Well I'm about halfway through the game with all of the Audio Clips and Quests completed. I just rescued Johnny last night and boy let me tell you, his Simulation and Loyalty Mission are SO. AWESOME. So I'll be writing a bit about those, and a bit about the initial transfer into the clutches of the alien overlord Zinyak.

Also, when I write stuff that takes place earlier, I may have to rearrange the chapters. Just a heads up in case anyone gets confused. Don't own anything, etc. you know the drill.

Happy reading!

Voices on the Radio

"My dear President, you seem upset," came a voice floating out of the stereo. Who else would it be but Zinyak's? After her spat with Gat the rest of the crew had taken the hint and left her alone for a while she ran around the simulation and blew off some steam. Yet again the ugly bastard was ruining another of the Boss's favorite songs. Admittedly the whole Biz Markie thing had been a little amusing, mostly because she didn't know if he was seriously trying to sing with it or was singing badly on purpose. But, instead of coming back with some smart remark, she switched off tunes.

The alien tutted lightly. "Oh, now that won't do," he continued, "Come now, I would surely have thought that regaining one of your most trusted allies would have you pleased as punch."

The Boss snarled as she swerved off the road and got out of the car, using her super powered legs to send her racing away from the snide voice as fast as she could. "To no avail it seems Madame President," he whispered sinuously in here ear, "You cannot escape me here."

Leaping into the air she glided to the nearest rooftop and used it to start a chain of rooftop jumps. There was a group of Zin guarding a relay nearby and she sent a blast of ice at them, freezing them in their tracks.

"Is he upset with you perhaps?" the overlord mused, "Angry that you didn't come to save him sooner?"

The bullets from the Boss' SMG turned the goons into icy little chunks before they disappeared into little red and black pixels.

Zinyak made a cooing noise, "Ohh that's right, you thought he was dead. You couldn't possibly believe that he was alive. No one could have survived that plane crash. Not even Johnny Gat. "

The Boss finally snapped. "Johnny could survive anything!" she roared at the sky, "I didn't think he was dead, I never believed it until-

"Until what?" the alien asked, amusement thick in his voice, "Until you solidified yourself in a position of power so high that your day to day life became so droll that you absolutely had to accept his fate? Until so much time had passed that you couldn't help but accept the most likely and probable outcome? Tell me, was it agonizing? You're crowing like you're cock of the walk Madame President, but deep down you humans are all emotional creatures. You feel more than you let on. Perhaps I should have constructed a simulation similar to Shaundi's for you instead of that obviously insufficient 1950s scenario."

Veering off to the right, The Boss activated her super sprint and made a quick beeline to the portal out and leaped into it with the full force of her body, jarring her in her restraints as she awoke in the real world.

Panting, she staggered forward, her legs giving out from under her. She hit her knees hard on the metal floor that sent a low boom through the room and hoped no one had heard. The Boss bent forward and put her hands on the floor to stop the room from spinning and panted, "Fuck me."

His laughter was still ringing in her ears.
