Scott sat frozen.
His mind spun as he stared at the screen.
The blue-skinned woman was still talking with the kind of absurdity that made him wonder if he was trapped in some elaborate prank.
At first, he'd dismissed it as nonsense, but the System's confirmation made it all too real.
And then — because the universe apparently wasn't done messing with him — holographic blue screens sparked into existence before him and Jake, filled with live images of bizarre aliens from across the galaxy.
Thousands of extraterrestrials, each more alienated than the last, were tuned into this… whatever this was.
A cosmic broadcast? An intergalactic livestream?
The screens flooded with scrolling comments, moving too fast for Scott to process all at once, but the bits he caught only added to his growing headache.
[Yo, Gwandorian here, what star system is this? Never seen this planet before.]
[Oh snap, I've heard of these guys! They gotta be from the Dairy Path Galaxy or something…]
