"Hello, I take it the two of you had some fun?"

Permalink

"Yeah. A lot."

Permalink

"I'm glad, do you want to get into things right away or look around first?"

Permalink

"...Look around, I think."

Permalink

"Alright, there's two ways to get around, you can either use the walkways or you can use the transit platforms. They'll fly you around either quickly to a specific destination or along whatever path you want to go down."

Permalink

"Transit platforms, I think."

Permalink

"There's one just over there, do you want me to come with you?" She points to a circular ramp leading up to a small raised platform.

Permalink

"I think I'll be fine just - browsing for a little bit." She needs to calm down, mostly.

Permalink

"Alright, the platform should be pretty self explanatory. They can either use holographic or mental controls depending on your preference."

Permalink

"Thanks."

She uncurls enough of her telepathy to interface with the controls mentally, and just... Explores. Tries to calm down.

There are a lot of shelves of books but it's not just books there are also scrolls, odd looking crystals, rolls of film, and a number of other storage mediums. There are frequent murals, typically depicting people or things people make. Tables and chairs occasionally appear between the stacks and there are windows that allow a look into various cozy spaces and workrooms.

She browses a little. Reads some. Though she can't really focus.

Then, once she's calmed down, she heads back to the others.

Permalink

"Hi there, welcome back."

Permalink

"'Hey."

Permalink

"You seem pensive."

Permalink

"I want out of there. I'm not going to get any readier to go back. Still don't want to."

Permalink

"I'm sorry. There are alternatives but you've already said that you want to reunite with your family and I don't expect you to want to surrender control of your body for someone else to use until the escape is over with."

Permalink

"Yeah, I don't."

Permalink

"I'm really really sorry. I wish there was more I could do."

Permalink

"This's more than anyone else has done."

Permalink

"You're welcome then."

Permalink

"Let's get on with this, then."

Permalink

"Alright, let's go to a workroom then." Libby walks over to a small room with a few chairs and a table with a holographic display.

Permalink

River follows.

Libby brings up a 3D model of the facility. "Alright, there's a few different approaches we could take. The most straightforward would just be to fight your way out. This," she highlights a path through the facility, "would probably be your best path, though there's backups here and here."
