Slipping on his protective defenses, Courser sent his clone out to give Hevari a piece of his mind, and though she didn't turn around, she stopped dead in her tracks as the clone began to speak...and there was most certainly a harshness in her voice he had not heard before. So much so, even Cerberus stopped in his tracks, recoiling in fear at his master's darkening voice. You even go through my things, looks like my diary was left behind...oh well...no matter...I'll just crush you like the insect you are in a few moments...wouldn't want these viruses a chance to feast upon your carcass once things are said and done. Just know you brought this upon yourself, twink. Oh, and I'm getting a lot better treatment than I was in the "Family"...though, I doubt you know what they're actually capable of. Hope you "enjoy" being used like the disposable you are. She spoke, a seriousness that spread across the field. But as Cerberus was spoken to, the giant spikey began to wag it's tail, almost happily at Courser's words. But before he could do anything, he and Hevari continued onwards, if only to give herself some space from the viruses and let the navi get some lingering wounds.

But shortly after their "talk", Courser and his clone unleashed hell upon the viruses to get some chip damage in without his operator behind the PET. Both of his shots managing to ping against the Basher's metal exterior, whilst only one shot each hit the Lunar and Solaroids, one getting a slightly worse sting than the other, as they swung around another, getting into a better position for attacking Courser as the BigEye took both shots on the chin without so much as flinching, thanks to it's giant body. The BigEye responded in kind, launching itself up into the air as before, twirling around just a little bit as it made it's attack on Courser and upon falling back to the ground, nearly caught the navi beneath it's massive piston, popping his barrier like a bubble, cracking the panel it landed on as it's weight hit.

As he regained his balance, the Basher began to cock it's guns in retaliation, before sending a blast of buckshot his and his shadow's way, but thankfully for he, himself, and I, managed to get his shadow up in the nick of time, bullets passing through the new ethereal form and smacking his shadowy clone clean of the area before the Solaroid launched a trio of attacks that similarly passed through him, failing to heal any of the viruses in the process, no damage, no healing, right? And as the Solaroid began to charge up it's own beam of energy, launched a piercing beam...just as Courser managed to get his shield ready and blocked the blast like a super hero with spidery cracks across the watery implement, but it could easily deflect another shot if nothing else. As this happened, the massive creature launched itself skyward again, this time making another attempt on landing upon Courser, once more, it went sky high with the creature knocking Courser back a little bit from the pressurized air it emitted, before landing again and cracking another panel, but missing Courser by a mile, leaving the navi a little breathing room this time. And as that happened, the Basher launched another blast of buckshot...missing entirely because of the ethereal nature Courser took on.

Summoning his own trap against the viruses, waiting and ready, Courser struck out against the BigEye twice with his whips and landing both of his shots before the massive automaton launched itself again, attempting to crush Courser again...missing entirely again, as it was back where it was supposed to be again, before displacing a lot of the broken paneling across the field, once again missing Courser entirely...but a stray block of rock went flying way off into the distance, with a comical CONK, seemingly hitting Hevari in the back of the head, with a scream of echoing explitives and curses at Courser.

BigEye V2BigEye V2 (BigEye)

A large, red machine, with a single large eye in the middle. Its main form of locomotion is an equally large hydraulic press holding it up. BigEye has a very simple mission statement: jump up, and when you land, make sure there's a Navi between you and the ground. If the Navi isn't cooperating, shake the ground up so it'll work next time. Still, they have a little more variety in their attacks than one would think... This virus much prefers attacking to dodging, but if sufficiently spooked is capable of doing so as well as any other mobile virus. It will also never use its Tertiary Attack more frequently than every two actions. Due to both its size and attack patterns requiring a large amount of open space, it will never appear in a confined space.

Area: All

HP: 380
Element: Null

Primary Attack Damage/Effect: (Movement(High-Alt) + Knockback) Then 40 Null + Break + Panel Crack + Nova 1
Primary Attack Accuracy: C
Primary Attack Description: Leaps quickly into the air, knocking away anything it collides with, before stopping directly above an enemy. It will then immediately crash down. The impact of the fall creates an explosion.

Secondary Attack Damage/Effect: 30 Null + Piercing + Ground Attack + Chain(2) + Earthquake
Secondary Attack Accuracy: B
Secondary Attack Description: Jumps high into the air, then slams its press down onto the ground when it lands, making the ground shake, and forming a shock wave that zeroes in on enemies.

Tertiary Attack Damage/Effect: 50 Null + Break + Impact / 40 Null + Drop Attack
Tertiary Attack Accuracy: B / D
Tertiary Attack Description: Jumps, then lands with such force that it displaces nearby debris, which is sent flying skyward and dropped onto another enemy.

Special: SuperArmor: Immunity to Knockback, Microburst, Pull, Gravity, and similar effects.
Special: AirShoes
Special: The explosion does not trigger if the BigEye attacks a target on Broken/Missing terrain and misses. It will not fall into Broken/Missing terrain with its attacks unless forcefully pushed in.
Special: Earthquake: Whenever this metavirus lands when using its attack, all enemies touching the ground have their evasion reduced by 1 rank until the end of the next turn. This effect does not stack with other Earthquake instances, and does not affect allies of this metavirus.
Special: Chain 2: This attack, upon striking a target, may change directions towards a new target. This may be done up to 2 times in one attack.
Special: The second part of the tertiary attack does not trigger if the metavirus's target is not grounded. It also must hit a different target from the metavirus. For clarity's sake, it may hit nothing if there are no other valid targets.
Special: Can use Recover80 once.

(Where BigEye landed at with it's secondary attack)

Breathing a sigh of relief as he managed to escape the KillerEye trap unscathed and even got two of them downed in the same breath, Jazz was quickly on his way, turning hard left down the next hallway and continuing to scramble his way through the area in an attempt to escape, but before he could get too much further through what seemed to be a living area, he was quickly met with a duo of Metools and a very angry looking Scarecrow virus...and the Metools had been zapped into the third tier of the Snoozy family, which prompted Jazz to crack a remark at this. Whatcha got against the metools, huh?!They were enough of a challenge, ya bitch! Why ya gOtta make this even harder on me!? I didn't mean to let things get this far!Less talking and more running, Jazz! I don't think whatever that is gives a flying fuck what you want!BAH! Gimmie the BlueMoon, Guard and DollThunder! If one of those Snoozies hit me, I'm gonna die in my sleep!

Letting out a sigh at her manic navi, she complied as she slotted the three chips in one after another. But before she could continue on what she was doing, she got a strange little icon on her PET amongst the static and the craziness. But before she opened it, Jazz was flying off at as high a speed as he possibly could, reaching into the jacket to pull out a futuristic looking pistol. Small, lightweight and most importantly, powerful as hell. The pistol barely fit around his finger as he pushed it through to rest firmly on the trigger and with it, took real quick aim at the snooziest in the middle of the corridor he was rocketing through and pulled the trigger. The trigger clicked before launching a thin line of energy at the opposing enemy, a pinprick if nothing else would go through his target...and then an explosive reaction as that pinprick would widen out tremendously, likely enveloping the creature and erase it off the net, leaving little to nothing that even suggested it's mere existence.

As the weapon crumbled away, Jazz quickly held his arm outwards. A small buckler-sized shield began to form outwards and curved inwards from his hand. The small shield would have to be enough as Jazz tried to prevent himself from getting hit by the Snooziest's attack, that blue blob doesn't deserve to kill him in the first place. But as he was preparing his next set, Stephine tapped on the suprise email to get some words from the rabbit-beast's mouth, if nothing else, it'll help Jazz more than her leaving it unread. Alright Prose, lets see what you've got to say here...

As she opened it up, Jazz slid himself downwards, trying to keep his momentum as much as possible to duck and slide under any incoming attacks, if nothing else, it would give the Scarecrow a run for its money on targeting him. But as he managed to get himself back up and running, Jazz turned towards the aquatic lazy bones with his hand outstretched as he let loose a torrent of lightning at the creature before it could try and evade him, strands of lightning coming out across his fingers before converging on a single point...the Snooziest's body, ready to boil and bubble it to death with a good thousand plus volts of electricity, all across it's extremely conductive body. Almost outta here...almost...outta here... Jazz breathed, heavily sucking in air to keep himself from falling over unconcious, he needed to get out, even as his body ached for rest, for a chance to loosen up...but he couldn't give in just yet...he kept running, kept moving, arm outstretched if his reflective shield was still up. All the while, his body began to be encased in a trio of effects...a barrier wrapping around the outer layer of his defenses...then a casing closing in tightly around his body, just under his shield...and finally, a bright green glow, ready to attach and launch onto whatever attacks he had to use to get out of here.

As Jazz continued on through the desolate halls, the hare grumbling at himself as he tried to get a better way through the halls towards a potential exit point, his feet continuing to slap heavily against the paneling beneath as he continued to hold onto the cross he had transformed into. All the while, his head turned to see the sparks, the flickers of lights and it's motes beginning to coalesce into a creature...the sounds of static beginning to magnify into clicks and snaps as he picked up his pace, continued to run faster and faster like he was in some sort of horror movie as the creature behind him began to chase him, a "head" lifting up to taunt him...remind him of Craven Head from earlier...and the sounds of an old telephone working, ringing in his ears. Oh fuck you! You're having such a lark at me, why don't you-JUST RUN! I don't know what the fuck that is, but it looks like you'd be deleted if it caught you, my PET is acting buggy and I can't get a reading on it regardless! JUST FUCKING GET OUT OF THERE OLD MAN! Jazz began to retort to the creature behind him before snapping back at Stephine's voice, inhaling and shaking his head before snapping back to the front so he could keep running without slamming into an oncoming wall.

Jazz continued to rush, his processes making sure his lover's cross was kept in tact unlike last time. His eyes quickly reading over the scrawls that he could manage reading at this point, even with the jingle of tools and parts in his pockets echoing out across the area, he managed to make his way into what was considered an R&D department of sorts, he needed to continue through his facility...his head practically swiveling to catch a glimpse of the creature behind him...it had become some sort of serpent at this point, practically swallowing the corridors behind him as it chased his bunny ass, ready to devour him if it came to that. But before he could say anything to the oncoming creature, Stephine spoke up. Viruses up ahead! DemonEyes! OF COURSE! WHY NOT PISS IN MY CEREAL SOME MORE, GOD! NOT LIKE I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH ON MY PLATE AS IS! First I get posessed by my Ego, then I fuck up keeping a cybeast contained, NOW I'M GONNA DIE! He screamed out after Stephine finished, the hare obviously getting more than a little manic at the day he's had up to this point, but otherwise, he was still running. But before long, he began to take small hops while trying to keep his momentum, his smaller hops barely bringing him up off the ground, one, two, a half dozen small hops before launching himself off the ground with a small twirl in the air to try and hopefully avoid crossing the KillerEye family's eye lines, knowing full well he'd be slowed down if he was touched by them, before sliding across the ground for a second upon his landing, before pushing himself forward some more in an attempt to potentially miss getting hit by a stray beam from the DemonEyes.

Letting out a huff, Jazz felt data entering his sytems, then turning towards the left, he took a quick second to line up the attack with the conial area of effect his next chip had, making sure to keep moving as he did. Pushing his hand out, the navi let loose a loud blast of radio wave electricity, sparks flying forwards as he attempted to clip the two DemonEye viruses in it's area of effect, sparks and trails of light flashing forward with a heavy roar of energy, enough to dicombobulate whatever was caught in it's range, panels lighting up with energy as they doubled whatever damage that would happen to hit with, before the navi continued his way forwards, kicking off from where he was and rushing to get some more distance from whatever creature he was being chased by.

Rushing forward down the plateau from his last encounter, Courser began to follow two sets of prints in the snow, one obviously humanoid wearing heavy boots, and a second of far larger, pawprint-shaped prints that sank far deeper into the snow than the humanoid's. Regardless of size, he was on the right track, even getting a glimpse of the aquatic Cybeast, Squalo, breaching up from beneath the frigid waters and causing a splash he could practically feel from where he was at, water splashing up a good twenty times his height, if not higher than that, as Squalo let out a roar in the distance.

It would take a good ten or so minutes, but as he left from the side of the plateau he had been upon, water in puddles began to show up, albeit in small areas. But he had been getting closer and closer to Squalo's den, the Cybeast's features becoming more than a blob of blues in the shape of a shark, the massive creature letting out roars, more annoyed than anything positively rage filled or angry as there was little in the way of actual malice behind it. All the while, two figures began to show up more and more, both of them being familiar...Hevari and her Spikey creation, Cerberus. They had yet to take notice of the navi, be it out of the cold worsening the virus' senses or they having not sensed Courser yet...all that changed as a massive red virus launched itself from up on high, smashing the ground in front of Courser. A baleful red eye encased in a red chasis, the creature on a large piston beneath it without any other way of moving, it's immense weight causing both navis and created virus to stumble and lose their balance briefly as Hevari turned to see Courser after looking around the creature's singular piston arm.

YOU AGAIN!? YOU JUST CAN'T LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE! She screeched behind her mask, stomping her foot down like a child, fists clenched around the wooden staff in her hands. You know, you would think that me leaving those navis behind could have been insinuated as a peace offering. As in, you fucked off and went elsewhere. But I suppose you're too stupid to pick up on that sorta thing! She insulted, spitefully spitting at the ground beneath her as her pet growled loudly at Courser. But letting out a sigh, she threw out a trio of capsules into the air, turning around and walking away instead of sticking around. You're lucky I have better things to do than fight you...most important of which, I need off this net. Stupid fucking power limiter, let me take you off! Either way, enjoy twink. She spoke in a snotty tone, before the capsules crashed upon the ground and summoning a trio of viruses near around Courser, as the BigEye launched itself at Courser again, causing him to back away to avoid being crushed beneath it's body. Battle routines started yet again as Hevari and Cerberus continued to get away, though it didn't seem they had a way past Squalo just yet...

Either way, a sun and a moon began to circle around one another from behind the BigEye, likely using it as cover, as another upgraded Basher managed to find a dry spot amidst the water, snow and rocks. The BigEye, however, looked down at Courser as it caused another earthquake upon landing, baleful stares at the navi in front of it as the navi managed to retain his footing just long enough to avoid getting knocked to the ground.

Kill the Metavirus to win!

-- Battle 18 Ready? Start!! --

Bounding up the stairs as fast as he possibly could, Jazz's feet continued to push him forwards as he bounded up the stairs, his feet barely lifting high enough to climb, his senses in tune with Prose's enhanced speed as he made sure to go fast, but not stumble across the metal steps. Finally reaching the top and going out into a lobby-like area, his breath beginning to catch up with his mind as he soaked in every detail he could, slowly walking forwards into the area, eyes darting back and forth across the area...then he noticed the sparks and electrical shocks in the air, jumping across the area as it bled electricity all the while, bugs practically leaking off the creature as it continued forwards, going back and forth between the corridor to every possible doorway. His eyes fixated...tranced in on the unknown creature.

Pulling up his overalls just a bit, he cautiously moved forwards, even as he read what he could of the moon runes in front of him and off to the sides, he began to slowly pick up meanings and paterns, far from being able to legibly read them he was picking up on their subtle clues, their subtle meanings quickly even while he was fighting off the urge to explore all the same as the symbols and the areas themselves were helping him pick up on these subtleties in the language he was reading. But as he continued, his head swiveled down towards the buggy mess of static, parting away...a large, monstrous, looking virus wildly swinging and attacking all around the room. Arms flailing as it attacked the static creature all the same, he stepped back and let the virus attack...but it was quickly felled by the electrical creature, the virus toppling over and shattering into pieces...and then he saw the citrine eyes in the heart of the storm before blinking and disappearing, causing Jazz to whisper to himself.

Id? No...that was someone else...Prose? I swear, I'm going crazy...please, please be okay... He spoke under his breath, turning around to where he supposedly saw the data storage room...biting his lower lip, he seriously began to think he had time to stop by, grab something...anything...but then shook his head. No. I need to get going...if I'm gonna learn anything about here, about what's been going on, I'm gonna learn it from -her-...not gonna go searching though files behind her back...doubt I could read them anyways. He continued before swiftly turning back around and hurriedly continuing down the corridor he was in, the sooner he got out, the sooner he could get his answers from the cybeast's rabbit's mouth.

All the while this was happening, Stephine quickly tapped away at her computer, keeping an ancillary look on her PET as she did, typing heavily at her computer keyboard as fast as she could. She would wait for Jazz to say something before turning her full attention to the PET and him...but all the same...an uneasy feeling wrapped around her, squeezing like a snake after it's prey...they always say no news is good news...but, when nothing's wrong...nothing's okay...and that's when she saw the old-type Bladia model on the PET screen disappear supposedly without Jazz's intervention...that's when she began to get even more worried, having gone as far as spread all her chips across her desk in case something happened and she needed to slot in quickly for his benefit.

Before the viruses could make a move, Courser's needler lashed out and sent them back to the junk heap as two shots each hit, deleting the three targeted viruses with little in the way of stopping the ever so dandy navi's rampage across the field, two were not even remotely going to come back as their corpses finally hit the ground and showed absolutely no more signs of life in them. And then came the Whirlpool as he flicked the disk of water at the many armed monster at the bottom of the navimade lake...but unfortunately, even as the disk expanded and attempted to draw in the Gigas, it went far too wide for him to hit even with it's potential blast radius, the gigas attempting to breathe a sigh of relief but only managing to inhale more water. It then attempted to smash into Courser regardless, it's arms barely cresting the water and clipping his foot, but only serving to go through it and missing entirely.

Courser then went on the offensive against the King, attempting to land a great uppercut to the creature...but just missing as the dragon brought it's chin back JUST enough to avoid it, before attempting to blast him with a great icy breath, only serving to chill him, but his Needler was caught in the blast, stripping away the barrier without a second thought. Three more blows against the dragon all attempted to knock it's existence out, and while one of these icy bludgons missed, the other two hit straight on, causing the dragon to fall back in an icy coffin before finally disappearing, leaving behind it's crown for Courser to probably pillage on his way to Hevari...even if it was a few dozen sizes too big for his head. All the while, a massive cache of bugfrags begin to litter the field and a bunch of zenny on top of it all...plus his prize from the BMD. All the while, the Gigas just begins to strangle and bash it's skull in, all in an attempt to be rid of this mortal coil from Courser just leaving him in the middle of a lake.

-- Viruses --
Gigas EXGigas EX (Gigas)

The Gigas are a clan of 8 foot tall viruses whose semi-humanoid bodies are made of a durable metal alloy. Gigas lack legs, and instead roll around on a 3 ton solid steel ball 2-feet in diameter that rests in a cupola. Rising from the top of the cupola is an alloy pillar that supports their metal bodies. The Gigas fight with their huge iron fists, which are provided their immese striking power by large barrel-like forearms. Their great-helm-like heads sit directly atop their shoulders with their blocky hinged jaw slanted in a sneer while their neon-red eyes radiate their hatred of all things Navigator. It is speculated that Gigas are a hacked derivative of the Bladia viruses spliced together with fragments of other viruses and a healthy dose of battlechip program data. This would account for their size, strength, and malicious nature. Where and how this was possibly accomplished is unknown. Gigas move at increased speed, but dodge at a slower than average rate. Gigas viruses prefer to pummel the life out of their foes with their bare hands (even though using the ball-and-chain in melee range would be more devastating), but if they find themselves surrounded or at a great distance to their target, they will use the ball-and-chain to perform a HammerToss. If an object blocks their path, they will either send it flying with a GigasArm attack, or smash it to dust before continuing on. Gigas will sink like the lead weights they are in liquid, and they know it. They will avoid liquid terrain entirely, if possible, and will never appear near these types of naturally occuring terrain for this reason. Only a Gigas' body is damageable. Striking a Gigas' cast iron arms will not damage the virus or the arms themselves, no matter what you hit them with. The Gigas' will not intentionally defend themselves with their arms, as they should be too busy pummeling or hurling something to bother. Do not abuse this.

Primary Attack Damage/Effect: 40 Null + Break + Impact + Microburst
Primary Attack Accuracy: C
Primary Attack Description: Winds up and smashes the target with a giant iron fist that shatters defenses and sends the victim flying.
Secondary Attack Damage/Effect: 15 Null + Break + Spin Attack / 30 Null + Break
Secondary Attack Accuracy: D / C
Secondary Attack Description: Summons a ball-and-chain, swings it around to build up momentum, and lets fly at the chosen target.

Possible Rewards (Per Virus): GigasArm1 (Rare), HammerToss1, Zenny
Special: SuperArmor: Immunity to Knockback, Microburst, Pull, Gravity, and similar effects.
Special: HardCase: Damage is reduced by half until hit with a Break attack, at which time this effect is nullified and they take standard damage. Break does not deal extra damage.
Special: Burial: Opponents struck by this effect are forcibly buried in soft terrain types (Mud, Sand, Snow) or submerged in liquid terrain types. Otherwise, the panel is cracked. If the panel is fragile, it becomes broken, and the target falls into the hole. This effect doesn't work if the target is standing on Metal Terrain.: 79 HP (Sea) (About a Feint to the north and to the left, ahead of Courser...before falling into the Sea panels and sinking faster than a rock) (Deletes: 2) (6) (Drowning! -5 HP per action!)
Shrimpy EXShrimpy EX (Shrimpy)

Shrimpy viruses are able to move between attacks as a free action, however dodging still costs them an action. They must pause movement to attack. Shrimpy viruses may move over fragile panel types without damaging them, such as moving over Cracked panels without breaking them. Shrimpy viruses cannot be forcibly submerged or smashed through fragile panels, even if thrown. They can submerge of their own free will, however.

Elemperor EXElemperor EX (Elmperor)

Elemperor viruses are Planeswalker viruses: their attacks and abilities all depend on the terrain they stand upon. Pay attention to the special sections of their stat sheets, as those will tell you what types of terrain must be present for an Elemperor to appear (this terrain requirement naturally overrides the Network's terrain selection). All Elemperor are immune to any adverse terrain effects... except damage multiplication, of course. They attack every action they are able to.

Basher EXBasher EX (Basher)

Basher viruses are the top-tier of the stationary gunnery viruses with an unmatched single-shot damage output among the normal viruses. They are also the rarest of their class, and appear only after battle 5. They also never appear in large numbers in a normal battle, meaning the ratio of total viruses to Bashers should be at least 4 to 1. The attack cycle of Bashers is 2 actions long, regardless of which attack they use. The first attack requires one action to charge before firing, and the second attack executes twice in succession. If they are stunned, they resume their attack cycle where it was halted once the stun wears off. They don't move, and don't dodge.

Area: Sharo

HP: 150
Primary Attack Damage/Effect: 90 Fire + Break + Panel Break x3 Targets, 1 Action Charge
Primary Attack Accuracy: A
Primary Attack Description: The virus selects up to 3 targets, and spends an action charging up the main cannons. It then fires a Magnum blast that reduces most Network constructs to ashes with a single shot, usually leaving a blast crater where they once stood. It may target empty panels and objects as well as enemies.
Secondary Attack Damage/Effect: 20 Fire x3 Targets + Double Attack
Secondary Attack Accuracy: A
Secondary Attack Description: Fires a 3-shot spread from the left arm cannon, then follows up with an identical attack from the right arm cannon just after. Each cannon shot requires an action, and both attacks must occur one after the other.
Element: Fire
Possible Rewards (Per Virus): Magnum1 (Rare), Zenny
Special: Immobile
- Main attack destroys panels, reducing enemy evasion by 1 Rank.: DELETED (Deletes: 5) (Exacts: 4) (23)
King Bluegon EXBluegon EX (Bluegon)

Bluegons do not appear before Battle 6. They are extremely territorial among their own kind, so only one HoleDragon can appear per battle. Because they live among holes, they cannot appear without at least 5% Missing terrain.

Area: Sharo

HP: 230
Primary Attack Damage/Effect: 50 Aqua + Wide Attack
Primary Attack Accuracy: A
Primary Attack Description: Exhales a wide stream of ice breath.
Secondary Attack Damage/Effect: 60 Aqua + Knockback + Ground Attack
Secondary Attack Accuracy: C
Secondary Attack Description: Creates a wave of ice water that crashes into an enemy.
Element: Aqua

Special: As this virus is always in a hole, it is immune to all Ground attacks.
Special: While this virus will never leave holes, it may still swerve to avoid attacks.
Special: This virus can use an action to duck inside its hole. This counts as a dodge. It may reemerge from that same hole, or a different hole on the battlefield, as a free action afterward.: DETHRONED! (3)

His mind rushing as his body continued along his path out of the area, Jazz barely evading underneath a clawed hand that reached out to rip him apart, he managed to reach the end of the loop as his eyes darted left and right as he tried to figure out a better course of action than simply standing around and letting himself get caught. Though before he could make his decision, the monsterous creature, the Miryad-F, had spat out a torrent of lava and steam to the side as he barely evaded getting an unwanted hotfoot at the moment. His body almost trembling as he felt the heat on his body, sweat pouring across his fur as he slowly moved back away from the changed paneling and letting out an agrivated sigh.

Chaos was certainly reigning in Chaos Net, but all the same, his options were getting more and more limited as time went on and with that Miryad-F warning Jazz, he couldn't let himself get caught between that thing and his escape route. God damn it...god knows how much space I'd have to go through to escape...but I forgot my path through to here in the first place...I'd probably be wondering between those asteroids and meteors for a while if I went that route...but I have no idea where this route will go if I start going down...fuck me and my stupid bullshit! He began to think out loud, his mind a mess at the moment as he continued to dart between the staircase that lead down and the path he took to here in the first place. Letting out a grumble, the hare immediately darted to the stairs, gods knew how well maintained things were down there, but it seemed like a better option than just tangling with slowly moving, randomly drifting asteroids and meteors in the nothingness of space.

(Down the switchback staircase!)
