Rose: So this is the alarm clock?
Chron: Yep.
Rose: And we'll be called when there is trouble?
Chron: that's the point.
Rose: ...intriguing.

Chron is showing Rose around her room. It's been a day since they accepted her into the group, but only now did Sol decide to show her around, except he left his son to it for some reason.

Rose: I must say, it's interesting that you are doing this yourself instead of your... father.
Chron: Yeah, dad says I have to start helping out more to be allowed to join them.
Rose: Though, I do have a question.
Chron: Give it to me!
Rose: ...where is your mother?
Chron: Well-

Chron hasn't thought about his mother for about a month now. Last he heard, she was left on the Skeld. He thought longer, until he spoke.

Chron: ...she's busy.
Rose: Oh, uh... alright.

Chron fist pumped as Rose looked back at the alarm clock, investigating it. Max came in the room to see the two.

Max: Hey guys? Sol wants everyone in the admin room.
Chron: Oh- Ok! We'll be there!

Chron and Rose follow Max as they arrive in the admin room, looking at Sol panicking. Squeak is looking at the controls, and Surge and Gene are completely confused.

Sol: Nononononononononononono
Rose: What's wrong with Sol?
Surge: I dunno.
Gene: He's been like this for a while now. I think he might be having a midlife crisis.
Rose: Then what could be disturbing him?
Squeak: Something here is talking about the sighting of a goat-like deity spawning randomly, a wanted poster for a Jeeode, and something about a disease.
Sol: A RAPID DISEASE MIGHT I ADD!

Sol pushes Squeak away with no hesitance, and pulls up multiple news articles showing the same 'disease' beginning to become noticed, although many or their worlds are handling it oddly well.

Sol: It was never given an official name, but many of us refer to it as Codest
Rose: Codest?
Sol: A disease that causes you to become a slave to whoever absorbs the Source, which might I add is currently UNKNOWN.
Surge: Dear God.
Sol: There's More.
Surge: NO!

Everyone stood in confusion, staring at Surge. While this awkward moment happened, Sol typed something in. The news articles were then replaced with a government located in the jungle. An alarm was sounded with it.

Sol: Ignore the Alarm, but we'll still have to head on over to another Universe. We can't let Nebotus take control of the situation and take over another universe at the same time. I'll attempt to locate some of the infected universes and hopefully quarantine them.
Chron: What about me?
Sol: Son, I need you to hold down the fort and make sure nothing bad happens while we're all gone. Just remember: must watch them from here until they're finished with the mission. You got it?
Chron: ...I got it, Dad.
Sol: ...Thank you.

Sol looks at everyone else, slightly embarrassed. Rose seems like she didn't mind, but the brawlers either also didn't mind, or were taking a picture of this moment in their minds.

Sol: ...Anyways, to the rift!

5 minutes later, and they have arrived at the reactor, with Chron at the controls.

Chron: Who should I send first?
Sol: Send everyone else first.

Chron then opens a rift that looked a bit different than Max remembered. It showed a jungle of some sort, with thinner animals than Max was used to. The rift was also white, maybe referring to something Max would never know. Nevertheless, Max and the gang began to jump down, bringing Rose with them. Once they landed in the jungle, Max realized something.

Max: Wait, Sol never told us what this place is!
Surge: ...Oh shoot, you're right!
Rose: Maybe we should look for the government location that Sol had behold to us.
Surge: Yeah that sounds good.

So our heroes began to search the jungle for the government. However, what they find is much more interesting.

Squeak: Hey guys!
Gene: Yeah?
Squeak: I think I found them!
Surge: Sweet! Where are they?
Squeak: Over there.

Squeak points to an abandoned space station in a clearing. The others are amazed as Squeak begins to approach a building.

Rose: I don't think this is where they are residing, Squeak.
Squeak: Maybe Sol had an old photo!
Surge: The backyard and the photo didn't seem really far off when we went to Rose's world.
Squeak: C'mon! It's not that bad!

Rose hesitated before petting Squeak.

Rose: Maybe this will help us find the government. You are really squishy, Squeak. What are you made of?
Squeak: Dog Drool :)

Rose continues to pet anyways, despite other's reactions to this reveal of Squeak's. The others enter one of the buildings to investigate, when Surge turns on a computer.

Surge: What's this... Toppat Clan base launches tomorrow...Diamond unavailable...Reginald and RHM arrested... geez these emails are old.

Surge continues to scroll through the Emails as Max picks up a dirty Toppat. Gene was checking his lamp when he noticed something.

Gene: Wait, how do I have these things back? I swore I lost them when-
Squeak: Gene! I found something!
Gene: What is it, Squeak?
Squeak: Pictures of the guys that were here!
Gene: At least we can have an idea of- WHAT THE-

The pictures were showing stickman with Toppats, with the occasional government-dressed stickman. Max and Surge came over, the latter having info he was going to share.

Surge: Guys! I think the government- JESUS!
Max: Never thought I would see animated stickman in front of my eyes, but here we go.
Gene: Uh, Surge?
Surge: Yeah?
Gene: What were you gonna say?
Surge: Oh, government tanks are approaching us, and Rose is going to greet them.
Gene: What?
Surge: Yeah, she's going to rush in front of a tank
Gene: WHAT?!
Max: Surge, how is Rose doing right now?
Surge: She's halfway there.
Max: SHOOT!

The brawlers rush onward to Rose to prevent her from dying to the stickman. She had just stood in front of the tanks that had just stopped. The brawlers looked in confusion as the tank opened to reveal three stickman.

???3: Alright, What're you all doin' here?

??? Side

A Stickfigure is in an egg-like machine floating above the jungle, analyzing anything that's happening.

Stickfigure: Welp, I'm bored. Looks like nothing's up.

The Stickfigure looked out for a little bit longer.

Stickfigure: Time for my daily activities; watching people repeat Potassium while holding a banana-

An alarm suddenly sounds within the machine, causing the Stickfigure to see what's going on.

Stickfigure: Hey, wait a minute! Where's the exit-

The machine collapsed within itself, killing the Stickfigure inside. The machine squeezed itself together until it transformed into a rift. The rift then dropped a stickman straight into the jungle. The Stickfigure landed perfectly and looked at the setting Sun. Two figures began to approach it; Ophicius, and a squid-faced monster. Ophicius looked at the Stickfigure, before approaching it.

Ophicius: Excuse me, sir.

The Stickfigure looked her way, revealing themselves to look like this:

???: ...What? Who're y'all?

Ophicius: I believe you've just been rifted from...wherever you came from. Let us assist in whatever you might want for you revenge.

Ophicius went closer, as the Stickfigure revved up the blaster they made with their arm.

Ophicius: Now, put the blaster down, and we can talk. I don't want Cuthulu to hog the fighting action, after all.

The Stickfigure hesitantly turned his arm back to normal as they looked at the serpentine, then cuthulu.

???: Alright, what do ye want?

Ophicius: Merely to assist you. Specifically in getting rid of those that screwed up our lives. I know that's why you are the way you are now, he screwed you over.

???: You mean...Henry?

Ophicius: E x a c t l y... now, why don't we get to know each other? My name is Ophicius. What about you?

???: ...

The Stickfigure hesitated, before looking at her with a confident look.

???: Right.

The Stickfigure's cybernetic eye glowed in built up fury.

RHM: I'm the Right Hand Man.
