*Finally looks up at the displays to see if I can parse what they say*
It's a question about perception of reality and stuff. I dunno, that's why I called it lazy philosophy.

@GalaxyRaider

I don't mind all of it, but some philosophy feels like it was written just to say words.
*The displays appear to be reading normal for critical safety systems, but that CPU load has increased recently*

Can the tree make a sound if the sound is not perceived, or something like that.
*Walks around the room as you check the displays, making sure no one else is around*

@GalaxyRaider

Really? Obviously it does?
*The room is pristine other than a thick layer of dust coating the floors and screens*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Not really a joke. Just a lazy philosophy question.

@GalaxyRaider

*Looks up at the displays, absorbing the information*
It's not a joke? What point are they trying to make?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

The alloy is, anyway. Not the raw metal.
*Looks down at the door then into the plant from where we stand*
Eh, if a tree falls in the forest and all that?
*Chuckles lightly*

@GalaxyRaider

*Walks in after you, to an empty room hosting an analogue status-reporting system, along with a digital counterpart*
I never really understood that tree joke.

Calzintinium alloy. A creation right from Dad's mind.

@GalaxyRaider

Sounds like something your dad would've named.
*Pulls the handle and the door falls over backward*
Looks like subtle's out.

We should be fine right here at least. I've got us covered here at the entrance.
*Metal envelops my arm, as though part of my usual suit formed just over my arm. A blade with a purple neon light around its edge ejects from the wrist and I slash at the bolts, cleaving them cleanly and leaving the metal where contact is made singed and nearly molten*

@GalaxyRaider

*Whistles*
What's that thing made of?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Right, right.
*Looks up and down for any security measures and people in the same way I did at the warehouse*

@GalaxyRaider

*The plant is full of antiquated security systems that get more hardened the closer they are to the reactors, which are nearly completely sealed by concrete and lead*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Do I have to worry about any alarms?

@GalaxyRaider

Great question. Not if you disable them.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

We can make a stop to take care of it if need be. Priorities, though.

@GalaxyRaider

Priorities.
*Points at a bolted dumb-door*
Can you get us through there? I'm going to avoid loading code as much as I can until we're through.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

And the big bad viruses.

@GalaxyRaider

Yeah... that too. Someone should have the bandwidth to take those things out though.
