[Location, Unknown]

A group of weary individuals awaits a final destination after a long, arduous journey

20191214_183410 by Dats Private, on Flickr

???: "I realize our trek has been perilous everybody, but our trip is almost at an end. Just in the nick of time too, as l think that star might go supernova sooner then we first thought."

20191214_183536 by Dats Private, on Flickr

???; "So just hang tight everybody, as soon as Stusshy gets back we'll hit the portal room and get to safety. Almost to the finish line, folks."

20191214_183943 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Stusshy; "Alright, portals just ahead. But there's a slight problem Marrnix."

Marrnix: "What kind of problem Stusshy?"

20191214_184116 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Stusshy; "There's already somebody in there..."

Marrnix: "What!? Who?? This locations portal is high-grade need-to-know-only straight from command! A straggler from another group perhaps?"

Stusshy: "I don't think so, Major."

20191214_184212 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Major Marrnix; "Wasters then? I'm guessing a mole tipped them off.."

Stusshy: "Nah, Major, definitely not Wasters, I don't know who they are...they're wearing a uniform I've never seen before. They seem to be crazed though, I heard them talking to themselves."

Major Marrnix: "Well there's only the one, so lets set 'em to stun and get to that portal. I hate to leave someone behind, enemy or not, but we have no choice."

20191214_184314 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Marrnix: "Alright everybody we're going in fast and tight! Let me and Stusshy secure the unknown occupant, then head for the portal. We should make that evac ship with time to spare."

20191214_184436 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Marrnix: "You ready Stusshy?"

Stusshy: "Always sir!"

Marrnix: "Good, lets get this done."

20191214_185629 by Dats Private, on Flickr

???: "...okay. I'm begging you mysterious console. I've tried everything I can conceivably think of. You vex me. I'm really surprised you guys aren't laughing your asses off, buncha jerks."

20191214_185657 by Dats Private, on Flickr

???: "Oh by Our Creators will! Reveal your secrets to me infernal device, I command you!...oh wherever the hell we are I hope not all the tech is as shitty as this. I heard that snicker 547!"

20191214_190405 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Marrnix and Stusshy: "FREEZE!!"

???: "What the brikhell?!? You guys scared the crap out of me! Ever heard of announcing yourselves? What if I was washing my unmentionables Hang on guys, lets see what happens here..."

Marrnix: "Get those hands up!"

20191214_190651 by Dats Private, on Flickr

???: "Yeah, yeah I heard you the first time big mouth!"

Marrnix: "Good! You might just make it out of here then, whoever you are. Cattassa, the controls!"

Cattassa: "On it!"

20191214_190745 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Cattassa: "Starting roving sequence. Locking in destination coordinates. Destination lock unbalanced? Hey...what the??"

20191214_190837 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Cantassa: "What have you done to this device...uh, .you?"

???: "Look lady just don't get your undies in a bunch. And the names 41...Number 41 if you want to be an ass about it. To answer your asinine question I haven't done anything to it otherwise I wouldn't be having this pleasant chat with you right now because i'd be long gone."

20191214_190914 by Dats Private, on Flickr

#41: "Now that that's out of the way, mind telling me who you are? I doubt I have such a diehard fanbase for my dating profiles, so I'm going to assume you're somebody local...which means you could maybe solve a few mind-bending puzzles for me."

20191214_190914 by Dats Private, on Flickr

#41: "Well for one thing I can presume you're all here due to the star thats about to go nova and rearrange this planets status quo to extinct, right?"

Marrnix: "You guess correctly"

#41: "And I'd also bet noodles to nickels that this portal here is probably your one and only ticket of this rock, right?"

Cantassa: "Yeah thats about the gist of it...but none of us are going nowhere unless you tell me what damage you did to it!"

#41: "Oh I'm two for two, I'm so good at this game! I should've went pro but coach said I didn't have the build for it! No, 90, stand down. We're getting somewhere. Literally and physically, so just simmer down, hot sauce!"

Cantassa: "Err...who are you talking to?"

20191214_191050 by Dats Private, on Flickr

#41: "As I said I didn't do anything to that hunk of shit! It seems that whatever it uses as a directional finder is on the fritz, so I was trying to replace it with what I have on hand...and that isn't going to well."

Cantassa: "Great...I'm going to run a diagnostic and see what you messed up."

#41; "You do that, sweetcheeks! If you find some questionable links though, those were totally already there."

Marrnix: "Get you hands up. Watch 'em Stusshy."

Stusshy: "Consider 'em watched"

20191214_191437 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Marrnix: "Whats the status Cantassa? We're running low on time."

Cantassa: "Working on it, but this portal hasn't been accessed for decades. Consoles got to go through a history lesson to get up to speed, its going to take a few minutes."

#41: "While we wait, lets grab a cup of coffee sit in a circle, sing some songs and get to know each other a little better as our meeting has been AWKWARD! I'll lead the first chorus of wheels on the bus. And while we're waiting on that cup of joe, maybe you can tell me who you are and what you want with me. If your selling Space Girl cookies I'm not in the market after a visit from little Bonnie."

Marrnix: "Well aren't you a chatty one..."

#41: "What can I say I was born with the gift of gab. Okay thats something personal about me...your turn! Hold on a second guys, almost got 'em. It'll totally be worth it."

Marrnix: "This ones certainly unhinged. But lets play it your way."

20191214_191616 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Marrnix: "My name is Major Mik Marrnix of Locus Rimor Societas. And yes you are correct in deducing that a star is about to go supernova, which is why it is imperative for us to get this portal up and working, we aren't exactly sure how much time is left but our people say a little over two weeks."

#41: "More like 5 more days but...whatever. Anyways good to meet you Major Marrny of the Locus Rimor Societas thats very cute by the way. So...where are we exactly again? I guess I've forgotten since I didn't really know in the first place..."

Marrnix: "It's Major Marrnix or sir to you!"

#41: "Touchy....maybe you should try some breathing exercises."

Marrnix: "I'll keep that in mind, and just so I don't have to hear you ask again we're currently in Sector White, Grid Alpha on the Planet Eassilta, in the soon-to-be-supernovaed Cobalt Sector, in the Anno Galaxy."

#41: "....can you repeat that last part?"

Marrnix: "ANNO GALAXY!!! Can you hear me now?

#41: "Yeah, yeah i got it. Anno? Why does that sound so familiar?"

Marrnix: "Now get your hands up or I will stun you!"

#41: "With that ancient piece of crap? Not in this lifetime, bucko! But your the man!"

20191214_191730 by Dats Private, on Flickr

#41: "Okay my hands are up in the air..."

Marrnix: "Finally some compliance!"

#41: "...can I wave them around like I just don't care?"

Marrnix: "You may not."

#41: "Phooey..."

20191214_191811 by Dats Private, on Flickr

#41: "Yup they finally got old 41, looks like this could be the end! Oh if only I had some strapping young folks to save me..."

*Silence*

#41: "...some real heroic types to pop out of the shadows and save the day at the last minute! Yes some dear comrades and old allies to pounce on these miscreants and ave the day and my ass once again..."

*Silence*

#41: "...are you fucking kidding me right now guys?"

20191214_191833 by Dats Private, on Flickr

#41: "...you're the worst. This is about that emo crack from earlier, isn't it? I take it back, the black doesn't make you look like some metal band pansy fanboys. No in fact it makes you look really dangerous and completely badass in the best way possible. Now quit jerking around, asshats!"

???: "Haha...41 totally did it, guess I owe you a drink 90."

20191214_193045 by Dats Private, on Flickr

???: "FREEZE! GET YOUR HANDS UP! DROP YOUR WEAPONS OR YOU"RE DEAD!!!"

#41 : "....my heroes..."

Marrnix: "What the? Dammit! Lose the blaster Stusshy! Looks like we've been had!"

Stusshy: "Where'd they come from? I watched this 41 character for good little while, they were alone!"

20191214_193509 by Dats Private, on Flickr

#41: "Appearances can be deceiving, buddy. You should probably work more carrots into your diet, they do wonders for the eyes, or you know maybe learn to spot active light-bending camo or something...I don't have all the answers for you."

Marrnix: "Light-bending camo?"

#41: "Yup, totally adapted it from a movie I seen. You know the one: killer alien with high-tech weaponry that likes collecting skullls, yoked eastern european action stars? Eh, maybe it was before your time...moving on!"

20191214_193611 by Dats Private, on Flickr

#90: "So what are we doing with them, 41? If I might be so bold maybe we should put bullets in them and leave them here for the supernova?"

#41: "Sounds like a waste of bullets, besides if you kill them we can't learn anything...duh!"

20191214_193648 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Marrnix: "No matter what fate you threaten us with you'll get nothing out of us!"

#41: "I wouldn't be so sure about that Marrny! You being here has already taught me a great deal more then I knew before I met you."

Marrnix: "Save it! We got nothing to say to the likes of you!"

#41: "Your mouth may being telling me no, but your bodies telling me yes! Now we get to play who has the secrets! One of my faves!"

20191214_193839 by Dats Private, on Flickr

#41: "Eenie meenie minney..."

20191214_193941 by Dats Private, on Flickr

#41: "No..."

20191214_193915 by Dats Private, on Flickr

#41: "Noppers..."

20191214_194042 by Dats Private, on Flickr

#41: "Ding, ding! Winner winner..."

20191214_194135 by Dats Private, on Flickr

#41: "Why hello there, pinky!"

20191214_194208 by Dats Private, on Flickr

#41: "So.....seen any Blacktronians lately?"

Pinky: "...eep..."

20191214_195921 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Pinky: "Look I don't know what a Blackhornian is?"

#41: "It's Blacktronian and thats absolutely absurd! Director Lena's sensor nanoites are are on your outfit...granted theres a few left that haven't been self-terminated, but this is enough to tell me you've been somewhere in her vicinity recently. So tell me a story..."

Pinky: "...eep...

20191214_200002 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Pinky: "L-look I can get in some real serious shit right now!"

#41: "Don't get much more serious then dying in a cosmic explosion, does it?"

20191214_200223 by Dats Private, on Flickr

#41: "So spill the beans my dear..."

Pinky: "I-I-I seen a concert, that was all! Maybe those nanoites were with somebody else in the crowd?"

#41: "Nice try girlfriend, but I know those nanoites are security detail types, doubt they'd just be hanging around some random...now maybe try the real tale of your adventures. Try not to bullshit me again, I've only got so much patience."

Pinky: "...eep..."

20191214_200330 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Pinky: "Oh man, I'm so busted. Okay look there was a concert in a place called the Fringe system...Building 4 Destruktion was headlining so I totally had to go. W-we're not supposed to use the A-Gates without Commands consent, but there was no way I was missing a once in a lifetime opportunity like that..."

20191214_200432 by Dats Private, on Flickr

#41: "Alright, well I have the where and the what....now all I need to know is the how."

Pinky: "You're going to get me killed...."

#41: "Pinky!"

Pinky: "Okay okay....I used a portable A-Gate device to make the trip. I-I didn't overstay or anything, I just popped over and right back, I swear."

#41: "Now we're getting somewhere, that Cantassa is right though I did do something to the console...so wheres the device you used to pop over and right back?"

Pinky: "I-I destroyed it! Those things are super uber illegal around here and I didn't want to risk the security forces finding me with it."

#41: "Swell....well this particular console is missing a few parts including whatever directional locator item you folks use...I'm guessing you destroyed that too?"

Pinky: "N-no. They aren't illegal..."

#41: "So?..."

20191214_200859 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Pinky: "...here. This is the one I used, still has a full charge too. I'm so borked! Like life in shambles type borked."

#41: "I'm sure you'll survive somehow. What the...? A resonance crystal attuned to a hyper-bandwidth frequency? Curious, no wonder I couldn't get the damn thing to work with standard Transparents, they might appear to the be same thing to the untrained eye but these crystals and Transparents are wildly different, this could prove useful knowledge once I have more time to study them side-by-side. Thanks Pinky!"

Pinky: "Err..you're wel---"

20191214_201126 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Marrnix: "Illegal travel on a schedule black plus outlawed device?!!! Citizen you are under arrest!"

20191214_201237 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Marrnix: "You've violated about a hundred different sector codes and three dozen Societas citizen charters! You'll be lucky to serve time and not be jettisoned into the nearest celestial body! By authority of command I hereb---"

#90: "Get back in line and get your hands up! Now!"

Marrnix: "This violation can not stand! When I'm through with her---"

20191214_201317 by Dats Private, on Flickr

#41: "Alright enough! Shut the hell up Marrny, your making my ears bleed..."

20191214_201427 by Dats Private, on Flickr

#41: "You should be bowing down and kissing her feet, Major, she probably just saved our collective ABS asses, so if she broke a few rules I for one am going to look the other way and give her a mulligan Benny. If he steps out of line again shoot him!"

#90: "With pleasure."

20191214_201606 by Dats Private, on Flickr

#41: "So listen good boys and girls: I'm going to exact the repairs this console needs and try to get us out of here before the stars start exploding, in the meantime maybe you should all thank Pinky here for her dedication to code violations and perhaps throw her a parade or a BBQ or something for loving concerts."

20191214_201659 by Dats Private, on Flickr

#90: "We are waiting for the others right?"

#41: "Of course. Once Sir 10-gallon and Sarge McDouchewhistle get back, WE ARE OUT OF HERE!!"

???: "So the Director herself requested your presence, huh? Sounds like some tasty bit of intrigue."
???: "Must you keep reminding me? I get nervous coming to the Marble anyways, let alone with the cloak and dagger business."
???: "Look on the brightside, maybe its for that R&R we requested like three months ago..."
???: "I doubt it, but I guess I'll know soon enough."

20191228_193843 by Dats Private, on Flickr

???: "Guess I'll hang out here and await the good news."
???: "You're awfully optimistic about this meeting."
???: "I'm a ray of golden sunshine. Anyways, good luck in there Lieutenant!"
Lt. ???: "Thanks...I'm probably going to need it."

20191228_194356 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Professor Sitall: "It can only be the real article, Director, all the tests prove it to be so!"
Renna: "Definitely the genuine deal!"
Denna: "Maybe a couple more tests? Just to be 100% certain?"
Foreman: "All my people got the same results, Director! Its coming back from the Rekonstruktion of '93!"
Director Lena: "If all this is true we could be sitting on a gold mine...or a bomb."
Renna: "In either case we should get started immediately!"
Professor Sitall: "Very exciting stuff!"
Lt ???: "...what did I just walk into...?
Director Lena: "Can't really say I'm sold on this, tests or no tests..."

20191228_194431 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Prof. Sitall: "But Director Lena, the harmonic footprint speaks for itself! It could be nothing else!"
Director Lena: "Thats bull, Kno. You've seen the info on this universe...it could be false."
Prof. Sitall: "That is very unlikely, Director."

20191228_194737 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Prof. Sitall: "No manner of experimenting would give such accurate results, we have an opportunity here, Magda! Not one but two specimens. I humbly request to start the project right away!"
Director Lena: "Settle down, Kno. I'm not denying your request...I'm just weighing the pros and cons here.
Prof Sitall: "We lose valuable time here! You know it to be true, not even you could deny such conclusive results: a pair of original OT shards!"
Director Lena: ".....so it seems."

20191228_194625 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Director Lena: "Foreman, the site has been cleared right?"
Foreman: "Sure has, boss lady. Like I was saying ten tons of OT and these two bad boys here, I can't believe our luck!"
Director Lena: "Neither can I, either way you and your crew earned a break. Enjoy the beach, Foreman."
Foreman: "We sure will. Also if your contact considers that a tiny vein, I'd love to see what he thinks a big one looks like."
Director Lena: "Heh, duly noted Foreman."

20191228_194802 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Director Lena: "O.G. OT...."
Prof. Sitall: "With infinite possibilities! I'd love to get started at once!"
Lt. ???: *Clears throat*

20191228_194907 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Lt. ???: "You wanted to see me Director?"
Director Lena: "Aha, Lieutenant Kass Andra! Prompt as usual."
Lt. Andra: "Yes ma'am."

20191228_195018 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Director Lena: 'Alright listen up! Professor Sitall you may get started at your earliest convenience. Comb every scrap of information about this universe that we have and try to replicate whatever process they used to create more OT. From what I've read it isn't a quick or easy fix..."
Prof. Sitall: "Such exciting stuff!"
Director Lena: "I'm glad your easy to please, Kno. Ladies if you'd be so kind as to aid Sitall in his endeavoring it'd be highly appreciated...just so his calculations have been triple checked and he doesn't cause the specimen to go boom on us."
Renna & Denna: "Yes, boss lady!"
Director Lena: "Foreman, your teleport awaits you and yours. Enjoy yourselves, you earned it!"
Foreman: "You ain't to tell me twice, Director!"
Director Lena: "Alright, clear the room. I have matters to discuss with the Lieutenant."
Prof. Sitall: "So exciting..."

20191228_195234 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Director Lena: "Alright Kass, first let me tell you that what I'm about to say is highly classified! Few aside from myself even know this, understood?"
Lt. Andra: "Naturally, Director."
Director Lena: "Good. I have a mission for you. Well several actually."
Lt. Andra: "...as you wish, Director."

20191228_195409 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Director Lena: "The first assignment is fairly straight forward; you are to go to the Facility I never reached and reactivate the systems therein. Once the Facility is secure I will port in a team to secure the site."
Lt. Andra: "That seems simple enough."
Director Lena: "Seems is the operative word...we haven't had any contact with Citadel City in months. This facility could be crucial to future plans."
Lt. Andra: "Consider it done."

20191228_195541 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Director Lena: "Excellent. The second part of your job is to find The Cowboy and his men...they've been out of contact for far too long and nothing good can come from that. I don't have anything else for you to go by on this one, but finding them is of a high priority."
Lt. Andra: "Hopefully they won't be hard to track down."
Director Lena: "I wouldn't hold my breath on that..."

20191228_195720 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Director Lena: "...which leads me to the third and final quest. You are to seek out Commander Cul Mofo whereever he may be and deliver him back here or relay the fact that he should return at once! He's been maintaining radio silence for months."
Lt. Andra: "Wait! Director, Cul has been gone since we arrived after the Pulsing! You gave him a modified stealth ship and sent him out to scout the system! As unlikely as the second mission is this seems downright impossible! Where would I even begin?"
Director Lena: "Maybe these things go together. If nothing else he would have performed a flyby of the Facility so maybe its computers have the ships date of passing by. He was supposed to send all data obtained back in blocks, but hasn't. The Cowboy and his crew were supposed to rendezvous with him on the outer edge of their mission...maybe they know something."
Lt. Andra: "I will do my best Director."
Director Lena: "Thats all I ask for, Kass."

20191228_195940 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Director Lena: "I've authorized you complete and full use of the armory and freedom to pick your other three squad mates for this one..."
Lt. Andra: "But thats only four Director..."
Director Lena: "That's because your fifth is a scientist chosen by me."
Lt. Andra: "A scientist on a possible combat mission? I have to say thats a little...bizarre."
Director Lena: "I would normally agree with you on that, but this is a special circumstance....what if I were tell you that the universe had ended...but not completely? This scientist is to go along because you are treading to the very ends of the Fringe system, as her knowledge may prove invaluable. Certainly what she learns may be."
Lt. Andra: "I don't follow. If the universe ended then how are we still...here?"

20191228_195839 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Director Lena: "It is difficult to explain. Imagine you drop a plate and it shatters into pieces. Now the shards are fairly useless, the plate destroyed, correct?"
Lt Andra: "I suppose so...."
Director Lena: "But the shards retain a nasty edge, they can still cut and if ever somebody wanted too they could use those edges as weapons...or even maybe put the plate back together. The plate would never be the same, not exactly, but it would still function as a plate, correct?"
Lt. Andra: "In that example I would say so. Are you trying to tell me we're a broken plate?"
Director Lena: "Haha. Something to that effect, yes."

20191228_195940 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Director Lena: "While we were running that security detail for the Partythrower more then a few strange things happened, a necromancer rose from a grave that wasn't there beforehand, then said necro opened some kind of smaller portal which unleashed...something that we're still perusing to figure out what that something is. Though I'm not sure he actually opened the portal to begin with..."
Lt. Andra: "I've read the debriefing, and the undead always give me the creeps, though the somethings didn't attack for some reason...something about a sigfig or some such. What is that anyways?"
Director Lena: "From my understanding one of the causes of the end of the universe, at least for us."
Lt. Andra: "But....how?"
Director Lena: "I'm not sure. Fate maybe? But I'd just call it pure dumb luck. The Partythrowers grounds emitted some kind of spell or tech field or something to protect his guests during the concert, I believe that it protected most of the Fringe system as well, while the rest of the universe crumbled around us. That would explain the loss of communications with our own people and the discrepancies seen around the system. Whatever happened may have ruptured whatever barriers connected everything together, not only allowing anomalies from elsewhere to materialize here, but perhaps displacing people to whomever knows where."
Lt. Andra: "And I get to be the lucky one to trudge through the broken universe on a quest that seems nearly impossible...this seems a lot to take in, Director. I'm not sure I'm the one you want to undertake something so important..."

20191228_200015 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Director Lena: "Enough of that! I choose you for this because I need a solid leader on this endeavor, now stop beating yourself up about the unknown variables that may or may not try to stop you and get your fucking head in the game! Thats an order!"
Lt. Andra : "I'm sorry...theres a lot to take in."
Director Lena: "Well take it in fast! You need to choose your people, gear up, and hit the port pads as early as possible. Since that sergeant thats always tagging along with you will obviously not sit this one out you only have to pick up two more. I'm sure you are familiar with our personnel, so I expect you to make wise choices."
Lt. Andra: "Of course, Director."
Director Lena: "Then get your people ready and move out."

20191228_200116 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Lt. Andra: "Right away, boss lady!"
Director Lena: "Thats more like it. I have some special communication equipment I'll have sent to you, should be able to keep us in contact despite the fluctuations going on. Thats about all I got for you, Kass."
Lt. Andra: "I will make my preparations and leave immediately, Director!"
Director Lena: "I wish you good luck, Lieutenant!"
Lt. Andra: "Thank you, Director."

20191228_200240 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Sgt. ???: "So whats the word? I've got a new cocktail dress I'm dying to flaunt and momma needs a new pair of shoes!"
Lt. Andra: "I'd unpack your bikini..."
Sgt. ???: "What?!!? Let me guess: routine patrol? Training some newbs? It isn't some surveillance gig is it? I hate those..."
Lt. Andra: "Nope. Something a whole lot more tedious..."
Sgt. ???: "I get the feeling its somehow important."
Lt. Andra: "Could be..."

20191228_200300 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Lt. Andra: "If we don't get cut by the broken shards that is..."

The Partythrower: "Okay, so we've made it back to this shithole."

20200116_194523 by Dats Private, on Flickr

The Partythrower: "So I'm just going to casually stroll in here, get whats owed to me and then we can be on our way. With the House doing its molting, or transforming, or whatever it does happening right now its better if we don't have any outstanding debts owed to us, since theres no way of knowing when the House will actually finish its....whatever it does."

20200116_194603 by Dats Private, on Flickr

The Partythrower: "So thats the plan. I promise I'll figure out somewhere for us to kick back until everythings back to normal. This should go smooth, but he hasn't answered any of my hails and seems to have changed his transponder code so hopefully nothing crazy goes down."
Asst. Qristyle: "Yeah but what if he doesn't pay?"
The Partythrower: "....then I'll be very irritated. Very irritated."

Asst. Qristyle: "Just remember that you catch more flies with honey then you do with a crappy attitude."
The Partythrower: "My attitude isn't the problem, having to come to the ass end of the system because people can't send a simple message transmission is the real issue here. I dislike Norm-EL, you know that."

Qris: "Maybe theres some other issue, like he's been sick or the communication arrays down, or..."
The Partythrower: "....and thats why your ass is staying outside...you give everybody to much credit for their being ignorant."
Qris: "I do not!...do I? Whatever forgive me for believing in the innner good of minifig kind."

The Partythrower: "Yeah....we'll discuss the inner good of Fig-kind some other day, right now just keep out of sight, don't attract a lot of attention, and for Creatorsakes Qris don't talk to anyone."
Qris: "But what if...?"
The Partythrower: "...no one, not one soul. Boaris watch her!"
Boaris: "I have eyes on."
Qris: "Theres that crappy attitude I was talking about."

The Partythrower: "I'm here to see your boss."
Goon: "Well this is a private party..."

20200116_200159 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Goon: "...and I don't see you on the guest list."
The Partythrower: "Maybe you need some glasses then."
Goon: "Well aren't we the wiseass. How about I pull off your arms and beat you with them?"
The Partythrower: "...I doubt you could pull off a feat that heroic, especially in that argyle sweater. What, you been snatching up your grandpas cloths again?"
Goon: "Why you no good piece of--"

20200116_201548 by Dats Private, on Flickr

The Partythrower: "No thank you, on both accounts. I'm a bit pressed for time so if I can just get the item as we agreed on I'll be on my way."
???: "....uh huh...

20200116_201630 by Dats Private, on Flickr

???: "Yup. My memories a bit hazy, but maybe you could recollect..."
The Partythrower: "uggh...here we go. Yeah the item you have that now belongs to me due to the fact you failed to secure a venue for the Building 4 Destruktion concert."
???: "It's hardly my fault that a horde of Brootalz ravaged the site..."
The Partythrower: "Nevertheless I'll take whats owed to me and be out of your hair."

The Partythrower: "...really?"

20200116_201834 by Dats Private, on Flickr

The Partythrower: "An item thats supposedly part of another bigger machine that allows a person to open portals to near everywhere. From the M-Throne home world to possibly the Negaverse..."
???: "Damn all that space weed I smoked in college, I'm not picking up what you're putting down."
The Partythrower: "About the size of a cell phone...."

20200116_201926 by Dats Private, on Flickr

???: "Oh yeah, that item. How silly of me. Of course I have it in a nice secure location."
The Partythrower: "Excellent. I hate to wait but if you could just go retrieve it I'll be about my business."
???: "Yeah...about that."

20200116_202008 by Dats Private, on Flickr

???: "See being able to open portals to potentially anywhere might be too big a responsibility for a small operation like yours, I mean think of the logistics. Nevermind how much fucking profit could be made off something like that, hell the skys the limit. So yeah, I got the item....but you aren't getting squat. You think I owe you something for nothing? Which is what happened. You allowed the use of your place for an event. Kind of sounds open and shut."
The Partythrower: "Hardly. I took damages to my property, used a possibly forbidden spell, nevermind the cleanup afterwards..."
???: "All things I don't give a shit about. And you'll still get nothing because your a loser that didn't read the fine print on the bottom of the contract..."
The Partythrower: "What contract?"
???: "The one that says I don't pay scrubs. What you think I get to eat well and enjoy expensive bubbly by paying people? What a joke...almost as big a joke as you!"

41: "Originally we were just supposed to find new resources and materials to rebuild, and I think these Transparent Crystals of yours are a good starting point. Hell, I can't wait to get back to the Fringe System and really get to study them in depth, I'd imagine that your 'A-Gates' are just the tip of the iceberg. By the time myself and the Blacktronians are through we'll be able to send entire fleets through our own A-Gates to the fartherest ends of this Galaxy. Our mission was to scout out the indigenous worlds of this universe and a happy accident landed us here, with you. Once I've found the proper transmitting equipment I very much intend to send a message to Director Lena, I'm sure she'll be all to willing to get in on the ground floor of a new conquest in a fresh galaxy....if I didn't know any better, and my sensors were one-hundred percent, I'd swear there were already Confederation members cruising around the Anno. I will give you the credit of the clever fail-safes on your portals though...I actually have only have the faintest idea of where this portal actually leads, but I guess I'll find out soon enough. We'll meet again, Major, only next time it will be on terms of our choosing.

Oh, and just in case you think you got one over on me this portals console is set to self terminate once I'm through it, because while you might think the calvary is coming, whoever is coming down the hallway don't share the same energy signatures as you...so good luck with that. See you around Marrny...but thats really assuming that the supernova doesn't get you, or these newcomers don't rip you to shreds. Tah-tah memebers of the Space Explorers Alliance..."

Kitt: "Alright, lets get right into it. Like usual we take several teams and throw them into a winner-takes-all arena match!"

20200307_210348 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Bebe: "Teams are choosen by the production staff, then dropped forcefully into combat with our lucky contestant..."

20200307_210508 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Bebe: "....where we should see lots of chaos and excruciating deaths!"

20200307_210601 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "That's right, Bebe! While our winner gets to keep their skin..."

20200307_214200 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "...our loser's will get a prize thats worse then death!"

Kitt: "You said it, ladies and gentleman. You definitely don't want to be a loser on this show!"
Bebe: "That's right Kitt!"

20200307_214541 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "Now without further ado, lets meet the shows victi----err, I mean contestant!"

Director Lena: "Whoawhoawhoa!!! Hold on a second!!! TURN THAT SHIT OFF!!!!
*Applause and music stops*

20200307_222652 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Director Lena: "Geez that's headache inducing...where the hell am I? Whats going on and who the Brikhell are you two??? A better question would probably be WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU???"
Kitt: "Now now, Director thats not a network friendly attitude!"
Director Lena: "Rrrriiiigggghhhhtttt....does this bullshit act actually work on people?"

20200307_222715 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "You'd be surprised. Now, here's how this works...we drop you into a giant arena with several other teams. All you have to do is survive."
Director Lena: "And if I tell you to go fuck yourself?"

20200307_222826 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Bebe: "Well then that would be an automatic forfeit for you and your team..."

20200307_222928 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Bebe: "...and result in your immediate exodus to the cold dark of Stor-Age!!"
Director Lena: "Of course it would....but I doubt you can do that."

20200307_223045 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "So what'll it be Director?"
Director Lena: "...like I have a choice..."

20200307_223207 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Director Lena: "Obviously I'm in...but I think you're putting me at a huge disadvantage. My people are scattered across the Brikverse, I'll need time to get everybody back..."

20200307_223329 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "That will be no probelm, Director! Here on Season Slayer we believe in playing fair."
Director Lena: "...rrriiiigggghhhhhtttt..."

20200307_223450 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "Of course, your missing people will be conveniently transported to you all expenses paid."
Director Lena: "Oh yeah...when?"

20200307_223622 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "Now!"
Director Lena: "Now?"
Kitt: "Just now!"
Director Lena: "Hmmm....guess we'll see about that."

20200307_223753 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Director Lena: "Look....I think you're both full of shit, and me and my people don't have a chance!! Haha...this entire thing is just as fake as Bebes hairdo!"

20200307_223854 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Bebe: "What did you just say?"
Director Lena: "I was just saying how if this was a clown impersonation show, you'd be a shoe-in for the blue ribbon."
Bebe: "Why you insolent little!"

20200307_224012 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Bebe: "ABS piece of trash...I should rake your eyes from your skull!"
Kitt: "Now hold on there a minute, Bebe! What would our sponsors think?"

20200307_224148 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Bebe: "Your right, Kitt! It'll be much more fun to watch her get ripped to shreds!!"
Kitt: "That's the spirit, Bebe!"

20200307_224333 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Director Lena: "Wow...you two are really trying to sell me on the crap you're shoveling."
Kitt: "We have a fantastic financing team!"

20200307_224545 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "And now I'll explain a few rules for our viewers at home!"
Director Lena: "What viewers?"
Kitt: "That's not important, what is important is our Nielsen ratings."
Bebe: "That's right, Kitt!"

20200307_224647 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "Okay, here we go folks."
Director Lena: "This should be good...like getting a root canal, or breaking your femur..."
Kitt: "Let's not get ahead of ourselves!"

20200307_224545 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "So here's how we play; you have two weeks to build and marshal your forces, then on the day of the spring equinox the games begin."

20200307_224647 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Director Lena: "Two weeks hardly seems like enough time to---"
Kitt: "That's not our problem!"

20200307_224755 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "In 48 hours time you'll be brought back here to meet your murder---er, your healthy competition!"
Bebe: "That's right, Kitt! In the meantime you should choose your captains and make your battleplan!"
Kitt: "You'll also get your first look at the opposing teams! Think of it like a good old-fashioned coin flip."
Director Lena: "Sounds archaic..."

20200307_224856 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "Either way, that's how it's going down!"
Bebe: "That's right Kitt! In addition to the meet-and-greet you'll get a preview of the battlefields!"
Director Lena: "Wait...battlefields? I thought you said this was in an arena?"

20200307_224822 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Bebe: "And it is! Only it has multiple layers for extreme events or triggered actions."
Director Lena: "Kinda sounds like some rule-bending crap to me..."
Bebe: "WELL IT ISN'T!!!"
Kitt: "Settle down there, Bebe!"

20200307_225040 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Bebe: "You're right, Kitt! I just want to watch this minifig harlot die a horrible, screeching death!"
Kitt: "Haha, don't we all Bebe?"
Director Lena: "Uh huh..."

20200307_225136 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "So Director Magda Lena...are you ready to play SEASON SLAYER?"
Director Lena: "Again seems I don't have any choice..."
Kitt: "Alrighty, lets be getting you back then. Looks like you got your work cut out for you, Director!"
Director Lena: "No shit...."

20200307_225213 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "Oh and just in case you get any bright ideas; this show has a very high win ratio. How do you think we keep our ratings up?"
Director Lena: "Probably like most casinos do; by stacking the deck in favor of the house!"
Kitt: "That's just an old wives tale!"
Director Lena: "I wouldn't bet on that!"

20200307_225357 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Director Lena: "Like I said before, I'm pretty sure we're getting screwed...which is something we'll deal with. But know this, Kitt,
or whoever you are..."
Kitt: "Whats that, Director?"
Director Lena: "I've seen some pretty weird stuff in my time. Fought wars, destroyed planets, pretty standard day-to-day in the life of a minifig. But in all my travels in all of the Brikverse and beyond I've never seen anything like you! I don't know if your some kind of malicious race, or bored alien traveler or what your story is but I will find out. Neither of you are Nega-Bloxites, or CLOan brand off-shots, and I highly doubt you're made of ABS at ALL you're something different altogether, and whatever it is that you are, probably isn't good."
Bebe: "Well aren't you the curious one!"
Director Lena: "Fuck off, Bebe!"
Bebe: "You little sack of----!"

20200307_225429 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "Bebe!"
Director Lena: "Yeah put a cork in it! I'll eventually find out whats going on. Then you'll pay."
Kitt: "Haha. It's hard to cash checks when you're in Stor-Age!"
Director Lena: "We'll see about that. Now send me back, I have plans to make!"
Kitt: "Right away, Director...and we'll be seeing you soon! Everyone else stay tuned! We'll be right back after these messages!"

20200307_225843 by Dats Private, on Flickr

*Silent-but-deadly poofing sound*

20200307_225911 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Director Lena: "Uuuggghhhh....I hate that already..."
Renna: "...Director! Boss lady, are you there?..."
Director Lena: "Huh...?"

20200307_230027 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Director Lena: "I'm here Renna, whats going on?"
Renna: "Holy crap, where did you go?!? I've been blowing up your comm for 20 minutes!! Something really weird is going on! You have to get up here quick!"
Director Lena: "Calm down, Renna! Slowly explain to---"
Renna: "No time for that! We're getting messages from Citadel City! Everybody came back! They just appeared out of thin air! Commander Kuul is demanding to speak to you! Just get up here!"
Director Lena: "Hmm guess they weren't lying about everything..."

20200307_231532 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Renna: "Who wasn't?"
Director Lena: "Nevermind Renna, I'm on my way! Go to red alert, and tell all personnel to man battlestations! Shit just got real!"

Kitt: "And we're back ladies and gentleman, with what should be an interesting night! As always, I'm your host Kitt Katt!"

20200313_015703 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Bebe: "And I'm Bebe Ruth!"

20200313_015855 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "Well Bebe the time is nearly here and its time for tonights choosing ceremony, a show where the teams meet and the initiative rolls and team starting locations are decided! We'll also explain a few of the Arena rules and some of its features! So how you holding up over there, Bebe? Seems to be a fever pitch in the studio tonight!"
Bebe: "Oh yes, Kitt! The audience is especially pumped for this one! I'm super excited to see what happens!"
Kitt: "Well alright, lets move things along then!"

20200313_020001 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "So lets bring her back to the stage, Director Magda Lena of the Blacktronian Confederation!"

20200313_020208 by Dats Private, on Flickr

*Audible poofing*

20200313_020421 by Dats Private, on Flickr

The Cowboy: "Well that does beat all on the annoyance factor, little lady."
Director Lena: "Told ya."
The Partythrower: "It is a fairly neat trick though. I wonder how they do it?"
Director Lena: "Maybe we'll find out."

20200313_020501 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "Welcome back, Director!"

20200313_020647 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Director Lena: "Yeah, yeah...can we please just get through this?"
The Cowboy: "Well shit, boss lady, I don't know what they are..."
The Partythrower: "This isn't some kind of magic I know. Strange..."
Kitt: "As you're aware tonights the choosing ceremony---"
Director Lena: "No actually I didn't know anything because you didn't tell me shit. 'Choosing ceremony' sounds a lot like a crooked game of musical chairs with winners already picked, so I'm just going to assume underdog status and roll with that."
Kitt: "Very well then, Director!"

20200313_021954 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "Alright! Lets bring out our first team!"
Director Lena: "This should be great..."

20200313_022033 by Dats Private, on Flickr

*Audible poofing*

20200313_022226 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "The Stripes Gang! Represented today by Gramps!"
*Canned audience applause and cheers*
Gramps: "The samhell? This ain't no jewelry shop! Bamboozled again!"
Kitt: "Haha, isn't he a character ladies and gentleman!"

20200313_022334 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "And his allied team---"
Director Lena: "Hey, what the fuck?! What do you mean allied team?!"
Kitt: "Seems pretty self-explanatory to me! Introducing the Mainland Staters of Amonica! Represented today by General Lavender!"
Lavender: "Is this the competition?"

20200313_022611 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Lavender: "A weak showing...I doubt this girl will last past the first round."
Director Lena: "And I doubt having such a heavy '80's vibe is good for the environment. Sure hope all that hairspray isn't flammable."
Gramps: "Why you no good sombitch' I outta take you over my knee and rifle through your purse!"
The Partythrower: "Are you sure it's a good idea to have him out this late? He seems the type to throw a tantrum if he misses the Wheel..."
Jacked: "What'd you say you little twerp?"
The Partythrower: "I said your hearing would probably be better if you knocked off the steroids for a day or two."
Jacked: "I'm going to rip you apart!"
The Partythrower: "I'm sure...just keep in mind I'm not the yellow pages of the phonebook..."

20200313_022755 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "You can say that again, Bebe! Hopefully we don't have to call security"
Together: *Host laugh*

20200313_023030 by Dats Private, on Flickr

*Audible poofing*

20200313_023205 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "The Space Ninjas of Awesome Powers! Represented today by Geni, The Shark Army General!"
Geni: "Oh wow, I'm going to need a bigger smoothie cup for this."

20200313_023334 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "And her allied team---"
Director Lena: "Seriously?"
The Cowboy: "This is more rigged than a line-dancing competition on a minefield..."
Kitt: "---The Space Explorers Alliance! Represented today by High Commander Tarreva!"
Tarreva: "It's Locus Ri---oh nevermind..."

20200313_023821 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Tarreva: "This is a joke right? Some career criminals, some mercenary losers and those scrubs? I don't have time for this."
Geni: "I think if I have a strawberry banana combo, I won't finish it before we beat them."
Director Lena: "The only thing that even slightly needs a scrub is fish chick, spend much time on a shrimping boat lately? Geez..."
The Cowboy: "It does put in me in the mood for a big hunk of salmon though."
Gramps: "Confoundit, bunch a hippies all whacked out on goofballs!"
The Partythrower: "It's about time for your meds, right? You should probably be getting back to the retirement home."
Tarreva: "And what LARPing group are you late for? Dungeons and Dumbasses?"
The Partythrower: "Isn't there a space truck stop somewhere where your mouth could be put to better use? Perhaps on a tailpipe?"
Jacked: "I got a use for her mouth..rawr...yeah, baby you can command me anytime."
Director Lena: "Hopefully she'll command you to swan dive into an active volcano."

Marrnix: "...eh?"

20200313_024219 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Marrnix: "Aha!"

20200313_024351 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Marrnix: "High Commander, there is one of the criminals now! They are harboring the schedule black fugitive! That one in the cowboy hat used the A-Gate!"
Tarreva: "Is this true? You will hand over the criminal to be tried at once!"
The Cowboy: "You got a better chance of a buffalo flying out my behind, missy!"

20200313_024616 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Tarreva: "You will give us that girl and return our property to us, immediately!"
Director Lena: "Yeah....no. Regardless of whatever your claim may be she's under my protection. We like her. We also like the Transparent Crystal she gave us, so I think I'll keep both."
Tarreva: "Why you smug...arrogant..."
Director Lena: "Don't forget ravenously beautiful and devilishly charming."

20200313_024759 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Tarreva: "This isn't over. I'll have that girl and our property returned."
Director Lena: "And I'll sail the seventy-seven seas in a kayak. We can both label those under 'shit that's never going to happen'."
Tarreva: "So you believe..."

20200313_025034 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "Well it seems there's some team drama already, this should make for a memorable show!"

20200313_025643 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "And now its time to see where all that bad blood is going to be spilled, as we get a look at the Spring edition of the Arena!"
Lavender: "I don't see any Arena..."
Kitt: "That's because---"

20200313_025809 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "---you're standing on it!"
*Surprise sounds from the teams*
*Canned 'oh and ah's*
Kitt: "That's right folks, welcome to the Eternal Infinite Arena! This plane can take on any form our producers and audience participants choose! From lush jungle to arid desert to arctic tundra, there's no telling what manner of battleground you might get!"

20200313_030030 by Dats Private, on Flickr

The Cowboy: "This is a whole lotta pasture, boss lady."
Director Lena: "Looks pretty bare bones right now, Kitt. I thought we get a preview of the battlefield?"
Kitt: "And so you did!"
Director Lena: "When?"
Kitt: "Just now!"
Director Lena: "I've decided that I hate you..."

20200313_030146 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "Haha. Can't win 'em all! Bebe, care to explain?"
Bebe: "Sure thing, Kitt!"

20200313_030520 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Bebe: "Using a multitude of plates, and our patented battlefield technology, we can create endless cells and always keep the matches fresh! One day you could be fighting in a swamp and the next in a river valley, the possibilities literally never end!"
Director Lena: "So you could, in theory, drop a city into the middle of a battle in the ocean? Sounds ultra sketchy to me. Probably just as sketchy as whoever did your botox, because that's a back alley job if I ever seen one."
Bebe: "Why you smel--!"

20200313_031837 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "Settle down, Bebe!"
Bebe: "Your right, Kitt! She just really makes me want to tear her throat out!"
Kitt: "Haha! She does have that effect on people! Now it's time for the roll-off to see what team gets initiative! Each team will roll a d6, any ties will be best out of three with the team with the lowest roll choosing their starting position!"

20200313_032037 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "And General Lavender is first up!"
*Canned game show dice roll*
Kitt: "It's a five! That'll be a tough roll to beat ladies and gentlemen!"
Lavender: "This is in the bag!"

20200313_032006 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "Next up is the Space Ninjas!"
*Canned game show dice roll*
Kitt: "Ohh so close! Geni rolls a four!"
Geni: "Fishsticks!"

20200313_031925 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "Director Lena is last up!"
*Canned game show dice roll*
*Canned slide-whistle ridiculousness*
Kitt: "Haha, that's too bad! Director Lena rolls the infamous one!"
Director Lena: "Wow...I am both shocked and awed that such a thing has happened..."
Kitt: "That's the way the bones roll, as the kids say!"

20200313_032249 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Bebe: "So our turn order is: The Stripes Gang and Mainlanders first up, followed by The Space Ninjas and Explorers Alliance...with the Blacktronian Confederation going dead last!"

20200313_033141 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "Well now that that's settled, Director which starting position would you like then?"
Director Lena: "We'll take the best side, which is the West side!"
Kitt: "So be it! Well there you have it folks, we're ready to get started on this session of---"
Together: "SEASON SLAYER!"
*Canned audience cheers and clapping*
The Partythrower: "That's probably the single most insanity causing thing I've ever heard...listening to alley cults sqealch next to a dumpster is like a thousand times more soothing."

20200313_033327 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "Any final words Director?"
Director Lena: "This is obviously a deck of cards all stacked against us...so I guess my final thought would be: I sure hope your budgeting department has deep pockets, because we're going to raze whatever you send at us to the ground."
The Cowboy: "You can say that again."

20200313_033454 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Marrnix: "High Commander this travesty can't go on---"
Tarreva: "Quiet, Mik! There's still the matter of the girl, we won't tolerate such outrageous slights!"
Kitt: "Sounds like a case best settled on the battlefield!"

20200313_033600 by Dats Private, on Flickr

The Cowboy: "Missy, you got a big old black hole between your ears...that girl isn't your personal property. You want her so bad come and take her then!"

20200313_033752 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Tarreva: "Oh we will, along with your lives!"
The Partythrower: "I believe that tailpipe is still waiting..."
Tarreva: "Yeah make your jokes, we'll see soon enough!"
Director Lena: "Anything would be better then listening to your whining...and that includes having your eyelids propped open and having to stare at Bebe's car accident of a face all day."
Bebe: "You no good---!"
Kitt: "Let it go, Bebe!"

20200313_033827 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Gramps: "You darned kids and your sombitchin' rappy music! There's no banks to rob around here!"

20200313_034100 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "Calm down there, Gramps!"
Gramps: "Get me back, my gold toothes a fixin' to need a friend or fifteen! I could use some green jello too, you scallywag!"
Kitt: "Haha, well that just about concludes tonights episode!"

20200313_034226 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "The teams are set, the moves are choosen, and there's nothing left to do but get it on!"

20200313_034351 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Kitt: "Everybody will return here in just a few days time! Good luck to all our players, and a goodnight to our wonderful viewers, wherever you may be! I'm Kitt Katt and we'll see you soon!"

20200313_034554 by Dats Private, on Flickr

*Silent-but-deadly poofing*

20200313_034631 by Dats Private, on Flickr

The Partythrower: "Well aren't they a lovely bunch of idiots..."
The Cowboy: "That High Commander needs to get up off her high horse!"
Director Lena: "Agreed. So first impressions?"

20200313_034713 by Dats Private, on Flickr

The Partythrower: "That Stripes Gang isn't a problem, but their teammates might be. There's also the fact that that battlefield is fairly large and might be a problem for movement."
Director Lena: "I already considered that, and I've got a plan for that."
The Partythrower: "Nice!"

20200313_034804 by Dats Private, on Flickr

The Cowboy: "It seems like they'll be gunning hard for us, especially Marrnix and that Tarreva filly!"
Director Lena: "I'm sure 41 will have something to say about that."
The Cowboy: "No doubt about that, not to much 41 doesn't have something to say about."

20200313_034848 by Dats Private, on Flickr

Director Lena: "Better shine up your six shooters then, old friend! The time will be here before we know it."
The Cowboy: "You sound like you got something up your sleeve."
Director Lena: "But of course! They think they have the advantage, which is their first and last mistake."
The Partythrower: "So...it's on?"
Director Lena: "Oh it's all the way on! Let's hit the briefing room and I'll explain everything. We're going in hotter then the sun!"
