*You arrive at the base of a hastily-constructed house built onto the edge of a cliff*
Ah, hello. Are the side effects worse than anticipated?

@Etcetera

Hm? Side effects?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

*Rolls my eyes*
We were asked to help quell threats while every other resource is dealing with Nemid. We really shouldn't.

@Multifarious

Pff.
*Waves my hand dismissively and opens a portal to the location*
You're opposed because you're thinking too much. Let the others handle it, come on!
*Grabs you by the arm and drags you through with me*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

Please don't do this to me.

@Multifarious

C'mon! We're not the only ones here, so it's not the end of the world. When was the last time we had a little one on one adventure?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

So we should just stay here and continue to keep an eye on things.

@Multifarious

Orrrr~

Myriad Reality

*Captures the output stream and projects myself into it*
If you're viewing this, we've most likely met. Either that, or you're someplace you shouldn't be.
*Chuckles*
Unfortunately, Lab 14 appears to have completed a partial reboot, and this is a consequence of that process. Ideally, these will not become more than a nuisance, but that is something I cannot guarantee. If you need me, I will be attempting to shut down the system at the following location.
*A small dimension flashes below me*
Because of the limitation of my current state, that process may not be expeditious. My apologies. In ideal circumstances, the system will not continue to degrade, but if it does, I offer my apologies for that as well. Data Stream, signing off.
*The projection is replaced by the random cycles of individuals again*

@Etcetera

*Blinks*
Well that doesn't sound like a danger, necessarily.

Myriad Reality

*Additional projections of other beings with scrambled and incoherent sentences pepper the same areas as before*

@Nimda

I don't get what the big idea is.

Myriad Reality

*My presence is projected across several different locations and mediums, but is plagued by distortion and corruption*
There isn't— never have— boot sequence includes— reality failed to gener— please restart system.
*My image is overtaken by static and blinks out of existence*

@Nimda

*Inside of an outpost of sorts somewhere*
Do you, uh, think that's something they'd want us to look into?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

I thought so.
*Hikes up the steps to a large building’s entrance quickly, getting ahead of you*
Take care of your stuff quick, then. Not sure how long I’ll be here.

@Valiance

Hm.
*Waves you off*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

And you're not going to use tagging along with me as an excuse to pop in while you're there?

@Valiance

...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

Uh huh, and you're not taggin' along because you care too, are you now?
*Grins and shakes my finger at you*

@Valiance

*Remains stoic, looking off at the houses around us*
I'm just taking care of our accounts with Briz. Like you said, a lot to do.
