*Tari lounges on a digital blue sofa before Theo.* Tari: Behold the proprietor of this domain. *The couch dissolves into pixels, sending Tari tumbling.* Heh, most of it, anyway. *She rises.* Just fragments I salvaged from the void before Sheridan’s core collapsed, mixed with Evelyn’s scattered data. Theo: It was surreal… like becoming the universe itself. *He pauses.* Can we visit the others now? Tari: Not yet. *She wanders through the glitching landscape.* Think of Lucks’ containment room. We’re unstable, but here, we’re safe.
