When the angry players returned to the spaceship matrix and informed Sir Big Tail that the bad woman had appeared and taken away the ancient instrument and the King, his delight immediately turned to grief.
The ancient instrument was the squirrels' trump card for evading the Shadows; they had always been extra careful when using it, never expecting a god to discover it this time.
After listening to the players' descriptions of the bad woman, Sir Big Tail became even more despairing.
"That is Lady Tragedy, a deity who adores tragedy," it explained to the players, "She believes that the essence of life is found within tragedy. Suffering, despair, and destruction are the best nutrients for the flower of tragedy. Now it seems that Her taking the ancient instrument serves not only to collect it but also to witness our despair."
"So, She deceived us just to see our anger!"
