[ G O D S ] - "DOROTHY & MAGNUS HEED OUR CALL, THE GRAND COUNCIL HAS DECIDED TO AWARD THIS SYSTEM WITH ITS FIRST PROSPECT.

---
Gulps and Gasps
A visible surprise can be found on the systems stewards.
[ S Y S T E M DOROTHY : ] "YESS ... YESS! OF COURSE YOUR GRACE! THANK YOU FOR THIS ... OPPORTUNITY ..."
[ . . . . ]
Before manager Dorothy could finish her sentence, the gods vanished; they came and left in a heartbeat.
[ S Y S T E M ADMIN MAGNUS : ] "AND ..... THEY'RE GONE! POOF."
"THIS LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING WE COULD PASS OUR TIME."
"THIS SYSTEM HAS BEEN TOO BORING FOR SO LONG. WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SEVERAL MILLENIA FOR ONE SOUL TO BE GIVEN TO US AS PROSPECT."
"BUT NOT ANYMORE! WEEEHOOO!"
...
[ DOROTHY: ] "SO WHAT SHOULD WE DO WITH THIS SOUL, SIR ADMIN?"
[ MAGNUS : ] " ACCORDING TO THE RECORDS THE GODS GAVE ME, THIS SOUL 777-777 OF AERTHE SYSTEM DIED IN AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT THAT WASN'T EVEN MEANT FOR HIM! "
"TO COMPENSATE, AERTHE'S ADMIN JOHN AND HIS PREVIOUS MANAGER KIMMY USED ONE OF THEIR SPECIAL REQUESTS TO TRANSFER THE SOUL OF 777-777."
"AFTER MUCH DELIBERATION THE GRAND COUNCIL OF GODS APPROVED OF SAID TRANSFER."
"UNFORTUNATELY FOR THIS SOUL, MOST OF THE MAJOR SYSTEMS ARE TOO FULL TO COMPENSATE THIS SOUL.
SO INSTEAD HE WAS SENT HERE TO US, THE MOST DESOLATE AND UNDERPOWERED SYSTEM FROM THE BILLIONS OF GALAXIES THAT THE GRAND COUNCIL CONTROLS."
[ DOROTHY: ] "INDEED, HOW UNFORTUNATE FOR HIM; HE WAS GIVEN A SECOND CHANCE AT A NEW LIFE HERE IN THE MOST BRUTAL SYSTEM IN THE ENTIRE GALAXY."
"SO WHAT COMPENSATION DID THEY GIVE THIS POOR SOUL FOR HIS TROUBLES?"
[ MAGNUS: ] "THE GODS GAVE HIM A CHOICE TO BE REBORN WITH HIS MEMORIES INTACT OF HIS PREVIOUS LIFE OR TO START AT A BLANK SLATE."
[ DOROTHY: ] "SO WHAT DID HE CHOOSE IN THE END?"
[ MAGNUS: ] "HE CHOSE TO BE REBORN IN A BLANK SLATE, MEANING HE'D BECOME A BABY GOO GAA."
"BUT HE WANTED TO INCORPORATE A GAME-LIKE SYSTEM FOR HIM; HE SAID IT WAS HIS DREAM TO BE IN SUCH A WORLD.
HE GOT THAT IDEA FROM AERTHES MANY FANTASY STORIES.
BUT ALAS, AERTHE, THE ORIGINAL SYSTEM HAS NO ADVANCED CONCEPT INCORPORATED IN ITS SYSTEM DATA, MAGIC, AND SUCH."
"SERIOUSLY, THEY NEED TO UPGRADE THAT SYSTEM SOON; IT IS AS OLD AS TIME COULD TELL!"
[ DOROTHY: ] I SEE.
[ MAGNUS: ] "WE BETTER GET TO WORK WITH THIS NEW SYSTEM UPDATE SINCE IT IS QUITE A LARGE FILE."
.... SYSTEM UPDATING 01% ....
