Lana is walking down a corridor at the Carrington Institute.
She stops outside the Combat Simulator and watches through the window.
Inside the simulator, Joanna Dark is shooting simulations of enemies using the Falcon 2 gun from Perfect Dark.
After about 30 seconds of this, Jo exits the Combat Simulator. (Mechanical door sliding open and closed SFX needed.)
Lana:
Excuse me, Ms. Dark?
Joanna:
What?
Lana:
Is your name Joanna Dark?
Joanna:
Yeah. Who are you?
Lana:
My name is Lana Deschain. I'm the Princess of Videoland.
Joanna:
(somewhat in awe)
Really? Wow, yeah, you ARE! This is quite an honor. I'm Joanna Dark.
(embarassed)
Oh, you already knew that.
Lana and Joanna laugh.
Lana:
An officer at the front desk told me I'd probably find you here.
Joanna:
Yeah. I love the sims. As exciting as the real combat but not quite as dangerous. So, what brings you here to see ME?
Lana:
Well, Joanna, -
Joanna:
You can call me Jo.
Lana:
Thank you, Jo. Well, I'm here because of the League of Darkness.
Jo:
The League of Darkness?
Lana:
Have you heard of them?
Jo:
Sort of. On the news and such.
Lana:
Well, I'm trying to put together a team to go up against them, since the heroes on each video world can't handle them
individually. And...my father's been kidnapped.
Jo:
Oh, yes, I've heard. So sorry.
Lana:
Thanks. I'm hoping that a team could find my father faster than I or the authorities could.
Jo:
So, this team has no official endorsement from the Galactic Federation?
Lana:
No.
(after a pause to build up courage)
Would you please join my team, Jo?
Short pause.
Jo:
Who's on it already?
Lana:
So far, I've got Mega Man and Roll from Megaland. They're two skilled fighters. Mega Man has gone up against Dr. Wily, one of
the members of the League, lots of times and has always succeeded.
Jo:
Impressive.
Lana:
I've read a lot about you, Jo. You're 24 years old. Your training is complete. You're highly trained but inexperienced.
Superb reactions. Proficient with a variety of weapons. Very competent all-around agent. Highest recorded training scores resulted in the creation of a new class of training grade. You're the embodiment of the Carrington Institute's ideal agent, hence the call sign 'Perfect Dark'. You're very skilled in stealth, weaponry, and technology, making you the best agent the Carrington Institute has ever had. Little over a year ago, you had your first real assignment, saving the world, which you accomplished. Did I leave anything out?
Jo:
My preferred weapon is the Falcon 2.
Lana:
Oh, yeah. So, will you join my team?
Jo:
I don't know. You're asking me to join a vigilante group. Highly illegal. And I AM a Carrington Institute operative.
Lana:
(softly, almost crying)
Please. I really want you.
Short pause.
Jo:
I'll tell you what. Whenever I work as part of the team, I want to know how good the leader is. If you want me to be on your
team, you'll have to prove your worth to me. If you can get a higher score than me in the Combat Simulator, I'll join your
team. Deal?
Lana:
(happy)
Deal!
Jo:
Here's a Falcon 2.
Lana takes the gun.
They walk into the Combat Simulator. (Mechanical door opens and closes.)
Jo pressed some buttons to load a simulation.
Jo:
Get ready.
The simulation starts. Enemies and guns SFX. Lana and Jo grunt. This lasts the length of the simulation, however long that is
in the game.
The simulation ends.
Jo:
Well, you beat me. Well done, love.
Lana:
Thanks!
Jo:
I'll join your team.
Lana:
Thanks, Jo. Now, c'mon, we've only got a few mintes before a warp is supposed to open back to Megaland.
