So. It's been a few weeks since the doctor disappeared.

We need to get our shit together, guys. If we can't act on his will, we have to act on our own, so we don't look like idiots when or if he comes back.

I believe in you guys. But just because the doc's gone doesn't mean we're useless. We're not brainless automatons, right?

So.

Crash got married. To Elec Man.

...

I'm going back to work.

Hey, Shadow. Um.

Thanks for setting me straight on that system delay in that area of the fortress.

I know we quarrel a lot, but... you showed me we're all on the same side and...

Yeah. Thanks.

No Tsukaimon, I don't think painting green crosses and stripes on Armadimon is a good alternative to Mettaurs.

Anyone who brings up what happened last week is going to get a Metal Blade in the f@#$%ing eyes.

Anyway, Quick, I'm taking over overseeing construction.

Oh, and Crash, we're building a base. Thought someone was gonna tell you, but clearly the moment something happens to me, it all falls apart.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have real work to do.

Man.

I wish I was as fast as Quick...

And smart as the doctor...

... And as strong as Crash...

... And as stealthy as Shadow Man...

...

Man... I'm not as cool as they are...

Hey, Q.

I've noticed Crash is working himself into a huge mess. I figured you had something to do with that.

Congratulations, you know how to make people twist in the wind. Shadow would be proud of you.

But I'm sure you're gonna think I'm using you by saying this. Whatever.

Yo.

I want my money.

I'm unfrozen.

...

Why is all of this stuff drawn on me?!

You know what I just realized?

I asked out that Iris girl.

This makes me more of a man than that Zero chump, doesn't it?

Ha ha, who says newer is better?
