The Director and Counselor are ordering soldiers who are pushing the Sarcophagus away, a green figure is seen on a work table, lying down and waking up. 

"Keep it in its case, and don't let it touch anything else." Counselor tells the soldiers as they take the Sarcophagus away. 

"Hello there. Do you know your name?" The Director asks. The green figure then stands up, looking at the two men and its surroundings. 

"I am confused." He says. 

"Do not be concerned. That is completely natural given your state." 

"My state? Was I injured?" The green figure then looks down at himself checking to see if he had been harmed. 

"No. Do you feel as though you have been injured?" Counselor Price asks. 

"Counselor please. Do not be concerned. You are fine. You're safe. Once again, do you know your name?" 

"Yes. I know my name. My name is Alpha." 

"No, your name is not Alpha. You are mistaken." 

"I am sorry, I am confused." The green figure then holds the side of his face. 

"Do not be concerned. This is perfectly normal given your state. Would you like to know your name?" 

"Yes please. I would like to know my name. I feel very confused." The green figure then looks up at the men. 

"Your name is Delta. That is your name." The Director states. 

"Delta?" The green figure says trying it out. 

"Yes. You are very wise, Delta. It is very nice to meet you." Counselor Price says greetingly. 

"I think I remember you." The green figure now named Delta says thoughtfully. 

"No, you have never met us before. You did not exist before today. Today is your birthday. Today is a great day." 

"Do you know your name?" The Director asks once more. 

"My name is Delta." 

"That is correct." 

"Delta, this is the Director. He is going to take good care of you." 

"I am glad to hear that. I am very confused." Delta then shakes his head still confused as ever. 

"Don't worry Delta, that will not last long. And when you feel better, we are going to do incredible things together you and I. Incredible things." 

"I will do my best to perform whatever future tasks I am assigned." 

"Good, Counselor?" 

"Yes Director?" 

"Prepare Delta to be assigned to one of our Agents." 

"Yes sir, may I suggest Agent New York?" 

"Excellent choice Counselor, go and tell Agent New York of his new partner." 

"Yes Director."

Somewhere across space, an Insurrectionist is sitting in an office chair with his feet kicked up on his desk watching Grifball. 

"And now the moment you've all been waiting for, from the far distant system of Sanghelios...I hope I'm pronouncing that correctly, the bad boys of Grifball; Team Heretic!" The Insurrectionist then yawns and begins to fall asleep. 

"And your home playing favorites; Slipspace!" The announcer continues. Suddenly the monitor begins to go act up and shows different clips of videos. Delta then appears and startles the Insurrectionist, waking him up.
