The only thing that grates on Techno worse than when people notice how obviously he resembles Forte, is when it dawns on them he resembles both Forte and Mega. He isn't really sure how to feel about the person responsible being dead, as now he'll never get to have that nice loud 'what the hell were you thinking' talk he'd sometimes fantasized about.

But for now the Twins skirt around that topic and onto one of pets, as they follow Zero towards X's room.

"I still think we should get a puppy."

"We live in a treehouse, Middy. Canines can't climb."

"I call dibs on the first," Forte says as he grabs the first one and digs around for a system to play it on. He's gotten slightly excitable over the games, especially the odd content of these.

"I want to see how deep this rabbit hole goes. And it looks like the forth has escort missions so screw that."

System in hand, he scoots to a corner of the room out of a habit to avoid people bothering him while he plays. It's not long before he's through the intro and on to the first mission. That's when things get familiar.

"Got some good news and some bad..."

Zero had just reached a boss selection screen when Forte says that, so waits to pick a level and asks, "What's the bad news?"

"That thing we just did with the crusher and Harpuia's bird. Doing that now, and it's only the first mission. So if things line up, that's four games worth of stuff before Weil's defeated."

Zero just swears at that, "If Weil's timing is like Wily's," meaning roughly a 'game' per year, "I don't know if X will survive that long. What's the good news?"
