<Snipped quote by System>

*Leaves that process running while frantically narrowing a second search down to data gathered as a result of experiments on “Harmony”*

<Snipped quote by Zeal>

*A pylon ejects itself from the ceiling rapidly, sticking straight down and acting as an attractive force to your lighting, forcibly pulling the blade into itself and jerking your strike off target by mere centimeters*
… Baba yaga?

@GalaxyRaider

*The system starts to return a small set of results*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*Projects a holographic display from the box directly in front of my face and queries the term “Project Melody” in that time range*

@GalaxyRaider

*The fuzzy search function matches a huge amount of data, which slowly transfers to your device*

I took a gamble on potentially waking them up. It doesn’t look like I did.
*Glances down at the floating box, which still rests in the air, calmly humming*

<Snipped quote by Ignacious>

For the best.

@GalaxyRaider

*At this point, the box has an overview of the lab's resources, still transmitting slowly*

…
*Takes a moment to analyze the security systems remotely to make sure they are no longer on high alert to the others like before*

@GalaxyRaider

*The security appears to be fully active and engaged, but isn't responding, but contains a login entry from a user named "Oni"*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

*Sighs and then takes a real look at my immediate surroundings for the first time*

@GalaxyRaider

*The lab is surprisingly barren of equipment with a large frosted tube alongside one wall, and a system of pneumatic tubes navigating throughout the rest of the room and a few choice machines strewn throughout and bolted to the floor*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

I’ve never had to use one of these before in practice. I hope it’s good enough for Data, at least a little. Talk about throwing a project into the deep end.
*Takes a small red box from my pocket and lets it go floating into the air next to it, wirelessly pseudo-connecting to it and immediately starts rapidly processing the information provided to it and manipulating its own functionality with incredible malleability to what is being provided to it while I observe it for any errors*

@GalaxyRaider

*The terminal itself appears to default to a basic, slow, primitive protocol, and connects without issue*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

*Looks down at it and inspects information within it or connected to it to see what sort of input it is expecting, or what it is trying to output*

@GalaxyRaider

*The terminal reveals a horrific, disorganized directory of data, infrastructure controls, and every other system connected to and associated with the lab strewn about with no regard to order or criticality*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Sure.
*As I walk in, applies a blanket effect that every piece of tech that actively tries to analyze my person from this point forward registers me as Data himself, but only when they attempt to and it isn't forced otherwise*

@GalaxyRaider

*The facility whirs to life, and a piece of technology extends toward you from the floor, exposing a singular port*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

...
*Forces power to surge through the emitters for a moment far beyond their standard load flow, frying them in an instant*

@GalaxyRaider

*The emitters turn off and the web becomes unstable, spreading both toward and away from you*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

This screams magic.
*Looks for a source*

@GalaxyRaider

*The web seems to be attached to emitters on the wall itself*
