Story by Dunthyon on SoFurry

As Dunthyon and Kat walked along, Dunthyon discovered a Large hole in the field. He and Kat decided to climb down it, using the rustic ladder that seemed to be over 500 years old. "Lead," Dunthyon said, observing the ladder, "Should be sturdy enough..." Dunthyon concluded, climbing down. The hole lead to a very large underground lab, appearing to be used for Genetic Research. Dunthyon scouted ahead and told Kat to stay behind, in case there were aggressive animals around that would harm him or her.

So far, there wasn't anything down there except a few old computers and large tubes going from the ceiling to a terminal in the ground. A long hallway, containing three doors and two flimsy lights, was on the right. In the center, a table that, to Dunthyon's measurements, was 20 ft. wide and 30 ft. long. Only one terminal was operational at the time, but more could go operational if a large electric pulse were to make its way into the main computer. The Lone terminal had a large outlet that looked alot like the hidden plug in Dunthyon's tail. "This computer could have very useful information... I might as well see what's been lingering around in it for all these years." Dunthyon thought. But when Dunthyon tapped into the computer, his data was replaced with the ones in the computer, so he was now rendered useless. His mind was in the computer though, so he could still call for Kat to get her to plug his body back in, and swap the files.

His digital self, which he nicknamed "Dunthyon Delta 4", was able to walk around inside the computer, like he saw in the movies.

In Kat's perspective: Something must have happened to Dunthyon, because he wasn't out yet, and i was fucking worried. I chose to go down, whether Dunthyon wanted me to or not. Damn, some seriously twisted shit must've happened here, because this isn't what I imagined a lab to look like at all. I thought they were supposed to be full of scientists, computers, and were well lit with white walls. This...hellhole... looked nothing like that. The walls were dimmed grey and brown, the lights were broken and sputtering sparks, and the glass in the windows of the doors were either broken or cracked. A single computer was on, and I went over to inspect it. All i saw was a BSOD and Dunthyon's-- SHIT, his body was lying on the floor! I knew the one thing that would get him out of the computer, and that was finding a plug to transfer the files back to their original place. I did just so.

Back to third-person. Dunthyon was back, and was ready to get out of that damned place. They climbed the ladder and was out of the lab; they hoped they never had to go back there, because it held some bad images of pain and suffering. As soon as Kat made it to the top, the ladder collapsed and fell down the hole. "Woah, lucky we got out of that!" Dunthyon and Kat exclaimed in unison. The Adventure to find Frozen Death was going to be long and excruciating, but they had to pull through and make it, or else the world would be eliminated by The Mass.
