Jordan hesitated for a moment. "Why should I trust a talking monkey head of all things?" After some careful thought, he knew that man with the tube would most likely be looking for him. He needed some help, desperately. "Fine, what is it that you want?"

[Harmless]

Casper goes for the gun and scoops it up, making no hesitations to stop, aim, and fire several bullets at the ambulance's back tires.

[Karyete]

BEAT thought carefully. He had no way of knowing which was which, so all he could do was take a guess.

He pointed to the third chip on the man's palm.

[GrandPiano]

Togham clenched his fists tightly as the ambulance came closer and closer.

-MARGE-
"Yes, bacon and eggs! You need as much energy as you can to get the best out of such a sunny day!" Your mother says with a smile.

Now that she mentioned it, today really is sunny. Sunny... That's a word you haven't heard in quite a while. The ESTO has artificial warmth, but it's definitely not the same thing. To remember you will never see the sun again makes you realize how much you miss it.

"Marge, you have a job interview scheduled for 9 AM. That's 2 hours from now." Your drone says.

-JORDAN-
"...Can you... take me... to my body...?" The monkey head manages to say with some effort. "It is in the... Primate Suitability... Testing Room..."

[Sethster]

"I've never been on this ship before! How would I know where the Primate Suitability Testing Room is?" Jordan began to think again, and decided that he had nothing to lose. "Fine, I'll do it... but you'll have to direct me to it."

[TheMMMification]

"Thanks for reminding me, little buddy. And thanks for the breakfast Mom." Marge says before sitting down at the table and eating her breakfast.

[~Yuri]

-MARGE-
You two sit down to eat. It was absolutely delicious; Nobody else could possibly make something this delicious if not your mom. It was special.

"Ah... I wish your father didn't work so hard, and spent more time with us... " Your mother said with a bit of melancholy in her voice. Thinking about it, you don't have a recollection of how your father looked at all. He was almost never home, and his job required him to travel a lot. You could count on your fingers the number of times you saw him.

You finished eating, and so did your mother. The clock on the wall indicated it was already 7:30 AM. Time surely flies by quickly. "You should be getting ready for that interview now. The transcontinental bullet trains are fast, but even they have their limits."

-TANIA-
The mall is extremely big, and has 6 floors. Like back on earth, there's a large variety of things to see. Clothing stores, downloads for the RSD Chip, stores selling all kinds of fun yet useless gadgets, retro stuff for those who are into it, libraries, and of course, lots of fast food stores and restaurants; the fried sweet potatoes are still as popular as ever. There's so much stuff it's hard to even choose where to begin.

-GREEN-
You go south. After some good 20 or more minutes of walking through this confusing arrangement of equal looking doors, you can see a bigger and more important looking door in the end of the hallway. It's still a long way from where you are, so time to get walking.

One thing that surely bothered you was just how silent the place was. You'd think that somewhere this size would be brimming with scientists and researchers, but you just couldn't hear anything.

Something startled you though: You heard a noise of shattering glass from a room you had already passed by, followed by the sound of a door opening.

-BEAT-
"Third one huh? Let's see what you got..."
The buff man opens a compartment located in your chest, inserts the speech module there, and closes that compartment. "A'ight. Try to say 'BEAT' to see which one you got."

You close your eyes and hope it is the module granting you speech. Your engines work hard and try to reproduce a sound as similar as possible to his command...

"...Meow."

The buff man breaks out laughing. "PFFTAHAHAHAHA! Oh my god, you should have seen the hopeful look fading out on your face! Did you really think I'd actually give the chance to choose? Did you SERIOUSLY not notice all the chips looked the same? Welcome to the streets bud!"

"Oh well! I'll prepare the arena. Go to the room on your left and pick a weapon over there."

-JORDAN-
You pick up the jar with the monkey head, and carry him out "Thank you... so much... you are a good... person..."

"Let's get... out of here..." The monkey head says, and as you go to the exit, you accidentally bump into one of the many glasses with conserved animals. I hope that deer head won't mind being knocked over. "That was... Steve... We were friends..."

You get out of the room. The bright light of wherever it is outside makes your eyes hurt, and after some seconds of getting used to it, you can see you're inside a corridor with a lot of rooms just like the one you left. looking north you can see a seemingly infinite amount of doors, and looking south you can see a bigger and more imposing door, with someone in the way. It's a green haired girl.

"I think... it's in the direction... of that girl..."

-JAY, TOGHAM & CASPER-
Casper picks up the gun, and attempts to shoot the two tires...

Bullseye! Casper manages to hit both rear wheels, reducing the speed of the ambulance. It doesn't stop though, and is still going in the direction of the group.

Just 10 more seconds until it hits the group.

Jay attempts to shoot the left tire again...

...and hits! All the ambulance's tires were shot, and the only thing keeping the ambulance going is the momentum, as well as the somewhat low friction of the ground, though it's much slower.

Even though the ambulance is stopping, it might still hit the group, Togham being the one in most danger. With all the tires being flat, the space between the ground and the bottom of the ambulance is even smaller; there's no way you could squish under that, and you don't have the strength to get up.

Less than 5 seconds left until it hits Togham, with almost everyone else having already escaped the ambulance's range.

Stuart picks Togham up from the ground. "Dang it, there's no time for me to run away with ya, boy... I hope y'like flyin'." In a desperate attempt, Stuart throws Togham to Joseph with extreme force. Joseph catches Togham, and the last thing Togham could see before landing on Joseph's arms was Stuart being hit and thrown away by the impact of the ambulance.

The ambulance stops.

[Megar]

Green, in panic, flings around to see what just came out of the door as his vines straighten in response to the sudden fear. They rest again shortly after as Green attempts to get a closer look at this new arrival.

"W-who are you?" He manages to get out, his trained ability to speak in a decently masculine voice betraying him as he comes out only with the voice of a scared girl. He chooses not to correct this mistake, partially out of forgetting in his fear and partially out of more important concerns.

[NanTheDark]

Gotta go buy clothes to look all cool and awesome
