We see Ernestine link up her ComPhone com at SugarShock Forum Control Centre.
[Ernestine]: One beepy-deepy...two beepy-deepies...Hello, this is Ms. Tomlin at the SugarShock Forum Control Centre. Is this the party to whom I am contacting? Mr. Mechachu? Gracious evening, Mr. Chu...This is Ms. Tomilin at the SugarShock Forum Control Centre...As I've been looking at our files, I've noticed a greviance from Mr. Ryle...he claims you owe him a bank balance for the Photon Cannon, which comes to $138 and 59 ce....what?
[Mech]: When h!@#$ freeze over!
[E]: When what freezes over? Mr. Chu, I must warn you, you're not dealing with anyone's fool. I am a high-school gradu-ate...
[Mech]: I ain't payin', so there!
[E]: Oh, Mr. Chu, I don't know why you're kicking up such a ruckuss, when by our files we see your bank balance, stock holdings and personal income amount to.....what?
[M]: Whaddya doin' with that? That's priviledged infodata!
[E]: Priviledged Infodata? (snorts, then laughs) Oh, Mr. Mechachu, that's so cute...no,no,no, you're dealing with the SSFCC...now as I see from your tax return for.....
[M]: You can't do that! You're violating state and federal laws!
[E]: Oh, Mr. Mechachu, the SSFCC is not subject to state or federal regulations. We are omnipotent..
[M]: You're what?
[E]: Omnipotent. That's potent with an omni in front of it (snorts, then laughs). Now then, Mr. Chu, if you do not play Mr. Ryle for his services, we shall be forced to send a large, burly serviceman to rip that cannon off yer back and discontinue its services.
[M]: what?
[E]: I'd advise you to lock up the liquor, he's a mean drunk! (snorts, laughs) Now, Mr. Chu, wouldn't you rather pay Mr. Ryle, than to lose your cannon and the possible use of one eye?
[M]: No, I'm tough!! I'm not gonna pay!
[E]: Oh, dear me, Mr. Chu, perhaps I can persuade you to pay Mr. Ryle after all...
[M]: I'd like to see ya try, lady!
[E]: I want you to listen to a conversation I picked up off the SugarShock Forbidden Forum. Can you hear that all right? Do you know who that is?
[M]: (gasping) Th-th-that's me!!
[E]: That's right, Mr. Chu, that's you, and do you recognise that other voice?
[M]: K-K-Kasumi?
[E]: That's right, it is her, Mr. Chu, and do you recall the contents of that conver...waitaminit,waitaminit, I wanna hear this part again...
[M](stammering) wh-wh-wh-where...
[E]: Now if you're interested, Mr. Chu, I've got 72 more hours of this, wouldn't Ms. Purity like to be informed of your....liason internetting?
[M]: That's BLACKMAIL!
[E]: Oh, Mr. Mechachu, blackmail's such an ugly world, let's just call it a vicious threat.
[M](dejected) O...kay...I'll pay the Kitsunan...
[E]: Oh, how very wonderful, Mr. Mechachu. I'll notify Mr. Ryle that he can expect your payment in the mail. And Mr. Mechachu...
[M](despairingly) what...
[E] Don't feel personally persecuted. This may be the only SSFCC, but we screw everyone here on the Net!
