Thanks for taking care of that... Er, thing.

<Snipped quote by System>

Right...

@GalaxyRaider

Maybe we can find out...
*Works on unfreezing mom*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

There's still the unknown entity. We don't know anything about what it's doing here.

@GalaxyRaider

Or where it went.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Is it automatic security or targeted attacks by someone though?

@GalaxyRaider

These viruses have some kind of unnatural strategy, but unless mom is directing them...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

*Feels the presence of both and freezes the weight in place as well*
So no easy mode then?

@GalaxyRaider

If all that's being tested is reaction time, I can live with that.
*Continues until a thick sheet of ice covers each path in the maze*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Usually they say it has to get worse before it gets better, but I think we already did the "getting worse" bit.

@GalaxyRaider

*A multi-ton weight appears above our heads, and a sword swings from our right—I notice the sword swing and freeze it*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

*Does the same*
I'd like that to be true.

@GalaxyRaider

I think we've earned it at this point.
*Spires of ice breach the ground and freeze the phoenix with its wings outstretched*
What an awful day...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

*Cracks my fingers*
Let's do it then. I'll opt for freezing, if it's all the same to you.

@GalaxyRaider

This should be easy mode from here on.
*My fingers fly across the keyboard, freezing swaths of viruses in place*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Right. So what did you want to do with this again?

@GalaxyRaider

*A second keyboard is generated in front of you*
Let's find all of the viruses and take them out or freeze them solid.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

*Looks to you and motions to the terminal in a 'ta-da' sort of fashion*
If I had this level of control in my world then things would be way easier.

@GalaxyRaider

Good!
*A guardian statue materializes on one side of us, while a large polyhedron appears next to it*
Usually we don't get this kind of access either.
*A keyboard manifests in front of us*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Oh, you know. Treating stuff that feels like the real world like any old file and feeling weird about it. Standard stuff.
*Attempts to access the copy of the terminal*

@GalaxyRaider

New for you?
*As soon as you execute the copy, a terminal window materializes in front of you*
