Well dang, Koobismo. Now how expensive will it be to bring Shep. back to life? ;p

Looking forward to see where this goes.

Ah, Glitchland. I went there on holiday a few times. That was enough for me.

 

[Lightknight]

Ok, a decent amount of payoff in the story. Another good one with plenty of mystery to come. Great world building.

I haven't been digging the slow build-up so far, but this time we get a bit more of the story and setting fleshed out. Best episode yet.

Those little wenches killed a version of FemShep. They must pay.

 

[Fappy]

FemShep was Scorpion the whole time!

...Yeesh, just what the hell went wrong with this place?!? Now I'm curious...

 

[Tigerlily Warrior]

FemShep....dead! NOOOOOOO

This is like a crazy dream after a long session of gaming.

Glad to hear that, Imp Emissary. As for bringing Shep back to life - the cost equivalent of three Cerberus armies should just about to cover it this time. I'm sure TIM will spare no expense.

Located on the Bethesda Island, Obsidian Peninsula, take the Ubisoft drive and turn into Uplay road, go straight until you reach the Origin hotel?

Thanks Lightknight! This one was born in rather complicated circumstances, as I've been struggling with insomnia this past week and underslept rather massively, to a rather unhealthy degree - seriously, I arrived at a point where using English is an actual struggle at the moment, and both my grammar and ability to present thoughts coherently are somewhat impeded. Was pretty anxious on whether I would be able to pull this one off (especially after cutting out a few of the "glitch-presentation" scenes, due to lack of time). Glad you liked it!

Thanks, Spiff! Hopefully you'll be satisfied with the pacing of the upcoming episodes - the speed should pick up in the very next ep and stay on that level for a while.

They're but poor little creatures!

FemShep was Scorpion the whole time!

Fun fact: every human being hides a fully developed Scorpion inside! We're like giant Kinder Surprise eggs, but, uh, with Scorpion instead of toys. And meat instead of chocolate. Also, unlike Kinder Surprise, human beings are legal in the States.

...Yeesh, just what the hell went wrong with this place?!? Now I'm curious...

Curious is good, curious is veryvery good!

FemShep....dead! NOOOOOOO This is like a crazy dream after a long session of gaming.

Brought to you by Insomnia (tm). Do not fret, Tigerlily, FemShep lives on in MS. Game On... well, is ruled by its own rules of cosmos.

So is this series going to be a crossover with literally every game ever?

Hey, if that could get me into the Guinness Book of Records... In all seriousness: not every game ever, but quite a few games indeed, that's a guarantee.

I normally hate "Trapped in a Video Game" plots, but this is damn interesting.

Thanks, Scrythe.

Have the codes in two, three, or four been translated yet? I've started on two, though screwed up somewhere, and as for three and four...I might do them, if I'm asked to, but there isn't any spacing between the letters, which complicates things.

I remember watching this movie called How To Train Your Wyvern once... Didn't someone loose an arm or something?

Other than that, I guess it's too late to say <link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fqm6d6GPdVE>"There's a glitch in the system..."

 

[zombiejoe]

I love the idea of dealing with glitches in this world, it will make things very interesting I'm sure.

 

[Guffe]

Keep 'em coming mate!
Looking forward to new episodes every week so far

 

[Dwarfman]

FemShep!! NOOOOOO!! No worries though! I shall continue to Hold the Line! And wait patiently for the next issue of Marauder Shields *wink wink! nudge nudge! subtle hint! say no more!*

Loving your work Koobs! Keep it up my friend

Well, I'm suspecting the Illusive Man doesn't exist in this virtual reality. RIP Commander Shepard (for the 3rd time, I think...)
