The Final Challenge

[airlockedmods]

[Welcome back, Champions. You've found everything that there is to find (for good or for ill), and now there's just one door left: The sealed, electronic door at the top of the room you woke up in.

It's time to gather your evidence, screw your courage to the sticking place, and carve your own place in the stars.]

[She sounds delighted.]

Correct.

How many seasons has the Program been active?

[kingshaming]

2

[He seems so sure of this...]

[airlockedmods]

Correct.

What is the name of the spinoff series that aired between season 1 and 2?

[kingshaming]

[He glances at the Doctor- he was the one watching vids after all]

[stitch_in_time]

The- what did they call them, webisodes? They were marketing those as bonus content, not a spinoff...

[kingshaming]

Hmm... then what could it be...

[ratherdoweddings]

Spinoff series? What, they have more!?

[imnotfat]

...is that why they kept the deceased around?

[Togami looks positively disgusted]

[cyan_maid]

...Hey...wait, didn't the computer mention something...

[Oh no oh no]

[ratherdoweddings]

Our friends...

[cyan_maid]

No, no - something else! Not our friends...but it was something-Locked...I-I didn't look too closely at it...

[ratherdoweddings]

Something-locked? What do you think it was?

[kingshaming]

Can you go check? Or do you remember, Togami?

[theoverseers]

Spinoff series?

[oh boy]

[airlockedmods]

[She's sorry she loves you but she's also going to enjoy watching them throw you under the bus here]

[kingshaming]

[if he looked turned off by the ship name question, this one has him looking ill.]

..."Lovelocked".

[airlockedmods]

Correct.

Congratulations, Prince Xander, you have shown your superiority and proven yourself to be the Ultimate Champion. One last question.

What do you wish for a reward?

[kingshaming]

[Sorry guys, he might have decent common sense but he is still a man of emotion: so he doesn't convene with the others on this]

I want all the previous Champions from the past two rounds restored and returned to me.

[They can figure out how to *escape* after]

[airlockedmods]

[CECE is quiet for a long moment, but somehow not the expectant silence that she had when she was waiting for an answer.

And then the electronic door beeps and slides open.]

[curdle]

[ jesus take ye wheel ]

[kingshaming]

If there is anything you all wish to take or see, now is the last chance. I... fear we may never return to this place.

[he will wait, then once everyone is gathered and ready step through the door]

[cyan_maid]

[...Did she accept? Or...is this rabbit hole deeper than just a clown painting?]

[ratherdoweddings]

I hope this works...

[refusedtoleave]

I think they've already been moved, you saw the letter.

[stitch_in_time]

Oh, that's a loaded question if I've ever heard one.
