omegafriends | Episode 3: Disaster and a New Villain Approach the City!

This is Dr. Jefferson. The initial test results are back from the transmitter analysis!

Unfortunately, we weren't able to get too much out of it. I'm sure it's communicating with something - still trying to figure out he coordinates of the other side, but I'm pretty confident it's not on Earth.

We also found two messages - one is a heavily encrypted recording of an earlier communication, and the other appears to be for us. Taking both of these into consideration, we've shut the machine down for the time being.

Here's the one for us:

Well done, Omegafools! You managed to find my transmitter, and if you're reading this, you probably also defeated Leader One. However, don't fool yourselves into thinking this means you've beaten me!

You're far too late. My new friend has already locked on to my signal, and will be arriving any day now. Since you have refused to hand the city over to me, prepare to see it destroyed!

Dr. Devious

P.S.: Muahahahaha!!!

And here's what I've been able to get of the encrypted transmission:

[The transmission is a conversation between two voices. The second is Dr. Devious, but the first is an unfamiliar, growling voice, accompanied by a heavily-distorted image.]

"--planet is a difficult thing to find from this distance, Human Devious, let alone a single city."

"Don't worry, Baron. My transmitter is more than up to the task of guiding you here."

"I hope that this is the case. You have been... most helpful, for one of your kind."

"Don't forget our deal. You can have the rest of Earth, but I get Venture City!"

"It shall be yours to do with as you please. A single human settlement is a small price to pay in exchange for reclaiming that which is rightfully ours..."

Pterodactlys? Tears? Eh? EH?

Is that one of the ones that swim?

Uhh, no those would be Mosasaurs and Icthyosaurs and ...look there were a bunch of swimming ones, those are all the ones I can think off off the top of my head. Pterodactyl and it's relatives were the flying ones.

Wooooow.

Right over my head, guy.

...science education is clearly failing our young people when you can't even remember what a pterodactyl is. You need to spend some time in the museum or something, waiting for some criminal to make a move and reviewing some of the exhibits while you're there.

Awwww, but that's no fun! I couldn't go all out there! I'd damage the exhibits!

Well kick them outside first-I mean, they've got those windows and skylights in the exhibit halls for a reason, right?

Hmm, I guess that'd be better than breaking the exhibits...

I've helped design a few exhibits in my time and almost everything in one is handmade, so yeah, it's a lot better.

Duly noted, Mr. Science Man. If I'm ever doing a stakeout in a museum I'll keep that in mind.

It's Kerbal-X when I'm doing Omegafriends business.

Kerbal-X? You some kind of popcorn themed hero or something?

Uhhh, no, just aiming for a sort of mysterious air I guess.

Oh.

Well, "kerbal" sounds popcorn related.

Not gonna lie, I can kinda see it. Kerbal, kernal, yeah, I get it.

Heh, wow. You've got a sense of humor. Don't often see that from the brainy types.

Well, I gotta admit, I'm training with an eye for a mission to Mars. That's like...two years. And a lot of it in a small area with a few other people.
