*Motions toward the house*
This is Lab 14. As they say, it's more than meets the eye.

@Etcetera

Oh, I thought you were living here or something.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

In standard and/or ideal conditions, your intuition is correct.

@Etcetera

So where is it?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

The projections are unlikely to harm anyone. Lab 14 in a corrupted, autonomous state, is not necessarily in the same class as "no danger," however.

@Etcetera

Well, if it’s just a lab, then at least it can’t move... Right?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

You were affected by the reality flux, correct?

@Etcetera

We noticed the big talking hologram of you, if that’s what you mean. And other people.

*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~

*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.
