Megatower One, Tin Town
| "Can it, Nate. We're on the floor now, aren't we?"
>The bot rolls over, and makes a mad dash for the shadow of a large leaf. A loud exhale can be heard from the streamers.
"...hello, world!" >Announces a voice with a pronounced Irish accent.
"I'm Miles, my friend is Nate, and we're investigating some rumors about this place!"
>You can see a chat box appear. Evidently, these guys are taking comments.
| >The bot looks left. Then right. Then left again. Then skitters towards the doorway. Nate, distinguishable from Miles because of his stereotypical southern drawl, speaks up.
"So, a little context. We've been keeping contact with these guys called the Winds of Destruction. They told us to come check something out here- Apparently there's a piece of electronics that's been pinging like crazy recently. So we moved here to Tin Town... and found this thing! Neat, huh?"
| "I'll confess, though- it's a bit worse for wear." >As if on cue, one of the bot's legs comes into view. It SHOULD have been mechanical, but instead it's a bony approximation, attached by exposed muscle and sinew. At the same time, a small growth underneath the camera makes itself visible.
"It looks like the inhabitants- creepy genetic cannibals, by the way, tried to convert this thing, but couldn't until what turned them gained the power to infect machines. And now this is a thing!"
| >The spider bot moves forward, skittering between shadows. Soon, it leaves the common room and enters the main hallway. There, Miles navigates it onto the ceiling, and makes a mad dash for the elevator. Alien characters begin to appear on the screen.
"...huh?"
>The characters continue to appear, soon filling the entire screen. Then, they dissipate- and the HUD changes. There is now a small hotbar, comprised of four empty circles, on the bottom of the screen.

| >The audio kicks in first.
"Okay, Nate. Easy. Eaaaaaasy..."
>A video feed flickers to life. It's the spider cam from the first M1 stream, all those weeks back. It's on the ceiling, overlooking a common room covered in greenery. The whirring of the bot's motors can briefly be heard before it plummets from the ceiling and hits the ground. A sound akin to blowing up a large slab of meat resounds, and the floor around the camera is covered with blood.
"God fucking dammit Miles!"
