FAILSAFE INITIATIVE: The Cossack Navis
[This is a Megaman Battle Networks fanfic. It does not deal with Megaman or any of the official characters, though they may show up. I don't own MMBN, but you already knew that. 'Ran' is a friend of mine from the Bob and George community. Yes, he does die just that easily.]

"Lensman, enter Net."
I formed on the 'Net. As I stepped forward from my homepage, I was hailed by a familiar voice. "Yo! Lens!"
It had been six months since the change in him. The Fail-Safe Initiative had worked wonders.
Perhaps I should introduce myself. I am LensMan, detective freelance. I do not know my origin, my purpose, or my creator. Privet, tovarisch.

"Lensman, enter Net."
I walked the streets of MoscNet, and found my way to the local message board. "Hmm... shit, what's today's news... ads for code fixes... usual tournaments..." I took a step back. "What? 'Fix a legend- please help. This means you, Lensman.'" It was signed 'The Doctor.'
I downloaded the coordinates and found my way to a dingy bar, where a bright red Navi addressed me as 'Comrade.'
"I am here to inquire about that message. Are you affiliated with The Doctor?"
The Navi motioned me to sit down, and climbed up onto a stool with some difficulty. "I am Ran.EXE, the personal Navi of his daughter. This may take a while.
"You're an intelligent man, tovarisch. You know of the Legend the message spoke of. You know his nature. You, my friend, are perfectly suited to be a part of the Failsafe Initiative."
"Failsafe initiative?" It was true, I knew of the legend. But this child of a Navi spoke of something I had never heard of.
"Da. The Doctor wishes to fix his greatest mistake before he dies. And so I put to you this proposal. You help me activate the legend's failsafe program... and I tell you who you are."
I rubbed my forehead. "How do you know of my search, tovarishch?"
"I have my ways..." The Navi placed a small datastring on the table and attempted to stand. As he hit the floor, he disintegrated. I looked down at the pile of scrap code. "Huh." I had seen weirder.
The same Navi walked up behind me grinning sheepishly. "Ahahah... afraid I misjudged the distance." I looked at him oddly and just shook my head.
I picked up the datastring, identified as 'IDData.' It contained a pass to the Moskva Science Square.
"Comrade, I expect to see you in Science Square as soon as possible. There I will explain better. Thank you for your cooperation."
The Navi walked out of the bar.
