Elixir looked up. Someone was motioning for him. He should probably answer, he thought, but he couldn't be bothered. All he wanted now was to rest for a bit…
Harold motioned again. Elixir looked blank, then fell asleep at his desk again. Damn, Harold thought. Oh well. Better start the unveiling myself.
'Lan!' Maylu shouted. Lan looked round. Maylu was waving at him, standing with Tory, Dex, Yai, Sean, and Chaud. Lan ran over.
'Hey, Maylu, guys! I didn't know you where here for the NetCity trials!' Lan said.
'Well, we are, we're here, and we're ready!' Yai told him. The door behind her opened, and a man stepped out.
'Welcome to NetCity! Come in, come in!' He said. He led them inside. Inside was a huge server, connected to several rooms. A few offices, a cafeteria, and a lounge. He opened the lounge door. 'Just wait in here, and someone will come in to help you. Feel free to jack yourselves in.' He said. The group walked in, and he shut the door behind them.
'Wow.' Maylu said. 'This is so cool!'
'I know!' Tory was already sitting on a recliner sofa, and relaxing. Lan rubbed his hands together.
'Well then, shall we jack-in?' He asked. Without waiting for a reply, he attached his PET to a terminal on the table. 'Megaman, jack-in! Activate!' The rest followed suit.
'Roll, jack-in! Activate!'
'Iceman, jack-in! Activate!'
'Gutsman, jack-in! Activate!'
'Gylde, jack-in! Activate!'
'Axl, jack-in! Activate!' The group looked at Chaud. After a few seconds, he sighed and raised his hands in defeat.
'Fine. Protoman, jack-in! Activate!'
Megaman looked around. He was in a lounge, just like the one in the real world.
'Ah, now this is luxury!' He said, jumping into an armchair. Roll and Axl sat next to him. Iceman lay down on the sofa, and Gutsman sat on another one. Glyde and Protoman stood at the window, looking out. Suddenly, a light flashed blue over the door. Then it flashed red, then green. Finally, with a hiss, the door opened. A navi clad in scientist clothing walked into the middle of the room and sat down, facing the others. Iceman blinked open one eye.
'Who in net are you?' The midget Eskimo asked the navi.
'My name is Reginald. Please, call me Reg. I am the navi for the vice-president of NetCity. I am here to answer any questions you may have.' Megaman leant towards Reg, clasping his hands.
'Yeah, where are we?' The blue dude asked.
'Ah, I was hoping you'd ask that. You are in the NetCity guest arrival lounge. You are not actually inside NetCity, but rather in the gatehouse, as you might call it.' Reg answered. Axl raised an eyebrow.
'And we'd call it that, because…?' He asked.
'To stop viruses entering NetCity, we have a gigantic firewall posted around the edge of it. It resembles a huge wall. There is logical way in, and that is through the gate. You are in the building surrounding the gate, which houses a few labs and maintenance rooms, for things we cannot do outside the net.' Reg replied. He looked over at Glyde and Protoman, who were still staring out of the window. He laughed. 'Ah yes. You've noticed our virtual window? It's really just a wall T.V.' He chuckled again. Suddenly the window turned into a video clip of a baseball match. Feeling a bit foolish, Glyde and Protoman sat down.
'So, are you going to show us around then?' Axl asked.
'Yes, Miss Yai has been waiting a long time to see NetCity.' Glyde added. Reg chuckled again.
'Yes, you have waited a long time to see NetCity, haven't you? Well, I can't stop that. Come on, follow me.' Reg stepped into the doorway he had come through. The rest of the navis followed him. When they all stepped into the doorway, the door slid shut.
Harold motioned again. Elixir looked blank, then fell asleep at his desk again. Damn, Harold thought. Oh well. Better start the unveiling myself.
