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

[omegamods]

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..."

Open feed;

[stalksindarkness]

Teeth... Does anyone else see that?

...Scary mutant dinosaur alien monsters. Just what we need.

[starsburn]

Nah, it looks like a head to me! Or like some kinda fancy hat, you know?

[stalksindarkness]

Seriously? Because all I see is a big mouth full of teeth.

[starsburn]

Hm... well, I mean, you need to squint a little and... ah, I know! You can send pictures with this, right? Gimme a sec and I'll show you!

[ and then, as promised, a few minutes later; ]

like this!!

[ attached image: weirdface.jpg ]

[stalksindarkness]

Huh. Okay I see the head, but I don't see it as a hat.

I see a head and a body facing the left and typing on a console and it looks like one of those stereotypical aliens. The grey ones with big black eyes?

[starsburn]

... huh.

[ give her a second, she'll be holding her watch away from her and squinting at it suspiciously. And probably looking completely ridiculous in the process. ]

... I... kinda see it?

[stalksindarkness]

I don't know if it's important. If we're all prepared for the worst possible combination of T-rexs or aliens than I think we'll be okay.

[starsburn]

Whoa, you really think?

[ shooter no, don't sound so excited about that please ]

T-Rex Aliens! That sounds so cool!

[stalksindarkness]

[Oh man, you just kinda hit a nerve with that one. You can see him trying to come up with a decent response. He can talk, of course he can think!]

Oh! Of course the monkey thinks she's the only one with the brain. What a surprise!

[Yep. And now the feed is abruptly cut off. He might have lost his cool there, and now he's just going to sit in his room and pout.]

[distorts_space]

Yeah. Looks like a T.Rex mouth to me.

[stalksindarkness]

Someone else pointed out that it looks like a head too, an when they said that I started seeing it as one of those stereotypical aliens typing on a console.

So I'm willing to interpret it as both just to cover the bases!

[distorts_space]

I see it more like.

Uh, hang on.



Like this.

[stalksindarkness]

That's what I saw first. I still see it, but I also see the other thing, but I can't draw it.

[distorts_space]

Maybe if it were a crowd of aliens at a console?

Like



...Wait do you mean the scary black ones that drool venom or the goofy big headed ones?

[stalksindarkness]

Nuh uh. Not those things.

Those are just in the movies. Real life is scarier.

[distorts_space]

You were the one who said they looked stereotypical. Don't tell me you actually BELIEVE alla those stupid abduction stories.

[stalksindarkness]

Nuh! There was this guy back home who was supposed to be like those Space Lasher movies.

With the mouth tongue just like the aliens you're talking about. He's real, okay?

So yeah, I believe the abduction stories!

[Serious business, Parley!]

[distorts_space]

[pause]

Where are ya from, again?

[stalksindarkness]

St. Martial. Off the east coast.

You know, where all the big bad creepizoid villains of the world hang out.

[distorts_space]

You're not a big bad creepizoid villain, right?

[stalksindarkness]

Nuh. I'm not even that big yet either, but I'm not bad.

[distorts_space]

Well you can't be too careful. I've seen some weirdos on this thing.

[stalksindarkness]

Like that crazy loud mouth peacock girl? The one who looks and talks like she stepped out of some kinda old western cartoon?

[distorts_space]

Or super smug eight year olds.
