipped quote by Server>

*Takes long looks back and forth between you two a couple of times*
Uh huh. Then hands behind backs and down on the floor.

@Inimical

*Breaks eye contact to get on my knees and holds my hands behind my back*

Quite a few claims with not as much evidence to support as you confidently thought. Even bold enough to accuse us of being the ones of inducing your state of- I assume- ethereality? I think I’ve heard enough of these grasping at straws. You have a final warning to comply.

@Inimical

*Flicks my eyes between everyone present, my gaze lingering moments longer on Zyland*
...Fine.

<Snipped quote by Server>

Looking at things the way they are from our perspective, you two are dangerous intruders on private property, under circumstances you shouldn’t be, attempting corporate espionage, getting caught, and refusing compliance.

@Inimical

We arrived with proper permission, and we can demonstrate that much. Whatever you left on your property that pulled us into that state is the real problem. You'll find we haven't touched a single document, record, or anything else, and have been trying to leave this entire time.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

You’ll find we have no evidence of you two anywhere on site all day, except for here and now.

@Inimical

And you're threatening lethal force over it? What exactly is on 1398 to trigger that kind of reaction?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

Mhm. We are more than fully aware of you sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong. That the behavior of a couple of trapped victims?

@Inimical

If your camera systems can pick up anything, you can see us trying to talk to the security guard before realizing we were stuck in some limbo state. Do you think we would have tripped the alarm like that if we were trying to sneak in?
