Is that when it got you?

[ she did say she kicked it when they were in the vents. ]

[shiftingwinds]

While it was caught, we... tried to use the podium in that room. We were supposed to - recalibrate something.

...so we did, even though something was making us feel... tired, and like someone else would handle it. When we did, our bodies changed, painfully. It was - it was a lot like what I said happened in the simulation room when I investigated it there.

[...]

It didn't last long. They went back to normal, and that was when the creature got free of the door. I kicked it when it started to open its beak, since the last time it did that, another beak came out and attacked us...

[she sighs]

It really... didn't like that much. It fought back. It stabbed my leg with its tail, and I - lost consciousness sometime around then, because of all the blood. I don't know how we got back. When I woke up, I was in the pod.

[dotcom]

... right.

Thanks for telling me. I know it must have been difficult to recount it, especially so soon afterwards.

[shiftingwinds]

...it's okay. It wasn't pleasant, but - if hearing about it helps you figure out anything about what's going on here, I'll retell it as many times as it takes.

[dotcom]

I wonder how all of these things connect...

With ours, the choice at the end seems like it was more about testing us how far we'd go.

[shiftingwinds]

...that seems to be a common theme here - how far will we go to get what we want...?

[...]

Because of the similarities between what happened in that room with the recalibration and what happened in the simulation room, though, I wonder if it's... maybe a hint as to what started all of this. [she sighs] Of course I can't know for sure, but...

When you get to talk to the Avatars, maybe they'll have some kind of idea...

[shiftingwinds]

They might. If I learn anything from it, I'll let you know.

[dotcom]

[ he nods. ]

Thanks. I'll see if I can dig anything up.

[shiftingwinds]

You're welcome. [she smiles] ...and, thanks for your hard work all the time. We all rely on you a lot, you know.

[dotcom]

I just do what I consider my job.

[shiftingwinds]

Really... well, the rest of us are lucky that you take your work so seriously.

[dotcom]

[ he makes a face. ]

Yup.

[shiftingwinds]

[well



she can't really fault him for making that face, considering all of the shenanigans they get up to]

I'm sure we'll all try to do better, though.

[dotcom]

Yeah. I expect it.

[ it's not really meant as an insult. ]

[shiftingwinds]

Well, I suppose I can't speak for any of the others, but I'll try to live up to your expectations, at least.
