Haha. Yeah. Just imagine having six to eight of those all at least 11 lbs. In one box.

@Galvanize

Would it be accurate and adequate to call you Super Meatboy?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

So you're resisting it?

@Etcetera

No. We're not trying to resist it. That job is done. We are working out how to delve into it, to get that Piece.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

It's impressive, but... why?

@Etcetera

Resource management. We've run into the same problems as pretty much every party when dealing with the leakage. We manage everything we try throwing at it from here.

I was thinking more of a bookcase, but now this feels like Indiana Jones.

@Etcetera

I see that.
*When we hit the bottom, aside from the tile platform, the entire room is what looks to be a high-tech command center of some kind. Darksteel rests in a chair on the far end of the room, sitting up, but apparently sleeping, due to his slow breathing and lack of attentiveness*
Welcome to what's been our home for the past few months.

Um... wow.
*Follows*

@Etcetera

I know. All it needed was to be a staircase for it to be cliche.
*Once we're low enough, a panel closes above us and lights begin to flicker on as we pass them*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

Not a huge rush, but sure.

@Etcetera

*Walks underneath the upward-only staircase, and kicks a tile low on the wall, then walks over and steps on another one on the floor, and it starts to lower, like an elevator. I wave you over*

Sometimes it's all you need.

@Etcetera

You want to follow me downstairs? I'll try not to waste your time. Assuming you're in any kind of rush.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

Pretty easily at that. We asked the government nicely.

@Etcetera

How persuasive. You'll get far with that.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

Oh, there you are. Hi, Red.

@Etcetera

You got here a lot quicker than I expected. You found a ride, I guess?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

But either way, it's the principle of the matter rather than the wording itself.

@Etcetera

You two having fun?
