CAMERA FADES INTO AN EXCACATION SITE IN AN INTERNET TUBE. THE WALLS OF THE TUBES ARE LINED WITH RUNNING 1S AND 0S, THE MIDDLE OF THE TUBE IS JAMMED TIGHT WITH PICTURES OF CATS, PORN AND INFOWARS ARTICLES. OVER A DOZEN GOTHS WORK TIRELESSLY AT THE BLOCKAGE TO FIND THEIR WAY THROUGH.

VERSUS IS TAKING A BREAK, LEANING AGAINST THE WALL WITH HIS ARMS FOLDED, LOOKING THOUGHTFUL AND TOTALLY COOL IN A YOUNG MARLON BRANDO SORT OF WAY. HE TURNS AS HE HEARS FOOTSTEPS COMING FROM THE TUNNEL, AND WALKS TO GREET SAYA AND APATHY.

Versus: Glad to see you could find Saya. Where was she?

Apathy: Shelfari, where else?

Saya: [trying to not get lost in Versus's eyes] Versus! You're along for the adventure, then?

Versus: Of course! I was on Humane's team, I feel...responsible for his disappearance [looks into the distance in a noble manly manner]

Saya: Excellent, so I assume you know what he was on to before he disappeared?

Versus: He wouldn't tell me much, he said he wanted to know for sure that his info was good before he raised the alarm. He headed off to Wikipedia, and I went to check on him from time to time. The last time I saw him, he seemed really excited, and said he was on to something really good. But the next time I came to check on him, he was gone. There wasn't a trace of him. Eventually I had to leave and report to Apathy, and when I tried to come back the tube was blocked up again.

Saya: When can the tube be cleared?

Versus: [motions to walk with him, Saya and Apathy follow] The problem is that as soon as the tubes are cleared, more just keeps rolling in. Its like they know what we're up to. So, right now we're working on making a smaller tunnel through the rubbish. If it works, we can get through in a few hours.

Apathy: [rips his shirt off] Just so the audience doesn't get bored, folks.

Saya: Dude, now? Its too early. We have to get exposition in and start the plot.

Apathy: Yeah, but you need a little something to keep people iterested. SCC! Where are you?

SCC: [appears seemingly out of nowhere.] Yes?

Apathy: Whenever I have to become eye candy, I need you to rub oil on me if I'm not covered in a manly sweat.

SCC: It would be an honor, sir!

Saya: ANYWAY, [rolls her eyes but makes a mental note to keep her eye on Apathy and SCC and see where this develops] You found NO trace of Humane at all?
Versus: Well, not exactly. I found this scrap of paper in the halls of Wikipedia. [hands Saya the paper]

Saya: [Frowns] Its...a cake recipe.

Versus: Oh, uh, its not code?

Saya: Unless “beat the eggs” means “beat the Trolls”, and “add sugar” means “give them diabetes”, I don't see how it could be.

Versus: What about whats written on the other side?

Saya: [turns it over] “Find Kontan?” Uh, no. Unless Kontan has the Troll defeating cake, no.

Apathy: Kontan's involved in this? Shouldn't we go find out why?

Saya: If we can find out what Humane knows, we'll know why he wanted to see Kontan. This could just be that he wanted to have cake with Kontan, it doesn't mean we need Kontan to find the Prepuce.

Apathy: I can't help but feel this is a plot point.

Saya: It just might be, Apathy. It just might be.
