                                SOMEWHERE IN METACITY: Fosschild and their friend stand by a ruined basketball court in a shady part of the city. The horizon is decorated by skyscrapers with digital billboards featuring advertisements for 'MATAMART - we'll tell you what you need' and 'JACK2HEAD_VISOR'. The court is surrounded by dilapidated apartment buildings and broken billboard screens. In the foreground, a sign covered in graffiti says: "Unplug and Play outside!" Fosschild and their friend begin walking across the court. "I don't know what I expected... They said it'd be fixed 3 months ago... sometimes I feel like they don't really care about us.." MEANWHILE IN AN APARTMENT BUILDING NEARBY. A METACITY SPECIAL POLICE UNIT stack up by an apartment door, heavily armed, ready to breach. MATA_BOT: "GO GO GO!" The bot team break the door, guns blazing. There is a single person browsing the internet on their laptop, caught by the rain of bullets from the bots' fire. LATER: A MATAPD detective in a trench coat, seemingly human, enters the apartment and approaches one of the MATA_BOTS. Bot: "Detective?" Detective: "Captain, what's the situation?" Bot: "One hacker down. Approximately 14 minutes ago the bastard tried accessing MATAVIDS with an unsupported browser." Another bot is examining the corpse. ~fin
