The End of the Chase

[airlockedmods]

[After several enlightening mishaps and meeting several well-intentioned aliens, the clues from the scavenger hunt have led both teams to the pool on the west side of the building. There are several other aliens milling about, staring up at the windows to try and find the green one.

The last clue has been received. It's time to regroup, find where to go next, and confront the mastermind of this... network-sponsored scavenger hunt.]

If you're being punked, it's not by us.

[airlockedmods]

Nah, it's by them, isn't it? Oh, wouldn't that be perfect, what a treat for all the fans this's already been and NOW -

[stitch_in_time]

It's pretty definitely by the studio, yeah. But, ah- we'd actually sort of prefer if we could keep a bit of a low profile, like Yurika said.

[Do they tell him. They might need to tell him.]

[airlockedmods]

Oh - is it just a special surprise for me 'n the actual contest winner?

[curdle]

Please, speak not of this. It would, um, it--

[ Tina Belcher groan ]

It should spoil the surprise!
