Prologue
"I'm going to be killed", thought the Downsizer as he ran down the hallway. The Chairman requested his presence hours ago, but his propeller had jammed up due to him being in a battle with a group of toons. Luckily, he sent them off running before they could do any real damage, but he had to run all the way from The Brrrgh.
At last he arrived in Bossbot HQ, and he quickly ran to the Executive Office Tower. Not many cogs got the access of the tower, more or less to be in the presence of the Chairman. As he ran inside, he found himself at an elevator, leading down. He quickly got on, just to hear the screaming of a Toon. "They should realize those toons aren't going to say a word by now", he thought. "Even if they did know something, it's purely about pathetic fun."
He pressed a button, and the elevator started to move. After what seemed like forever, he reached the floor he was requested to be at, B12. The elevator doors opened and he stepped onto a moving treadmill. He looked to both the left and right, and saw only other cogs working on their computers. Whatever they were working on was unknown, but it was probably another attempt to get rid of the fun in ToonTown, another failed attempt indeed. The treadmill finally stopped, and infront of him he saw the giant doors that lead to the office of the Chairman.
After a few seconds of standing still, the doors opened, allowing him to enter. He walked inside, and the doors closed behind him. The only light in the room was a dim lamp, which flickered every so often. He's been in this room multiple times already, and still cannot grasp the knowledge of how it was supposed to look. It was too dark. All of a sudden, the grim voice of the Chairman spoke up. "You're late." "My apologies, sir", as the Downsizer replied. "Those toons damaged my propeller, making me incapable of flying. I had to walk across ToonTown."
The Chairman was silent. It was so dark in the room, if not for him speaking earlier, he would not even know of the Chairman's presence. The Chairman liked it dark in here, for nobody in existence has ever seen how he looks. The rare few who have ever spoken to him are extremely lucky to have been fortunate enough. "I see…", finally replied the Chairman. " "But finally, I feel as if we have a successful plan to berid of those Toons."
He couldn't believe it, we've been trying for years, with plans that have been taking very long to assemble. How could something be brought up so fast and be thought of as successful? However, he trusted his boss' judgement. "Alright, what's the plan?" replied the Downsizer. All of a sudden, he felt the presence of another figure in the room, behind him. He turned around and his eyes widened. "Sir, what is this?" The Chairman emitted a loud laugh. "My friend, this is our victory."
He continued to laugh, he laughed so hard that the light in his office started flickering more than it should. The Downsizer couldn't believe it, this could be it. It was unbelievable. The plan was so well, but it was so risky. And it all played into the hands of… her. "We begin Phase A in a few days, for now we sit and start planning what happens after our friend here discovers what we need," remarked the Chairman. The Downsizer looked again at the figure standing behind him. After a few seconds, a smile grew upon his face. "Let's begin", he replied.
