Good evening ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Mainframe, land of the slightly less free than we ought to be. I'm your host for this evening, MIKE THE T.V.! If you'd like, I can offer you a tour around the system for only ninety-nine ninety-nine ninety-niiine!
W-what, you actually want a tour? O-o-okay, let's get started then! Ahahahaaa....
If you look to the left, you'll see the Eight-Ball Apartments, meaning we are in the Kits sector, home of Bob, the best guardian this system has ever seen. I remember this one time, we got stuck in a game and I saved everyone, including Bob, earning their eternal love.
Moving on, next up is Baudway sector, Mainframe's main shopping hub. And if you look to the left again, you'll see Dot's Diner, a good place to relax and enjoy good fast food (if you don't mind the terrible service).
If you prefer slow food, you're in luck, because the best slow food restaurant in Mainframe is located in the next sector - Ghetty Prime. Al's Restaurant has been running for minutes, and let me tell you, it is the best slow food you will ever enjoy. The crowd there is great, too, assuming you don't mind being jumped by the viral binomes that always lurk there.

"Excuse me, but what's that big run-down building in the middle there?"
Oh that? It's nothing! We don't use it anymore because it's so run-down and hazardous. There's really nothing in there worth seeing. Anyway, let's move on to Wall Street-
"Let's go inside! It doesn't look like it's going to go offline any time soon. In fact, I can still see power running to it."
*Sigh* Okay, okay, the customer is always right as they say, but before we go just let me get you to sign these waivers here... and here....
As you walk inside the crumbling building, you can see that there isn't much of a difference on the inside. The dusty and cracked walls tell of minutes, maybe hours of neglect. The place is abandoned from what you can see, but off in the distance you can hear the echoes of a heated argument taking place.
"I wonder where that noise is coming from..."
Are you sure you guys don't want to check out the read-only room? There's lots of, uh, files for your, uhhh, integration? Or maybe you'd rather check out the office of the legendary command.com of this sector, Dot? No? Well maybe you'd rather go grab a bite to eat at Al's diner, only a millisecond's walk away!
"Come on Mike, let's go check it out! It can't be that dangerous, right?"
No, I suppose not... hey wait, I'm the tour guide here! I'm the one who is supposed to lead you into new, exciting and possibly life-threatening areas. Follow me onward, young adventurers, to where nary a sprite has boldly gone as boldly as we are going now! To the atrium!
As you approach the atrium, you can tell that this is the place from where the echoes are originating. A number of figures have taken accusatory stances, and there are a few pleading sprites, presumably begging for something. As you get closer, you can start to make out what the voices are saying.
"-king to him on the way here! I just know they were planning sabotage."
"I was talking to him about more efficient energy usage in the Beverly Hills sector. The topic of sabotage wasn't even mentioned."
"You expect us to take your word for it? How do we know you're not lying?"
"You don't. You'll just have to trust me when I say that I didn't sabotage the mission."
Aaaand here you have it folks! A saboteur on an important mission to the principal office, possibly a plan to retake the principal office from Megabyte's fearful clutches. Ehm, can I ask what exactly happened?
"Sure you can, Mike. This guy here alerted the virals of our plans, and now we're locked out of the war room until we can figure a way in, or until somebody opens the door. And since neither of those things seem to be happening any time soon, we're just laying on our hands trying to figure out who exactly sold us out."
Oooookay then! Locked in this stunning, mortal battle of wits to find the traitors among them, the heroes of Mainframe are currently stalled at the enemy's gates. Will they be able to survive, or will they be utterly annihilated by their own lust for revenge?
"MIKE! Will you cut it out and help us already?"
No thanks, I think I'll just watch.
