[After being teleported, Kinkajou, Tetra, and Delta are dropped from the sky into a lush field full of trees and flowers. They are instantly transformed into scavengers in traveling gear, with robes and scarves.]

Kinkajou: *lands on her butt* GAH! Couldn't be a little harder eh?

Tetra: *Groans and sits up* My tail feels weird...

Delta: *glances at Tetra and pales* SCAVENGER!!!

Tetra: WHERE!? *spins around* Why can't I feel my tail? DID THE SCAVENGER CUT IT OFF!?

Delta: RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!

Tetra: *looks down* SCAVENGER!!!

Both: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kinkajou: Get ahold of yourselves! *Grabs them by the collars* Look at claws--er, hands.

Tetra: *slowly looks down* Uhh, sis?

Delta: *looks up at Kinkajou* WHOA!!

Kinkajou: What is it?

Delta: What are you wearing???

Kinkajou: *Realizes that she's wearing highlight yellow robes with hot pink straps.* Oooh! Neat!

Tetra: We're supposed to be in a video game right? So...where are we?

Kinkajou: *looks around* I'd say some sort of open-world game?

Tetra: How do you know?

Kinkajou: Because I can run up that hill without hitting an invisible barrier. *Dashes up the hill*

Tetra: Wait!

Delta: *falls* Stupid scavenger legs!

[Tetra and Delta meet Kinkajou on top of the hill]

Kinkajou: I only see mountains... the forest...a creek...we could be anywhere.

Tetra: Check your backpacks!

[everyone drops to the ground and digs through their packs.]

Delta: *Pulls out a sleek tablet* Sweet! I guess we can find something to kill the time. *presses the button*

Tablet: YAHAHAAA!!

Delta: GAAAH!!! *Drops the tablet*

Tablet: Ah! Smell that fresh grass!

Kinkajou: What in Pyrrihia is that?

Tablet: Before I answer, may someone flip me over? I fear my screen will get smudged.

Kinkajou: *gently flips the device around, revealing a bright screen with a happy face on it.*

Tablet: Ah much better!

Tetra: What is that?!

Tablet: I have been sent here by my master as your official video game guide to help you on your quest!

Delta: Master?

Tablet: Your brother!

Tetra: Oh, great.

Kinkajou: So...who are you though?

Tablet: My designation is Friendly Autonomous Robotic Technology!

Tetra: Wierd name. Got anything shorter?
