Late afternoon onboard the Black Flea in orbit around Ukio

Wu-chan and Red are playing VR games again when a disheveled Syvil appears in the “living room”. She's just woken up after having trouble falling asleep after watching through E3 S79 of The Walking Dead with Wu-chan.

S: Why didn't anyone wake me up? I can't believe my alarm didn't go off, and it's almost time for dinner!

WU: (takes VR visor off and looks back at Syvil) Yeah, you looked tired so I turned the alarm off.

S: (not amused) Warui!

WU: Ehh, don't worry, we have lots of time to go over the plans. You just looked really tired and the health of the crew is very important to me.

S: (frustrated, walks off) I'm taking a shower before we head down for dinner.

WU: (puts VR visor back on) K. We'll be here.

(30 minutes have passed and Shoko has joined Red and Wu-chan in playing VR games when Syvil returns)

S: WHO REPLACED MY CONDITIONER?!?

(Wu-chan, Red, and Shoko take off their visors and start wildly laughing)

RP: My god, Syvil, you've been eaten up by a pair of pom-poms!

S: ...

WU: Oh wow. Syvil, I'm sooo sorry. I must have accidentally used your conditioner on Meri and left the one Doogé had given us to use on Meri, back in your bathroom.

S: (confused) You washed Meri in my bathroom? Why didn't you wash her in yours?

WU: Well, I was about to do that, but then I realized that the only soap I had would leave her smelling like a boy, so I figured it made sense to wash her in yours because, well, you know, you smell good all the time. (makes big smile)

S: ...

WU: I swear, it'll never happen again. (looks at watch) Oh, it's time to go. Everyone ready?

SM: Come on Syvil, I'll help you tame that fur.

S: (unamused) Whatever.

(two hours later, they're back from dinner and off the planet)

WU: Hey, how about flying through Zed?

S: NO.

WU: Come on, Syvil. We won't even touch down on the surface. We'll just fly around low, looking for zombies or whatever's there.

RP: Hmm. I am kind of curious to know what's on the planet.

SM: Me too. There's almost no documentation about Zed other than the zombie classification. Come on Syvil, let's do it!

(Syvil walks away)

WU: Do you think she's mad?

RP: Aww. Maybe we shouldn't do this.

SM: I didn't think she'd get mad over this. She loves exploring. Well, most of the time.

(Syvil reappears, fully suited up for an EVA)

WU: Syvil, we're not going down to the surface.

S: Oh, I know. But like E2 S79 of The Walking Dead, something could happen to the engines and we might have to make a crash landing on Zed.

(Wu-chan, Red, and Shoko run off to suit up)
