Correct. And we’ll pull you out under any circumstance in which we ascertain it’s safe to do so.
*Stops and faces you*
Last chance to back down. You’re absolutely certain about this?

@Armed Forces

What kind of doctor would I be if I ran away from a case I already took up? 'Course I'm certain!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

So long as it doesn’t sway you.
*We approach a door where a couple of soldiers in full mechanical armor who stand several feet taller than the average man stand posted, and they step out of the way with a loud thud each and they also salute as we enter into a room not quite as grand as the bridge. Inside rests a console, a few workers, a small assortment of other machinery and terminals and a round, silver pad on the floor*

@Armed Forces

*Glances at the disk*
I'm guessing that's my one-way ticket in?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

My rank. You’ll find we’re not quite so defeatist, doctor.

@Armed Forces

*Grins in satisfaction*
In this practice, a few doses of dark humor is the norm. It's good for the soul.

The person running the show in the hospital is just one of their senior doctors, unfortunately. Bless their soul, they're making due with what they have, and that includes leadership.
*Many members of the ship staff stop and salute as we walk past, though I keep my attention on our discussion*
Once you leave the safe zone, I can point you in the direction of our guys. They're nearby, and have been affected for less time than the actual population of course.

@Armed Forces

That would be perfect. I'll take a look at the stages of progression.
*Laughs after the salute*
Is that in honor of your rank or in honor of the dead doctor walking?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

Of course. I’ll accompany you to the transmission bay, in case there are any further questions before you depart.
*Turns away from the view port and walks past you to a door in the back*

@Armed Forces

*Gazes down at the society before following along*
Do I have any point of contact to reach once I’m there?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

Sure thing. And you can teleport yourself?

@Armed Forces

To that level of precision? I'll leave that much to you if you have the means.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

One more thing.
*Reaches out and holds an earpiece toward you, in the palm of my hand*
We’ll provide you additional resources at request, so long as we can get your hands on it. And if you’d prefer to head down with any additional resources at the onset, I recommend asking for them now. For similar reasons to the transportation restriction, this will be the last time you see the inside of our ship until we can confirm it won’t spread.

@Armed Forces

I've brought everything I'll need with me. But if anything else crops up, I'll let you know.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

A small handful of our doctors, who went under the initial premise that the plague was more conventional.

@Armed Forces

Nothing like a mystery sickness. All right, I think that about does it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

We’re unsure exactly what the influence even is- If, for whatever reason, you become exposed to the “disease” during your entry, it would be exposing the safe population unnecessarily. Would rather just skip that possibility entirely, until we know how it’s transmitting.

@Armed Forces

Understandable. Are any of your men down there at all?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

I like the way you’re thinking. However, I’m barring you from taking any form of linear transport onto the world- You’ll have to warp. And once you’re there, I’m only going to be able to provide you support and communicate with you remotely until the mystery is solved at minimum. For reasons I’m sure you understand.

@Armed Forces

That's fine, but it's not clear to me what the problem is with normal travel.
