*my hands glow red and white, as I try to keep the system from crashing, lights around us flicker, and I groan*

@Spiritblitz

*Chunks of corrupted data erupt like meteorites and shoot from the terminal through the room on each reboot, some heading directly toward us*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Copy that, infection first.

@Spiritblitz

*The screen becomes full of garbled text and errors, flashing red*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Got it, just to clarify. You want me to repair the terminal and bypass the security?

@Spiritblitz

We need to bypass the security before repairing any corruption.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Okay, that will be a problem. I’m gonna have to purge the bigger ones and replace them with adaptive code to reduce the chances of any interruptions.

@Spiritblitz

I can stop the glitches as soon as we get in. It might be unstable once that happens though, which is where your help will be invaluable.

**my eyes glow white and red and white, fire-like data flows on my skin as I interact with the text and closing off the sequences*
What happened to this?

@Spiritblitz

Glitches. It causes random power failures to force important bits to flip... if we’re lucky.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

That’s fine. I can do that.

@Spiritblitz

*Nods*
Okay. Let’s do this.
*Holds my hand to the terminal, which induces random beeps and corrupted text, followed by several restart sequences*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Yes, how do I pull it up?

@Spiritblitz

*Taps at a spot that pulls up a holographic screen*
I can help, but it may lead to corruption that you’ll need to repair.

<Snipped quote by System>

Its the easiest to change as it is just our appearance.
*raises my head*
I look cuter this way anyways.

@Spiritblitz

Right... so... the terminal?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

I suppressed the true form change. Too bulky for my taste.

@Spiritblitz

Why do both of you naturally change your appearance in our world?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

*frowns again*
I-I guess that’s fair.
*turns around crossing my arms*
Anyways, I am technically one of you now.

@Spiritblitz

You are? You don’t look any different.
