Welcome Back, Loyal Vidshow-watching Citizens! And now back to our show.

Episode 3: Larry-R’s Lament

Turn 116: Goodbye, Roy-O. Hello, Howard-R.

Phil-R uses Mr. Sock to make coughing and spitting sounds. Letting out one last dramatic “PTOOIE” with Mr. Sock, he looks at the rest of the team, mildly confused.

Quentin-R stands up, covered in foam, burnt jumpsuit, and dust from the ceiling. He somberly scrapes some of the gunk off, then opens up a pocket to pull out a nearly empty, but clean, packet of Mint-O’s. He pops the last one in his mouth, smiles and turns toward a camera to say, “Once again the efficient training given to all troubleshooters has saved the day. A minor conflagration that could easily have spiraled out of hand into a medium sized fire has been contained, with minimal damage to clones, and minimal disruption to this fine workplace….” He gestures to take in the room, and continues, ”...I would like to thank my fellow team mates for their diligent action, and I would like to remind all viewers that combating a fire can also be fun time!”

Quentin-R then takes a few steps back, screams “Belly Slide!” and makes a leaping dive into the foam, trying to slide, but only succeeding in doing a rather painful bellyflop onto the floor.

Dean-O exclaims cheerfully (or perhaps manically) through the foam, “Well, thank Computer for that! Come along team, we’ve got clues to find! Won’t that be fun!? Eh!? Eh!? Doesn’t that sound like fun!? Eh Come on!! Last one there’s a rotten traitor!!!”, and begins to skip off toward the supply closet.

Isaac-O, while trying to maintain his footing in the foam, looks at Dean-O and shakes his head, saying, “You’re like a 5 credit vendorama-bot in a one credit arcade aren’t you? Except sadly lacking in the additional multiple personality module.”

Suddenly, a 6 foot tall RED-clearance citizen with red hair and green eyes walks energetically into the room and up to Roy-R. He holds out a RED-bordered sheet of paper. He says, as if giving a memorized statement, “Citizen Roy-O-HBL. You have been promoted to ORANGE clearance, and reassigned to another mission. I, Howard-R-WST, have been sent to replace you as Happiness Officer for this team. Here are your new orders. Please hand over all equipment assigned to you for this mission and then follow the instructions here.”

Roy-RO takes the sheet and reads it. His eyes widen, and he looks at Howard-R, then back at the sheet, then back at Howard-R. He says, “Thertainly, thitithen! Here ith the equipment.” He then hands over the Morale Kit and 3 RED laser barrels to Howard-R, and gives a quick salute to the team. “It’th been an honor, thitithens,” he says, and leaves hurriedly with a smile on his face.

We shall return to the PBEM Network’s presentation of The Bot Murders after these messages…

Here comes a New Challenger! Welcome, Starlust! We still have one more slot open, citizens! Doesn’t someone want to take over Aken-R?
