As they walked across ground level, a vid-window popped up.

Larry stared at the curser in the last section. Knowing the other options didn't have anything to do with them, he wondered if they could use it.
As if reading his mind, Otto suggested, "How about you put in for it to create a new format based on what we do."
He tried it by typing "-Create new format based on what format-ee(s) does|
[ENTER]"
"Format creation begun." Said a soothing, female voice. "This may sting a little."
An electrical shock engulfed them.
Larry rubbed his head and asked weakly, "What just happened."
"We apparently got our new 'format'." Otto said.
Another vid-window came up and the female voice read the information for them.

VID-WINDOW
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------
You have now been given the format Time Sprite of Time Squad.
Enforcing the past, to protect the future.
Your icon: Larry's icon can be found in the heart of his hard drive. Here are the following codes to remember that activates different functions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------
Larry studied the function codes to memorize them.
"Close window please" said the female voice.
Larry reached up and pressed the close button on the top-right corner of the screen.
"Guys?" Otto said, strangely. "Why have I suddenly got a feeling of realization?"
"Hmm." Larry thought to himself. "I seem to have it, too."
Both, at the same time, wondered if Tuddrussel felt it, too. "Tuddrussel?"
He almost jumped, startled "Huh, wha- is it 'go time' already?"
Larry and Otto sighed.
"The feeling's saying that we're inside a computer!" Larry said.
"And get this!" Otto replied. "We're something these people here call 'users'. And they don't like users, because they send in deadly games putting entire sectors in danger."
"I don't want to be disliked!" Larry wailed.
"We can't always get what we want." Tuddrussel assured him.
"Try telling that to yourself." Larry snickered.
Tuddrussel growled at him before continuing, "Of course, we can always pretend we're not users."
"TUDDRUSSEL, THAT IDEA IS SO CRAZY." Larry yelled at him before realizing: "It just might work!"
They all agreed then just stood around.
"Now what?" asked a bored Otto.
Someone in the audience stood up and shouted to him "HOW ABOUT AN INTRO SPEECH LIKE THEY ALWAYS TO IN REBOOT THINGS!!"
"That'll work for something to do"
[Small Time Squad tune on bells]
Otto: We come from outside the net.
Though systems, peoples, cities, and time and space by time travel,
To this place: Mainframe. A giant life-filled metropolis inside a computer.
[Reboot music] [The three going up to the transporter Larry presses a few buttons. In a flash, they disintegrate][They appear in some place in mainframe from a spark that grows into a big flash][more scenes with Time Squad in ReBoot.]
[Tuddrussel showing his badge to the hidden Principal Office security cameras (scene shown later)] Our format: Time Sprites of Time Squad. [The three group together, and Larry opening his wrist-top to type a command] Enforcing the past to protect the future. [Larry finishes then presses enter. In a flash, the three disappear][ReBoot symbol]
