To Phil, Rich says, "You can PM yourself if you want. The nice thing about being a digital copy is that it's easy to make backups. If you die, you'll respawn in Continuing Is Painful. The reason it's there is you'll lose any equipment you were carrying. So, try not to die."
"Bindle's anticipating my next point. We're not being asked to save the universe with a herring. We have access to everything on the wiki. We're like Green Lanterns. The only real limit on the power we can wield is our own imaginations."
"Strigon's correct, too. We're basically going to be The Law around here. Let me explain the problem. The wiki contains so much information about various fictional realities that those realities exist here as sub-dimensions. They're accessible through pictures like the ones on the wall over there. Apparently something went wrong with the Homestuck sub-dimension that caused it to deviate from canon. That seems to have started a Disaster Dominoes situation, with other sub-dimensions going off-canon. Unfortunately, the Magical Database can't directly monitor what's happening in the sub-dimensions. It needs us to investigate, and deal with whatever we find there."
Megaman says, "Yeah, he's right. Bob And George is seriously screwed up."
George says, "He's right about Homestuck, too. I lost track of Bob in there. It isn't a room with wiki text on the walls, like this one. It's like a little solar system. Only it's got a black hole in the middle, and it's collapsing in on itself."

I'm reaching for the random or whatever will bewilder me. —Tool, "Lateralus""I'm ready for action! But since you guys don't look ready yet, I'll wait till you guys are prepared."
Shameless Self-promotion ho!@[Tastes Like Friendship] bamack1, Bindlestick, Crewe, Deadbeatloser22, Mario Guy 128, Philosopher, Splitting Infinity, stargirl93, Strigon:
Chadling says, "Bob's good at hacking."
Megaman says, "Oh you don't want him. He put his thing inside me, and it took months to get it out."
George says, "Alternate Megaman and Bass are pretty smart. They invented a time machine and a dimensional portal projector. I bet they can hack computers, too."
Rich says, "Say, Phil, I had an idea about your Mecha-Mook project. Dr. Wily has a robot Mook Maker. It's listed on that page, so there's probably one there. It'll still need to be reprogrammed so the robots are loyal to us, but that might easier than reprogramming a whole army."
Rich turns to the others and says, "Well, I think that covers the basics. Why don't we get on with the Lock-and-Load Montage? When you're ready, I've got a list of trouble spots that need investigating."

I'm reaching for the random or whatever will bewilder me. —Tool, "Lateralus"I accidentally fire off a grenade shot, fortunately nobody was hurt.
"Sorry. Just testing out the OP-I."
Shameless Self-promotion ho!"I still need to get my stuff. I may take awhile, need to make a detour at Bag of Holding."

"You have more than enough potential. So tell me what is the one wish that would make your soul gem shine." -Mitt Romney, probably@Altimeter: The woman says, "Yes, interrogating. I ask questions, you answer them, or else. Like this: who are you?"
@[Tastes Like Friendship] bamack1, Bindlestick, Crewe, Deadbeatloser22, Mario Guy 128, Philosopher, Splitting Infinity, stargirl93, Strigon:
Before anyone leaves, Rich says to everyone, "Oh, make sure you pick up a radio or something. I can talk to you, but you need to be able to talk to each other."
Then he checks his HUD, and sighs. He says, "I think we've got a Troper in trouble. DB, since you're already equipped, would you mind checking it out? He's in Fetish Fuel Station Attendant: Video Games. His name is Altimeter, and he looks like this." Rich projects Altimeter's image for the others to see.
@Philosopher: [OOC: Setting up the Mook Maker will require some roleplaying. Also, Rich wants to work with you on that. We need to set up some kind of internal security and the robots would be a start. You can go through to Section8 with no problem. It's a normal page/room.]
@Strigon: The grenade blows a hole in the wall several feet wide.
Rich rolls his eyes and says, "Strigon, why don't you go check out Bob And George? Find out what Dr. Wily's up too. If he's up to his usual tricks you should have plenty of targets."
@Bindlestick: You can go through to Bag of Holding with no problem. It's a normal page/room.
@Crewe: Rich replies, "You'll have to talk to characters to get their help. If you want to catch your own Pokemon, you'll need a starter and some Pokeballs. You might be able to get a trainer to loan you some."
"That reminds me, the character exhibits are essentially fictional characters in suspended animation. If you touch them, they'll wake up. So be careful where you put your hands."
I'm reaching for the random or whatever will bewilder me. —Tool, "Lateralus""Hm... I bet I could find someone friendly. And then catch like, a Legendary or something. That would be fun. Then go to the Transformers page and wake up Optimus. This is gonna be awesome."
Crewe was starting to think that maybe getting sucked into Tv Tropes wasn't so bad.
"Wait, where can I find a radio?"
Victory! Honor! Destiny! Mutton!Bindle left, making stops at Bag of Holding, Team Fortress Two, The Dresden Files, and Warhammer 40 K. He then gathered the following items: A Bag Of Holding, a Force-A-Nature, a bleached human skull, and a Power Fist.
He also picked up a commlink from Star Wars to keep in touch with the others. He consdered making another stop for a mount, but decided it was kind of stupid. But still... He shook off the thought and prceeded to Fetish Fuel Station Attendant: Video Games.
"You have more than enough potential. So tell me what is the one wish that would make your soul gem shine." -Mitt Romney, probablyDB pulled out his camera, snapped a photo of the projection, and returned it to its case.
"I got a phone, I don't think it's gonna be a whole lot of good here." He pulled it out of his pocket, and pressed one of the buttons on the side, lighting up the screen and displaying his wallpaper image
* . "Thought not. No signal."
He then ran over to the search box, and input the query, opening the portal.
"OK, here I go. Should I bring him back here once I've extracted him?"

"Yup. That tasted purple."@[Tastes Like Friendship] bamack1, Bindlestick, Crewe, Deadbeatloser22, Mario Guy 128, Philosopher, Splitting Infinity, stargirl93, Strigon:
@Crewe: Rich says, "Try Comm Links."
@Bindlestick: I'll say you have no trouble collecting your items. [A skull? Sure, Why Not?.] DB will get to Altimeter before you, because he's going straight there, so hang on for a bit.
@DB: [Actually, your cell phone works fine. Also, there's a new icon on the desktop. It looks like the TV Tropes logo.] Rich says, "No, I'll call you when you've got him. I need to brief him on what's going on."
@Phil: Rich checks a few wiki pages on his HUD, then says, "They're listed on the Mirror Universe page, so they're probably on display there. Let me go with you. I've got some things I'd like to ask them about, too."
I'm reaching for the random or whatever will bewilder me. —Tool, "Lateralus""Cool. See you guys when I've assembled my army."
With a quick thumbs up to everybody, Crewe opened a portal and stepped through, grabbing a radio at Comm Links before heading to the Pokemon Characters page and walking up to Professor Oak, hesitating slightly before placing a hand on his shoulder.
Victory! Honor! Destiny! Mutton!@Bindlestick: An angry voice calls out from your sack. "Hey! Let me out of here!"
@Crewe: Professor Oak wakes up. He sees you and says, "Oh, hello!" Then he looks around and says, "Wait...where is this?"
@[Tastes Like Friendship] bamack1, Deadbeatloser22, Mario Guy 128, Philosopher, Splitting Infinity, stargirl93, Strigon:
Rich says to the remaining Tropers, "Call me when you're ready for a mission. I've got a list."
"Let's see, there was something else I wanted to do here. Oh, yeah, food." He grabs a take-out box and quickly fills it with finger food. He turns to Phil and says, "Okay, I'm ready." They leave.
@Philosopher: When you arrive in Mirror Universe, you notice the far wall is different from the others. It appears to be made of dark stone, polished to mirror smoothness. You can see your and Rich's reflections in it. The dark color of the stone makes the reflections look kind of sinister.
"Okay, that's creepy," says Rich. "Wait, is there an echo in here?"
There is.
Then you notice both reflections have goatees.
I'm reaching for the random or whatever will bewilder me. —Tool, "Lateralus""Got It. And Don't worry about getting in touch with me, My AC has a built-in comms system."
Shameless Self-promotion ho!"That is strange. I don't have goatee. We're in the parallel universe, correct. On Tv tropes? Goatee is generally evil and mirror doppelgangers are common in stories?", Phil stared at his reflection. He really didn't look that good with a goatee.
It comes. The corrupter comes. Don't let it touch the tower lest all reality crumble.

"I don't think making a backup will be a problem. Think about this for a second. We're in Tvtropes. Everything and anything anyone has commited to fiction is stored here. Rayguns, cloning machines, giant robots, ponies." A beat. "Wait, forget that last part. Getting back on track. I think, before we do anything major, we need to stock up an weapons. That guy, with the guns, has the right idea." He gestured to DB.
"You have more than enough potential. So tell me what is the one wish that would make your soul gem shine." -Mitt Romney, probably
