It has been scant days since a portal ripped apart a castle high up on the balinox

and scattered the dragon friends across space and time.

Since then, your journeys have seen you come face to face with peril in all its forms, and yet you've never felt despair.

Yes, the sinister Mr. Sauer has loaded your nervous systems with a deadly toxin which threatens to destroy you.

Yes, the powers of the Megacorp Voss Saito are many varied and arrayed against you with

executive precision, but at every turn you have come nearer and nearer to rescuing tween

megastar Johnny PlayStation, fulfilling your contract and finding your way home.

Johnny represents more to you than just the auto-tuned emotional output of a generation.

He represents your triumph, your salvation.

So given all of that, it is a pity that Mr. Terminal has just shot him a number of times through the head and torso with a laser pistol.

Oh.

Your hacker contact, serious Dumberboys, holographic field stutters, blinks and dies, even as every light on PlayStation's cryocell blinks from a healthy green to an ominous red.

The cryo cell is a miracle of science capable of withstanding even the void of space, but it cannot stop a bullet.

Johnny is dying, and Mr. Terminal, the man holding the gun is gloating.

Behind him, time locked in a stasis bubble beyond reach beyond the airlock your ship home the end it seems has come for you at last
