Total Drama (X): Ultimate Islands!
Episode 21: Survive A Night Or So
Part 1: Before The Chase

Sorry that there's no Titans, the producers don't really want their island destroyed nor the show, but Chris has his back-up plan...the contestants get to chill on the island all-day, all-night and all having a good time!

And, uh, nothing else definitely happens, not a revenge scheme on Mikasa by Reiner, not returning faces coming to bring the "kills" or some contestant-betraying action!

And there's no traps to boot and definitely no sleep deprivation

...

...

...

Nah, Chris McLean's never that generous ever.

1602jaw: Riley's...not exactly a diplomat and Aisling got sent home with her wolves, so she was not sick! Legoshi's elimination kinda got setup, so...Coachman really is about to spin things on.

(Obviously delayed DBD reference aside, let's just friggin' go.)


"Last time on Total Drama X, these guys had the throwback of a lifetime, as they had been through some action, but not some Total Drama action, the Fiery Foxes and Chill Capybaras had to get their teammates, wherever by jumping, kicking stuff or killing mammoths at absurd speeds..."

Mammoths were killed for the sake of Chris' spectacle.

"...they slowly got their team back together for the final challenge, a disaster zone every remaining contestant besides two from each team had to push through and the chill team lost the challenge and Kasumi, while the Foxes...got something."

The Fiery Foxes got a serious deal on some Chris-branded food, which was...definitely received.

"Either way, the votes were as spicy as the other teams' name, as Legoshi, who got spooked, Aisling, who ate a fake disease and Luigi, who apparently did something crazy, got eliminated along with Kasumi, so they were sent out of paradise!"

The four eliminated contestants were shown.

"Today's a day, a day for giants to roam and wreck the competition and a day for the titans of this season to come out and prove their worth and for the big boys to play..."

And then there was the classic zoom-out.

"...on TOTAL DRAMA X: ULTIMATE ISLANDS!"

'

Sudden title change?

Not to be worried, I just wanted to unify my series into one consistent thing, even if Ultimate Islands is a bit of a door stopper.

'

Chris was mad for one obvious reason.

He couldn't really use the Titans to scare all of the contestants, mostly because the players who would be Titans would either be stuck between the trees or had better ideas than being stuck on a summer camp potentially stomping on innocent people.

Also, it was war-time and the producers weren't exactly down to deal with the consequences, long story short, lawsuits suck and so does the conflict between Paradis and Marley.

Anyways, other people weren't mad at all, rather excited for the next challenge, mostly because they were on the team that won.

"Can we even get away with this? I mean, Nickelback sucks and Post Malone doesn't suck!" Deadpool remarked, as a true mashup was blasting an obscure part of the forest. "Nah, this is a fanfic, they can't sue us for money we don't have."

"Yeah, that makes a ton of sense. But Chris is in this fic, so we can't do it forever-" Lowain had a red solo cup full of clean water.

This was still Total Drama, but Dante's choice of song stopped that...or lyrics, as someone broke that boombox long ago.

"They say Savage, why you got a twelve car garage, when only HAVE FIFTEEN CARS, BECAUSE WE WANNA BE BIG ROCKSTARS, LIVING IN HILL TOP HOUSES WITH FIFTEEN CARS!" Dante had to shout, since that was the way these guys were feeling.

"Not gonna lie, as much as it was 'wowowow', the fact that it was Nickelback, though, is a little bit of a bummer. Still a sick mashup, dude." Rock praised the heck out of Dante's sudden tone switch.

"Who needs 15 cars, when you can take the train everywhere?" Iori commented, not even in a bad mood.

"What, you don't want the wind rustling in your hair, speeding?" Rock was genuinely confused, as Dante raised an eyebrow.

Iori took a breath and said...

"No, who would want fifteen damn cars?"

"I would, Iori, gotta have some fun." Dante instantly replied.

"Look, the mashup was good and I still don't need 15 cars." Iori remarked. "Anyways, I'm gonna fuck off!"

"Er-uh, buzzkill!" JFK shouted.

JFK, Iori, Dante, Rock, Deadpool, Lowain, Kyo (hidden behind a tree that Iori's deliberately ignoring), Pinstripe Potoroo, Sakura, and finally, Michiru were listening to the very hilarious mashups of two artists who would be cool with each other.


As for some of the ladies of the Foxes, they were up to their own set of fun stuff aside from technically legal karaoke, holed up in the arts and crafts place, putting their creativity to the test.

Mostly Rapunzel, who was finally done with one project that she was not smiling about and Hsien-Ko, who was trying to reach a thing with Min-Min's arms.

"Finally, I got everyone on this weird thing we're all doing! Now I can relax and find a way to beat that old man!" Rapunzel showed a portrait of Min Min.

"Nice, was the first portrait of yourself?" Min Min asked, her arms still struggling to reach a knife.

"Nope, it took me a long while just to do that without getting embarrassed."

"Oh, cool, yeah, just..."

Min Min instanly got smacked down to the ground the recoil of her other arm, completely with a face smack, as Hsien-Ko got the knife back and accidentally stepped on the stretchy arms that were pain, yet Min Min held back her screams.

"Oh my god, are you okay?" Hsien-Ko asked.

"...No." Min Min answered. "Can I just get out some help?"

"Yeah, we'll carry you...together!" Rapunzel stood up instantly, ready to help a fellow lady out. "Lady Min Min, let's get you healed!"

"Does someone have healing powers?" Hsien-Ko immediately asked, as Min Min groaned some more. "She need some armed help!"

"Help, say no more! I've got the powers to heal like a villain does!" Giovanni immediately stood up, preparing one of his best shots.

Needless to say, it was a little bit chaotic in there, as Min Min promptly dodged the hot ball of soup that came her way and it managed to hit Mai, who basically fanned it away and let it drop to the floor.

Giovanni was disappointed and the rest was history, as he went for his second go and this time, it hit Min Min's face and...it was still hot soup, as her eyes weren't having it.

Despite this, there was two people that were sure that the situation was going to go well, in spite of Mai being ready to fight the wannabe villain with her own moves...

...Pit and Miko were genuinely looking at each other, as the tween angel and the teen gamer had to ask one more important question in the corners of the arts and crafts area.

"Do you really believe I'm 1200 years old? Because that's a bit messed up if so." Pit said.

"Yeah...this is weird. Where do you wanna take this?"

"I don't know!"

"I don't know either!"

Pit and Miko stopped for a second to realised that Min Min's soup intake wasn't really healing her arms, as they were thinking about something.

"I mean, I look like a 12 year old and I'm like older than...than...some very old wizard dude and you're actually 16!" Pit said. "Wow, this is going to be complicated."

"Yeah, it is...or it could not be." Miko stated. "We kinda kissed, yeah, but we always came together to play some games. You wanna get your game on?"

"I mean, it's where most of the guys are probably at. And-" Pit looked away from Miko to see that Min Min was...healing?

"-We're in some wacky thing and Chris probably has a crazy challenge."

"YES, your gaming destruction's inevitable." Miko said. "In Splatoon."

"Try me, I do Nintendo!"

And just like that, Pit and Miko were about to game, Rapunzel and Hsien-Ko regretted letting Giovanni help, Tifa actually threw some herbs at Min Min's arms and Giovanni was proud of himself for trying something different.

*Min Min's confessional*

Min Min's eyes were a little bit dizzy.

"I don't want to eliminate Giovanni despite him kinda messing up my eyesight, because he's definitely a nicer guy than any villain I've met or seen. Coyle's kinda scarier on TV than up close, though."

*Confessional cut*


Well, now it's time for the main alliance besides one who was wearing a sombrero to be up in the higher reaches of Pahkitew and the other who wore a sombrero that was clearly burnt in places.

"What's with the burning hats?" Nicole suspiciously asked.

"Don't ask, lady, it was well-earned!" Pinstripe bragged.

"Well, why are they actually burning?" Azula asked more forcefully.

"Us dudes did some spicy bets and uh...the hats got hit by the bet."

Pinstripe and Iori just looked at each other like they had done something that they instantly regretted, as Azula chuckled at the foolishness and looked at Yumeko like she had done something to spur it.

Which was true.

"Yumeko, you should stop putting ridiculous bets with results that will only get you caught in the throes of a well-planned attack. We actually need a strategy to order to win because like or not, Coachman orchestrated almost all of last night's elimination." Azula explained. "And I could only stand there, as our team won the challenge."

"So, you agree that I'm good for sending Legoshi home with a single whisper." Coachman was quite the bored man. "And that you're-"

"For the record, you're still terrible at almost everything else. In order to turn it around, you'll have to be better than donkey lettuce man." Azula explained, as Nicole and Iori oohed at the insult. "So, do something about it."

"But I cannot do whatever I did yesterday by being attached to your relatively useless ass!"

"...Then try it doing it within this alliance, which would be more impressive." Azula answered, practically instantly. "Anyways, someone needs to be targeted on this team, as there's more than a few people that don't do anything."

"Really? I think the people that we have, no matter how stupid they are, are the only reason why we're still safe." Coachman argued, quite hilariously.

"I do not have to like someone in order to believe that they are worth something, which you have none of..." Azula said. "Yumeko, please tell me you have something useful."

"There's a big bunch of people that are teaming up on both teams to do...something. I don't exactly know." Yumeko answered, leaving the answer oddly vague.

Azula knew what was up, Iori and Nicole just wanted the arguing match to be over and Pinstripe didn't exactly have that much to say...well, that much was definitely correct.

"Great, that's a total of nothing! Mister donkey lettuce man over here practically controlled the elimination like it was nothing!" Pinstripe shouted. "Lady of dead empire, what's your damage?"

"Dominated in the challenge...simple as-"

"Okay, okay...clearly we have different priorities. Azula's focused on winning all of the time and I am focused on moving forward in this game...oh well!"

Coachman and Pinstripe left the conversation like they had a fashion festival to get to and they wanted to be on time and say some words to the haters...or hater in this case.

Azula, Iori, Nicole and Yumeko kinda saw the obvious move.

"Wow, they even have a friendship! I'm not that surprised, though." Nicole said.

"But that is actually quite surprise?"

*Azula's confessional*

The firebender was anticipating the mad, mad war within the same team.

"All that boasting and he still made his move very obvious. What will you do when I actually come for you?" Azula asked. "Will you crack like a prison worker or rise like my worthless brother who needs my advice?"

*Confessional cut*


Muscle Man was just eating the very questionable food angrily, as Catalina was getting a mean look at the very nervous Tiana and Tanya wondered how she managed to get of all people.

Riley Freeman AKA Lil Breezy.

Not really much of a genius, but definitely a fighter, a gun kid and more importantly, can bypass the censors at will and is currently about his burgeoning rap career.

Or something.

"Yeah, we got this shit in the bag!" Riley shouted, being the only one that was at least positive. "We dropped four homies and they sucked!"

"Bro, how do you even know that they suck?" Muscle Man asked. "Two of those eliminated guys are kinda incredible."

"Bruh, they ain't, but this team has got me." Riley said.

*Tanya's confessional*

Tanya was not pleased.

"The second biggest mistake was not letting Riley get swung voted on because he's quite the insubordinate dumbass. Additional, his bars are terrible...it'll probably show up. The biggest mistake was not eliminating him in the dodgeball challenge."

*Yuri's confessional*

The karate girl was just punching a...punching bag.

"Seriously, someone needs to come in and help wrap up this guy's rap!" Yuri said. "And time in the competition!"

*Confessional cut*

In spite of the two confessionals, Riley was about to drop some.

"Uh, you guys are gonna win and I'm gonna get paid! I don't care about who's in, you bouta got played...I'm trying my best and y'all not liking it?"

"No! What's with the sudden attitude switch? We lost." Yuri told him, ready to throw down with a child. "No thanks to you."

"Bitch, get out of my face? I didn't do anything to slow your butt down and I'm not gonna snitch on you 'cause you're strong as hell!"

"Shut up!"

It was not nice, not especially for Samus, who was looking towards Snake for a little bit of advice or Catalina, who got up and promptly pimp slapped the heck of the kid from Woodcrest.

The couple were doing a strategy thing.

"How do we vote him out?" Samus asked. "He's clearly not playing honestly."

"I actually want him out because he's a nine-year old kid on Total Drama and that could not have helped him at all. Look at him, he's obviously in an alliance that wants to drop him any minute." Snake quietly explained, as Samus looked around the people that were interested.

Catalina wasn't there anymore, but Tanya just facepalmed and Muscle Man said...something.

"Snooping around looking for potential alliances to be in?"

"Pretty much." Snake remarked. "I just hope he doesn't mess up this challenge."

"I hope he does."

"That wouldn't be very wise."

Samurai Jack got a some looks from the couple.

"I was listening the whole time, I apologise."

"Don't worry about it, you're clearly a survivor." Samus stated, not so worried about it.

Soon enough, three of some storng players were keeping things quiet, as Tanjiro was wondering about something...smelly, sniffing quite the particular smell and he didn't exactly know he was particuarly unnerved by the sense of it.

But he had to find out where it came from and so he just kinda booked it out of here.

"-Oh, I shouldn't be that surprised. And I do know that this isn't good...at all." Samurai Jack asked.

"Of course, it isn't and Tanjiro's probably very likely near the top of that list." Samus stated. "And that's if Riley doesn't get himself eliminated."

"...Yes." Samurai Jack said. "Wait, where is the demon slayer?"

"That's a really good question. He sniffed something and immediately left."

"Hopefully, it's not who I think it is."

The trio were plain worried, as they were in here with better things to do...besides sniff out a demon slayer with better smell than they individually had, as the rest of the team were still...

..."Bruh, what are you even talking about, you're still pretty good!" Kyo tried to motivate some guys...

...in a loser state, but it was no time to be a loser.


Speaking of losers, Rock and Clover weren't those and they were certainly hanging on the top of the trees, doing the one thing that a white man and a white girl would do.

Espionage or something, as Coachman was randomly walking around the place to clear his mind.

"Uh, why are you looking at the old guy?" Rock asked. "He's like a supervillain, but he sucks, so what's the big deal, babe?"

"You said it. He's, like, a boring supervillain and I know he's not because he's stupid!" Clover explained, as Rock's mind lit up with so many possibilities.

"Oh, I got it!"

"Yeah, you're lucky that you're not...looking at your bully!"

Rock definitely noticed that Clover was hiding something, but he didn't really know what it was, only that it allowed him to be on the top of trees.

"Cool. Why the old guy?" Rock asked. "He doesn't seem like a genius."

"...Because, hello, I wanna know how to win three million-"

Rock definitely noticed something else, as the tree was shorter and Clover was in the middle of something

"-dollars. Is that Deadpool?"

"No way!"

And just like that, the tree fell down and Rock hugged the trees and Clover just jumped down and landed like she didn't jump from a tree in a coniferous forest, which was pretty fuckin' tall, as Deadpool and Squirrel Girl wondered what was up with the couple.

Rock was very mad, but he wasn't about to swing on a man that instantly healed from having a tree fall on top of him.

"Yeah, it is, finally back after one episode! How are you doing?" Deadpool asked.

"...Good?" Rock asked. "How are you even alive?"

"Good question, ask my self-healing powers that killed my good looks."

"Dude, don't teach me that. Anyways, we were looking at that Coachman...man, but we lost him and fell down this tree and then your arm was like that." Rock just said, more motivated than ever. "Anyways, you wanna catch an old man?"

"Heck yeah, I can't wait to be plot relevant!" Deadpool bragged.

"Nice, I guess." Squirrel Girl answered.


The four of them may have been looking for an old man, well, Crimson was there and she was excited to hunt down an old man, which would be way easier than literally anything else.

And then they ran into Tanjiro...seven hours later, when the sun was starting to go down and there was definitely a challenge on the way.

"Serious question? Why are you guys with me, I'm on the team with the frozen animal." Tanjiro asked.

"Do you want to hunt down a supervillain, man?"

"I don't know what I'm smelling." Tanjiro was very confused.

"Good enough for us. This team is terrible, like, in a high school mean girl way." Crimson answered, as Tanjiro just shrugged his hardest. "But, like, you don't have to be with us."

Six people were still hunting down an old man, one of them on the other team, one being the third Deadpool, one not being Deadpool and still very comedic and one of them genuinely excited to take down a senior citizen.

*Tanjiro's confessional*

The demon slayer was confused.

"I'm pretty sure that we had no reason to search for six hours, but my friends are strategizing, there's a bunch of people that are really mean and the rest of them are..." Tanjiro was considering his options. "...actually, what is with these guys?"

*Squirrel Girl's confessional*

The brown-haired superhero was on top of the toilet.

"I could switch teams, but I've got a lot of friends on this team and Tanjiro's canonically bad at lying...apparently, Deadpool's a reliable source...'cause he's a homie."

*Confessional cut*

Tanjiro just stopped them for a second, as the good majority of the group realised that they had wasted a lot of time doing nothing and he was definitely one of them.

"I think we're lost in finding an old man!" Rock shouted.

"Yeah, he knew and, like, we get swept up in some narrative. That's fine." Crimson then just walked somewhere. "Bye."

"Cool! Anyways, you wanna just get lost?" Rock asked Clover. "Because that's kinda what we've been doing for a whole buncha hours!"

"Not really! I really look like I've been lost for days." Clover complained, her looks quite a bit worse for wear. "Besides, I'm pretty sure that we missed whatever Chef cooked up for lunch."

"Oh, sick." Rock stated. "Wait, where did everybody go?"

'

Where did everybody go during this normal sunset? Where did Chris McLean go?

Inside the mess hall, where something was rumbling with the 52 players that were reading something very important that was both oddly onimous and bizarrely relaxing to almost everyone.

Besides two people that were trying to get out of the cabin, one guy that probably could tell you the secret to his own movie, Leshawna and Sammy and unsurprisingly, the man that got "hunted" by six goofballs.

He only got the bizzarely relaxing part.

"Wait, why is there just a giant fuckin' poster with two things written on it?" Catalina asked. "Is Chris deciding to be funny."

"Probably, but it's also the key to today's challenge." Tails asked. "This is kinda like the horror movie challenge, except they already used horror movies."

Catalina and Tails deifnitely noticed one thing on the massive piece of paper.

EIGHT O'CLOCK.

And look at that now...it was eight o'clock.

"Heya dudes, I wish me and Chef could come here to warn about all of the dangers that will befall you tonight, but I'll announce the challenge from a safe location!" Chris announced. "All you have to do is survive until 6am without being caught or knocked out by some more party-crashers who stopped the original challenge that I had planned!"

There was certainly a pause to take in the effect.

"The team who wins either has the most survivors, beat down those guys or is able to escape!" Chris said. "Chef, book it, those guys will never catch-"

And just like that, the announcement got cut off completely, as a good majority of the contestants were plainly spooked by the 20th challenge in the season or even had a reaction.

"If it's real, this guy deserves to be on some list." Tiana asked. "We might die."

"Normally, I would say that you're crazy, but I swear challenge 13 was real stupid, so I ain't putting it past him!" Leshawna complained.

"Honestly, I probably would."

"REALLY?!"

"That's a genuine question from a genuine woman." JFK asked. "Leshawna, we could die and I'm still-"

"Shut up for real, please. What are we doing?" Leshawna asked. "...I know that Chris is getting lazy."

"I watched Island a buncha times and er-uh, this is very different."

*Coachman's confessional*

He was laughing.

"Honestly, as much as I want to prove my alliance wrong and establish a new alliance, I actually have better things to do like find a way to mess around with these 'killers' because...there really isn't a plan, yet." Coachman explained.

"And honestly, I really do need a plan right now."

*Confessional cut*

The few similarities aside, there was one more thing that needed to be done or two more things that were genuinely looked at by the two members of each team, who was looking out for something.

"Bruh, it's not like that challenge at all!" Deadpool stated.

"But it does share a few similarities." Sol said. "Pretty creative, if you ask me."

"Eh, so-" Lowain said, before more than a few interns hopped on a boat. "-How strong are those guys?"

"Probably very strong, Lowain!" Sokka shouted. "Intern dudes, you can beat those guys, right?!"

Kurapika just quickly beckoned the boat to speed off, as Entrapta couldn't stop smiling, Axl wasn't impressed and even Azwel put on the best freaked out face that he could.

And the interns...were off, as Lowain, Sokka, Sol and Deadpool realised that this would normally be the time to shine for the interns that would the dirty deed of putting making the contestants be dead by daylight.

"You couldn't let the opportunity slip?" Deadpool asked.

"Yeah, ignore your imagination." Sol just grabbed Deadpool.


Leshawna had experience, Clover had seen TDI too many times...like a good chunk of the players from the Fiery Foxes, as there was a giant easel, a few pages of paper and one commanding man.

For some reason, they were looking to her for advice.

"Look, I don't care what you guys do. All you have to do is not die, can't be that hard!" Leshawna shouted. "Anyone, got a strategy?"

"Aw, heck yeah! I've seen all of the horror movies! Goodbye Man, Bloodbath 4: From The Bottom, Friday Warriors, Luna of La Llorona-" Deadpool bragged. "-Point is, you don't mess around in here."

"I don't know, seems like some people don't do anything but mess around." Leshawna said.

"Oh yeah! I bet Pit, Rock and JFK are doing a whole thing together, Uraraka, Mystique Sonia, Clover and Sakura are thinking of ways to survive!" Deadpool remarked. "You know, 'cause they're gone!"

"You gonna disappear, too?"

"Way ahead of ya, lady!" Deadpool then stayed true to his word, as nine of the Fiery Foxes were gone...and the rest had much better strategies...or normally would have.

Sol didn't really step up to the plate, yet, since he had been alive way longer than Crimson, who had some kind of expertise in looking like a horror movies and knowing a lot about them.

"Do not do dumb stuff." Crimson said. "Like, go alone, go into random places without looking, listen to Deadpool, like, don't any of stuff...but that happened, so whatever."

Crimson may have been disappointed, but no-one really cared about that, as it wasn't obvious.

"But this isn't a movie, so I don't think it'll be that easy to catch us." Azula said. "Whatever a movie is."

"It is a series of pictures put together with sound to make a narrative, I assume." Basil explained, as there was a lot of thumbs up. "Figuring out a way to survive should be the first thing we do and the second thing is revealing who the so-called 'killers' are."

Azula didn't really have anything to say, as that was finally a good plan.

Coachman had better things to do apparently, as Pinstripe actually went with him.

"Incredible plan, but unfortunately, we've got more than a few unfriendly faces that I can control!" Chris remarked, as he wasn't really announcing it, but he was in a hidden place. "Heck, some of these guys may be a little familiar to some of our crazier players."

"This thing ain't self-destructing if the heat death of the universe comes." Chef asked, as the two were back in the control room with a bunch of seats.

The two hosts were ready to set loose their temporary villains.

*Azula's confessional*

"In here, we should work as a well-oiled ship that sails through the waters that actually does thing. Apparently, some people don't do that."

Azula actually did a look.

"This team will eventually lose. And they'll lose until we have half of the people here and those Capybaras still have that Water Tribe boy!"

*Confessional cut*


Speaking of those Capybaras, there wasn't even that many people in the cabins, thanks to the entirely different approach that the team were taking of there only being one third in the cabin and the rest doing whatever.

"...Yeah, we don't really need a plan to survive. All we need to do is have our teammates find a way to either hide or activate the conditions to make it stupid easy." Cassie said. "Which is going to be hard."

"It is, but it's not impossible! We've got a responsible bunch of contestants in here and uh, they're doing whatever!" Tails shouted nervously. "Let's just hold out together."

"Not a bad idea."

"It's the best that we have, really."

"We do really have faith in our friends, right? Because we didn't really tell them what to do." Samus dismissively stated. "And they're doing random stuff."

"Gonna be honest, Samus, it's weird that you don't exactly like the team." Tanjiro stated. "They're all capable of incredible things, if you let me do incredible things."

"I'm only here because the toilets farted over." Samus said. "I'm going somewhere else."

"Yeah, Chris can't kill our team spirit!" Tanjiro shouted, as Tails, Yuri, Heavy and Cassie raised a fist symbolically.

*Cassie Cage's confessional*

"I really don't believe that our team spirit's technically alive, but it does exist, which why I put hope in Tanjiro. He's strong, solid and really bad at lying, which mean he's going to make enemies eventually." Cassie stated. "Also, Chris, your scares are mediocre."

*Confessional cut*

Chris definitely heard that confessional.

"My lady, you're going to be disappointed at how bad the scares are...for you guys, because I'm going to watching this in 4K with Chef. After the break, anyways."

Chef and Chris were ready to watch a compliation of screw-ups.


WOO, no titans at all, so that means no Reiner and certainly no...Beast Titan fuckery (I'm joking about Reiner, tho), so uh, enjoy the survival challenge that will take a bit longer than anyone would expect.

As though Total Drama: Ultimate Islands wouldn't find a way to torture these guys, since these guests (that may include Reiner) are real qualified to send that torture down on the cast of 52 homies.

Chris and Chef do try and honestly, Coachman and Pinstirpe's about to have a bizzare adventure and so will JFK's crew.
