Ecks. [ Royce sits down, actually, settled next to John. He rests a hand on John's shoulder. He's real. ]

Ecks came to me and convinced me. Whatever magic or science or nanomachines that are keeping us from seeing the truth aren't that strong.

[jumpthegun]

Right. She's a good girl. [Wait, Ecks?] How did she even get here? Are we... are there tunnels?

[bywolves]

Don't know. She said she had to make it past bad things that wanted to come for her, in order to get to us.

Thinking we should probably leave before those bad things get to us.

[Suddenly, Alfie appears over Royce's shoulder, hand on the other man's elbow.]

We should, yeah. John, come with us; we'll walk along with you.

[jumpthegun]

Alfie, you made it out? [That's... well, all right. If there's Royce, there's bound to be Alfie, as well. Mary flickers at the edges of John's vision.

Listen to them, my love. There aren't any walls.]

You walked through the wall, too. [Which doesn't make logical sense when they both have the line. The alternative? The alternative is that they're right. John's on the ground, and he raises a hand to press hard at the forcefield... that isn't there.]

Uh...

[His hand goes through, and he catches himself with his hands.]

It's not...? [John blinks, looking around at the other men.] Where the hell are we?
