[23:26] <abrasiveCaliginist> I see your journey through the Thinny has yielded a different bounty.
[23:27] <strikingBelladonna> I don't believe one could refer to this as either a journey or a bounty.
[23:27] <strikingBelladonna> But, hello to you as well, Harken.
[23:27] <abrasiveCaliginist> Regardless, I'm thankful. I have less extreme measures to ensure your survival.
[23:28] <strikingBelladonna> Hopefully ones which can be put into play in relatively short order, if this screen is to be believed, then impact is closer than I would prefer.
[23:28] <abrasiveCaliginist> Yes. I'm sending you a download link to a "game".
[23:29] <abrasiveCaliginist> Though I think it's more of an esoteric escape mechanism than an actual game.
[23:29]  * abrasiveCaliginist has sent a link! SburbDownload!
[23:29] <strikingBelladonna> This is the game Luna and Vera were referring to, isn't it?
[23:29] <abrasiveCaliginist> Yes.
[23:30] <strikingBelladonna> If you'd please elaborate, I would be ever so grateful.
[23:30] <abrasiveCaliginist> Why you don't have it yet escapes me. I downloaded it while dancing to troll Marvin Gaye.
[23:30] <abrasiveCaliginist> Of course.
[23:31] <abrasiveCaliginist> I'm told that playing the game takes you... Somewhere else. But you have to pay it forward.
[23:31] <strikingBelladonna> Pay it forward?
[23:31] <abrasiveCaliginist> Yes.
[23:32] <strikingBelladonna> You mean send the link to another so that they might also escape.
[23:32] <abrasiveCaliginist> You can do that for me. Ceran already has the game; he can help you out. If not, then yes, please send him the link.
[23:33] <strikingBelladonna> He's the robot, correct?
[23:33] <abrasiveCaliginist> Yes.
[23:33] <strikingBelladonna> I was under the impression he was from your planet.
[23:34] <abrasiveCaliginist> No, he's from yours.
[23:34] <abrasiveCaliginist> If I can see him in the viewport, he's an earthling.
[23:34] <strikingBelladonna> Oh, that does not work on people of your planet? Interesting.
[23:34] <abrasiveCaliginist> Nope. It probably relates to settings on their chat clients.
[23:35] <strikingBelladonna> I will take your word for it then.
[23:36] <strikingBelladonna> Tell me, Harken, have you ever seen a place like this before?
[23:36] <abrasiveCaliginist> I honestly can't say I have, Lexi.
[23:36] <abrasiveCaliginist> It looks like something from a horror flick.
[23:37] <abrasiveCaliginist> Why do you ask?
[23:37] <strikingBelladonna> .Well, apparently my father hid this place's existence from me, and this monitor is tracking the meteor impacts
[23:38] <abrasiveCaliginist> Do you think that's its entire purpose?
[23:38] <strikingBelladonna> I have been unable to discover any alternative ones.
[23:38] <abrasiveCaliginist> Then, if your father knew... There must have been a reason he left.
[23:39] <abrasiveCaliginist> If I had to guess, there must be countermeasures somewhere.
[23:39] <strikingBelladonna> I don't know, there are too many unknowns.
[23:40] <abrasiveCaliginist> Roland says your father isn't the type to abandon you.
[23:40] <abrasiveCaliginist> So there must be a reason.
[23:41] <strikingBelladonna> I did not believe he abandoned me.
[23:41] <strikingBelladonna> Roland is correct.
[23:42] <abrasiveCaliginist> Good.
[23:42] <abrasiveCaliginist> I'm trusting you, you know.
[23:43] <abrasiveCaliginist> My life will be in your hands.
[23:43] <strikingBelladonna> Why will your life be in my hands?
[23:43] <abrasiveCaliginist> Because you'll have a significant degree of control of the environment around me.
[23:44] <abrasiveCaliginist> The ability to manipulate objects, be it moving or otherwise changing them.
[23:44] <strikingBelladonna> Harken please.
[23:45] <strikingBelladonna> As much as I am ordinarily fond of your tendencies to explain things unclearly, I would appreciate a more whole explanation right now.
[23:46] <strikingBelladonna> Why will I possess these powers over you?
[23:46] <abrasiveCaliginist> That's what the game does; it allows you to change the environment around your client to help them enter. How this miraculous technology works isn't in any manual or accompanying material for the game, and Roland is dead silent on the topic.
[23:46] <abrasiveCaliginist> "Enter" being a term for "escape meteoric destruction".
[23:47] <strikingBelladonna> Thank you.
[23:47] <abrasiveCaliginist> Of course, Sai.
[23:47] <strikingBelladonna> Then the meteors are coming to your planet as well?
[23:47] <abrasiveCaliginist> Yes, it would seem so.
[23:47] <abrasiveCaliginist> I got this information from Innana.
[23:48] <strikingBelladonna> An apocalypse on two planets simultaneously.
[23:48] <strikingBelladonna> If that isn't serendipitous then I don't know what is
[23:48] <abrasiveCaliginist> Coming to a city of the damned, apparently.
[23:49] <strikingBelladonna> Wait, did you go back to Sheol?
[23:49] <abrasiveCaliginist> No. Of course not.
[23:49] <strikingBelladonna> Well, it's good to see you're not entirely devoid of sense occasionally.
[23:49] <abrasiveCaliginist> That's probably the worst thing that could happen when I have music here.
[23:50] <strikingBelladonna> Give me a moment to travel to my computer, and I will connect to you.
[23:51] <strikingBelladonna> Be right back.
[23:51] <abrasiveCaliginist> Of course.
