Dot was scanning through the messages to mainframe one day in her dot.com office when she came across a holographic recording, one that fuzzed and faded before the picture of a young woman came on screen. Her chrystaline silver black hair ran to her back, and contrasted sharply with her light blue skin and liquid brown eyes. Dot stared at the holograph, her mouth agape and her mind reeling in shock. If she hadnt known that Bob didn't have any siblings, she would have said that this woman was his sister. Finally, all the fuzzing stopped and the woman spoke.
"Mainframe, you must send us assistance at once. We are under attack by the-- I repeat, we are under ----- Please send assistance to the Adolon sys--- at on--."
The picture rocked as if from an explosion, then went black. The computer automatically went to the next message, and the picture of one of her stern faced associates lit up the screen and began jabbering on about some useless piece of information. Dot stood, not listening, her mouth still agape. Finally her senses kicked in, and she shut off the computer and left her office, heading for the principle building to find Phong and Bob.
Bob hit the energy ball back at Phong, who swung his energy boots to the left a little to late, and missed the energy ball, which knicked his side and put him into a spin. Bob laughed heartily as the game field dissipated around them, and Phong slowed to a stop.
"I see you have beaten me at my favorite game once again, Bob. You've been practicing, havent you?"
The blue skinned sprite shook his head, still laughing.
"No.. I think you're just getting old."
Phong looked at him in shock, then laughed with him.
"Arent we all."
Suddenly, a distressed looking Dot entered the room, carrying a small laptop with her, one of her constant companions. Without a word she set it down on a table and switched it on, scrolling through what looked like past messages until she came to one set with a holographic visiter.
"Look at this Bob… its someone asking Mainframe for help… she's…"
She stopped talking as the screen lit up with the young woman's face and she began replaying the message she had said earlier. Dot watched Bob's face as the message went on and finally came to an end. His face had drained of all color, fading to a very light shade of blue.
"Do you know who she is?"
Dot asked impatiently. Bob nodded his head slowly, eyes still glued to where the dark screen ahd played the message just moments before.
"Yes… she's my sister. I was born and raised in Andolon before I went to the supercomputer…"
Dot looked at him in shock, and he stared back at her. Sister?! He hadnt ever told her about having a sister.
"Why didn't you ever tell me you had a sister?"
Bob shook his head, frowning, his face becoming even paler.
"My sister was kidnapped when I was thirteen… I searched for her for years… she just…dissepeared without a trace.."
He trailed off as he was submerged into deep thought, and Phong chose this time to speak up.
"Until now… no matter the messenger, we must answer to their call for help. Is Mouse and the surfer still in town?"
"Should be… so what, we ask the surfer if he can get us to Andolon?"
Bob asked, his face furried into a frown. Dot looked once again at the computer screen, then grabbed Bob's arm and lead him out of the princple office.
"Im sure Ray and Mouse will help us. I think that the Saucy Mare is in town as well..."
