[It's event time! Now, what's that on your screen, castmates? Why, it's Shepard, with Monodramon in her lap, cuddled like a teddy bear. Her eyes are red like she's been crying.]

Guys. Guys, I wanna go home.

[She makes a noise that sounds like a little girl whining.]

I miss my guns. Why won't they work, guys? Why not?

[She faceplants into the back of Monodramon's shoulder, and he gives the camera a desperate look.]

[Even under the effects of whatever manner glitch this is he managed to be a bit pleased to see she had a message out.

As he views it, though, his eyelids droop with sheer lack of amusement.]

I won't hear this idiocy. Clearly, crying makes no difference in a self-preserving universe's care for what any one of us wants.

Whoaaa.

[Somewhere off camera, Gazimon is crinkling up her nose with - disturbed amusement.]

[Monodramon huffs in distaste, but before he can open his mouth to talk, Shepard beats him to the punch.]

But why won't they let my guns work?

Did I program the laws of the Digital World?

Or is this one of your needless inquisitions?

I hadn't missed those. Spare me even this once, if you please.

[Shepard clutches Monodramon closer to her chest.]

But why do I have to figure it out? Why can't you do it for me?

[superfan]

Well, unfortunately, we can't just go home.

[ Is that... Conrad? Why, yes, it is. He's done with excuses for why he's a lily-livered coward. And, in turn, has become kind of a jerk. ]

I will agree with you though. It's a damn shame we can't use our guns.

[renegadedriving]

What if something attacks us again? I don't feel safe without my guns, I couldn't do anything without them!

[Monodramon makes an upset little noise.]

I'll protect you, Commander!

[superfan]

If something attacks us again, then we need to kick ass and take names! Guns or no guns we can take down anything they throw at us.

[renegadedriving]

But the last time I fought something it hurt me!

[superfan]

So? Sometimes you get hurt! That's just part of life. You just have to keep going, like it or not.

[renegadedriving]

Why can't someone do it for me? I don't wanna.

[POUT.]
