In practically a flash, Boggart was behind Chipp, radiating a cold mist onto the floor at Chipp's feet to slowly frost, then freeze, the boy in place. "All grown up now? Think you can handle everything? You have no idea just how this system works or what all I can do here, boy. And you think there's too much for me to learn? Me!? The creator of this fantasy you now inhabit!?" Boggart's hands reached up to Jacob's head. "There is no limit to my memo--!"

The moment a single finger touched Jacob's head, Boggart recoiled and gripped his ears, screaming in pain. A physical blast of darkness pulsed from his head, pushing everyone in the room it came in contact with. The machinery flickered and dimmed for a second before coming back on... Unbeknown to anybody, contact with Jacob's head allowed Boggart a brief and horrible link to all that went on in Jacob's mind. It truly did overwhelm him.

Jeff looked at Denny. "The seat's yours, at everyone's own risk. He's going mad, no doubt, but until everyone goes, I'm not sure he'll let us out. The other route? Everyone says 'no' and we see how he responds. Regardless, we just need to get this done."

"You have a good point there, Jeff." Vinas said. "I'm actually curious what he'd do if we'd all just refuse to do any more. I doubt he'd kill us. We've seen what happened to Grant after he got "kicked" after all; he just got locked up in a pod. Of course it's not too nice to be imprisoned, but I think of it this way; Aren't we trapped right now in the first place?"

"Of course, there's another way I've been thinking of - and I know the Computermaster can read our thoughts, but really, who of us hasn't thought about getting out yet by now?- which is to try to "overload" him, which is kind of the same as just letting our imaginations just go loose without anything to hold it back. We've all seen he's going crazy already while we're only halfway through our cast, think what would happen if we'd just use anything that comes up in our thoughts the next few area's? We do need to be careful not to go completely haywire like Jacob and Kira, but I think it could be a possibility."

"Anyways, Denny, just try to have fun doing your area, it's kind of stress-relieving to have some control, in a way." Vinas said, and leaned back on a wall.

"Alright then... without further ado..." Denny strode over to the desk, and sat down, with all he needed to know about using the system entering his head. Furiously typing for a few seconds, he motioned to the beam of light.

"Just try to enjoy, mkay?" Denny said to the group, before glancing over at Boggart, recovering from the pain. Even though he could read his mind, Denny couldn't help but thinking.

'Geez, I hope he doesn't stick around. He's giving me the creeps.'

"Wonder where this goes" Jacob said out loud picking himself up off the ground from the blast that had occurred when the computer master had touched Jacob's head. Before stepping into the beam of light, Jacob did a little jig and pointed to his head "can't touch this" he said with a smile, then jumped into Denny's portal without waiting to see a reaction from the computer master or if anyone was following him.

Jeff couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head at Jacob's antics. As Jacob jumped through, Jeff looked over at Boggart, who was still seething and hissing black steam from the blast. "Understanding a human's mind, psychology, and imagination isn't a bad thing to want. But just keep in mind what it's costing you, and possibly us." Jeff slid out a card from his earthly deck and flicked it over to Boggart. It landed face-up, a pink Trap Card labelled "Numinous Healer".

Whether or not Boggart heard Jeff, would apply what was said, or would use the card, Jeff didn't bother checking. His head turned to Denny. "Don't make us as prone to danger as you are, 'kay?" One chuckle later, Jeff jumped straight into the light, disappearing from the lab until the world was ready.
