INTERVIEWER: Please state your name and serial number for the record.

SGT. Spoiler: Spoiler

INTERVIEWER: Thank you. Please recount the events of yesterday that occurred at Spoiler.

SGT. Spoiler: I was sitting in the Spoiler device, which had not worked so far. As they were energizing the machine for some tests, one of the techs suddenly yelled that he had installed an Spoiler upside down. They tried to use the emergency shutdown, but there was a flash and I felt like I had just been shattered like glass.

INTERVIEWER: Spoiler

SGT. Spoiler: Well, my sudden appearance caused quite a stir. I was dressed in a standard K-63 loadout as part of the tests, and they thought I was part of the entertainment.

INTERVIEWER: Could you understand them?

SGT. Spoiler: No, but the handlers seemed more afraid of me than the fighters did. A lot of them looked untrained and scared, I guess there wasn't much I could do that was worse than what they were already going through.

INTERVIEWER: Spoiler

SGT. Spoiler: I went through the gate into the arena. I knew I'd only be there until they figured out how to power down the machine, and resolved to survive until then. I waved to the large overhang where a lot of well-dressed nobles were sitting, and the crowd cheered as they released a lion into the ring. I dispatched it with two rounds, and the crowd went quiet. I prepared myself for the next target when I suddenly felt as though I had melted, and re-opened my eyes, safely back in the Spoiler device.

INTERVIEWER: Very good. I think that's all we need for now. You're dismissed, report back to base camp at Spoiler.

SGT. Spoiler: What? I'm with Lt. Spoiler's platoon, we're based at Spoiler.

INTERVIEWER: Who?
