We're live.
Hello Etraya, this is Connor. Accelerator and I would like to share our recent findings after exploring the lower floors of the hospital with Yuri and Dimitri. Clint Barton was also involved, but he is no longer here. I apologize if this is new information for you.
Please keep in mind we are strongly advising against investigation.

@Accelerator
There's dangerous shit down there. Everyone had better read this, because it's fucking important.

@RK800
Floors 1-5 are relatively empty. The 8th floor is primarily filled with alien technology, which I believe is a direct correlation to being disconnected from the network from that point onward. You will not be able to reach anyone if you are in danger.

@Acclerator
Once you get to the 8th floor the oxygen levels start to drop. The companion bots will get aggressive and attack you, too. It's like white blood cells attacking foreign entities in someone's body for protection, it's obvious we aren't supposed to be down there.

@RK800
Correct. After the 10th floor, humans were only able to continue with specialized assistance. There are 100 floors that we are aware of. The atmospheric conditions become increasingly unstable, including a change in the planet's gravitational force, with a high concentration of carbon dioxide and helium. The severe change in gravity causes an elevation of heat, and I was compromised. No one can survive it.

@Accelerator
Don't go down there unless you're prepared to deal with being in an environment like the goddamn core of a planet.
I think that's about it. Connor, you sure it's no problem altering the network so all this is public?

@RK800
Since I'm able to access the network after downloading its signature, any adjustments I've made are temporary. No permanent alterations to Etraya's actual network code has been made, so there shouldn't be any issue.

( ooc: responses will be from either/both connor and accelerator! feel free to threadjack, go wild, etc. coding credit to tessisamess )
( edit: i forgot to include this but pretty pls w a cherry on top fill out connor's permissions ♥ but if you don't that's ok, i'll reach out of we get into infomod territory! )

Sounds interesting. Oxygen isn't really an issue for me. I've survived the vacuum of space. The heat might be, although it depends on whether you mean ambient temperature or actual immediate sources of heat like fire or molten materials. Having to continually excrete fire suppressant would be tiring.

[no records of this username until the past few days. they must be new.]

I was referring to ambient temperature.
The rise in heat was related to the increase in gravity - I was not designed to withstand it.

I wasn't able to calculate the survival rate of those already experienced with extreme conditions. I still believe trespassing onto the lower levels isn't a good idea for anyone.

Ah, well, gravity isn't an issue for a liquid cat.

If a second expedition were to be needed.

[They are not sorry for the pun, but while they enjoy playing a cat, they are willing to do things if their comfort and continued existence was threatened.]

[reconstruction]

[liquid...cat...]

Could you elaborate? If you don't mind.

[definecat]

It's not that difficult to explain. My kind are shapeshifters from another world. We are fluid and capable of taking many forms and adapting them to our need. I just happen to like being a cat.

[For now they'll just leave out the part about taking forms often involving possessing and taking over control of a member of the required species rather than just transforming into one. It's not like they're hunting for a host.]

[reconstruction]

[oh.

okay.

processing...]

Thank you for explaining. You're the first I've spoken to with those abilities, and we didn't have beings like you in my world. That's very interesting.

[understatement of the year.]

The environmental conditions are in line with moving towards the core of the planet, like we said.

Your fire suppressant could fuck with things down there. Don't do anything idiotic.

[Namely, it could mess with the chemical balance of the cooling liquid Aurora is using for her brain, and Accelerator would rather not see her get hurt again.]

[definecat]

Forgive my poor wording. The fire suppressant is to protect me. I don't needlessly spew chemicals around. And a trip down there seems a lot like work.

[levelshift]

It is. It's not a trip you do for fucking kicks.

[definecat]

Still, if there were a reason to go down there, it won't be impossible for me. I can survive in all the situations you've mentioned so far.

[levelshift]

You some kind of tardigrade?

[He's only half-joking.]

[definecat]

I'm a Klyntar. Although I prefer to be a cat.

[levelshift]

Never heard of a Klyntar before. What the hell is that?

[definecat]

You probably don't want to know. But as there is no other here...it doesn't really matter.

[levelshift]

Why wouldn't I want to know?
