lyrics

Abi: Oh my god i think we’ve just found the city’s biggest douchebag

Kevin: And we investigate murders so that’s saying something

Abi: You made fairies into slaves?

Santiago: I made them productive citizens

Kevin: How did you get Arcadia Corp tech?

Santiago: A few years ago, I ran into some old drunk in a bar, this Connor fellow. Told me all about this stockpile of tech stashed away in a warehouse. He told a crazy story, but the tech was all there. Finders keepers.

Ryvyr: Oh, Connor is the name of my frog. Say hi, Connor.

Connor: Ribbit.

Abi: So that’s how a no talent hack rises in the market so fast

Santiago: I’m a visionary. And I have competitors biting at my heels

Kevin: Like Rob Stillwell

Santiago: That bastard

Xiao-Li: That bastard is a wonderful and attentive lover

Santiago: You cheap harlot

Zippy: The sigils protect against Rob Stillwell. He can’t touch them

Geoff: How do you dismantle them?

Kevin: Is the knife that killed Kem yours?

Santiago: I acquired it legally and keep it in a secure room. You understand if what happened to Kem gets out it could ruin my entire Voodooverse venture?

Zippy: He took away the sun. He took away the sun

Santiago: The Voodooverse is mine to shut down

Zippy: I’m turning the sun back on

Santiago: Zippy, I think you forget who you work for

Zippy: You programmed me to be loyal to Kem

Santiago: Zippy when I built you I put in a failsafe
Disobey a direct order and it means your death

Zippy: Turn on the sun

Santiago: This isn’t the time

Zippy: Turn on the sun

Santiago: This isn’t the place

Zippy: Turn on the sun

Santiago: You’re forbidden to do so
That is a direct order, now you go away

Zippy:
I stood by Kem, the boy so lonely and abandoned
The lab rat who his dad so hoped would make him rich
The boy whose mom lived inside her drugs and money
And me a crude AI was his only loyal friend

I stood by Kem as he found out all the fairies
Imprisoned in the computer by his dad
He turned away from the lonely outside world
And those poor Fae became the only family that he had

I’m zippy I’m your virtual companion can i help you with something on this bright and lovely day
I heard you say let’s free the hurt and sad and wretched fairies
But we don’t know how to help or how to save them right away

And so, he worked and worked and all he did was work on freeing them
In secret though his dad would be so angry and betrayed
But Kem the lonely boy he felt he finally had a family
That lived inside this VR world so close yet far away


I stood by Kem because no one else here cared or ever
Saw him there with his loneliness and dreams
I stood by Kem despite all your mad agendas
My friend, the boy here who always was unseen

With Kem gone now I can’t bear to be among you
For to serve you this I think would make cry and scream
My last act then is to bring the sun back to the land
He built for them to escape to be free

The sun is back
… good bye….

(Zippy destructs)

Ryvyr: Is he dead?

Alyssa: Zippy has been eradicated

Santiago: He knew the consequences of disobedience

Kevin: Oh shut it, you bulbous hemorrhoid

Abi: Oh, that worked rather well

Alyssa: So, can we enter the miniverse?

Kevin: You mean the box?

Abi: Look, the light is on

Santiago: You should leave

Kevin: Not a chance, douche-bucket

Abi: So should we go in?

Geoff: Maybe Winter’s code is in the box

Alyssa: Enough already. From the looks of it, the box is finished. It just needed the light turned back on.

Abi: You think Kem finished it?

Alyssa: Yeah, this is complete.

Kevin: Lets go check out this… miniverse did you say?

Alyssa: Yeah

Abi: This miniverse that Kem made

Kevin: I think this is the last step of our puzzle. Let’s see what Kem what hiding

Paul Shapera Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Cama’s attempt to commune with higher beings failed; she only found Decadent Dottie. Together they roamed, indulging in dangerous forms of psycho-neural self-exploration which Cama hoped would present the key to her people’s further evolution. It only led to her destroying her people so that one of their pets could evolve. She sat in her former civilization's rubble and listened to Paul Shapera. ... more
