_{[When Dirk awakens and can't move at first, he finds himself panicking. This isn't something that normally happens, so it's a huge relief when he actually is able to move. Immediately, he's able to tell he's not where he should be. His memory is a little hazy due to the fact he's still waking up, but he knows that the last thing he was doing, which certainly wasn't sleeping. Who could sleep when their home was under attack?

The letters he finds answers a few of the initial questions he has, but it leaves a billion more unanswered. His world was destroyed? Given the state it was in, he isn't surprised, but he was supposed to get into the game first. He's pretty sure this isn't it. This is horribly disconcerting, because he can't help but wonder about his friends. Did they make it to safety? Are they here?

After another few moments, he's aware he's not the only person in the room either. Well then.]}

...Who are you people.

Network; open.
I'm not entirely sure what is going here, so perhaps someone can shed some light on this situation.
How is it that I've arrived here?
I'm finding the information provided by the welcoming committee highly doubtful for a multitude of reasons that I don't have time to get into at this time.
With that, I'll cut to the chase; in the off-chance that it's actually correct, that my world was destroyed, I must ask.
Does anyone know Roxy Lalonde, Jake English, Jane Crocker and their whereabouts?

He sounds like he to be brought down a peg or two. Do you know what his strengths and weaknesses are? Perhaps that can work to our advantage.
I need to gather as much information as I can find. The problem with the Q&A is that it would be foolish to discredit everything he said and even more idiotic to believe all of it.
Perhaps the truth is somewhere in the middle. If that's the case it'll be a start for planning the appropriate course of action.
While causing as much commotion as possible might seem like a good thing, it'd be better to launch a swift attack and try to bring them all down at once.

It's a deal, then. We'll take them down. Jason's face is yours.

strengths, weaknesses? uh, lemme think.

..he and the other admins were hoppin' to it pretty fast when this new girl bossed them around - she was the one running the contest. i think she's.. on a higher level than jason, at least, because i did something and she slapped him over it and later he showed up pretty messed up looking. and boy, was he mad!

it was worth it. ..and it just means he can be provoked, anyway.

Looks like we'll have to compile information on her too.
But yes, you're right. If he can be provoked, it implies a number of other things as well.
Particularly that he has weaknesses. If we can exploit them, we'll be golden.

well, lessee. she's really off-putting and bubbly and has blond hair, and wore a lot of different outfits from when we saw her one time to the next. like she thought she was some kinda model, i guess.

oh.

and she can turn people inside out.

_{[You don't want to know how she knows that.]}

What.

Are you serious?
How does she do that?
It's always something, isn't it. If it's not evil fish aliens it's hardcore sadist models.

i, uh.

i had a front row seat, but i'm still not sure how she did it.

There has to be a logical explanation.

how about "she's stupid and she cheats?"

That works.
We'll beat her at her own game.
