OFFICIAL UNITED NATIONS TRANSCRIPT
CLASSIFIED INFORMATION: DO NOT DISCLOSE
Rep. McArthur (U.S.): The creators of the game RuneSpace wish to remain anonymous, but they have a representative has consented to speaking with us over videophone. Please, sir, can you tell us anything about what happened and how.
John Doe: We keep detailed records of what happens in the game in order to detect rule-breakers, so we believe we have found the source of these events. Last Thursday at 7:42 P.M. Eastern time, there was a clash between two groups of artificial intelligences on the edge of the asteroid belt within the game. A group of Black Knights in space ships encountered a family of green dragons. During this battle was an unusually large explosion involving several rockets and a spaceship. After this point, there are contradictions in the record. Several A.I.*s seem to have disappeared from the area without dying or teleporting.
Rep. Thompson (G.B.): What does this mean for Earth?
John Doe: There is good news and bad news. The good is that this wormhole, as it is being called, occurred in the game’s outer space, meaning most of the game’s monsters are unable to reach it of their own accord. The bad news is that when two groups of artificial intelligences clash, they typically declare war on each other. Because this war is unresolved so far, more Black Knights and dragons are heading for the wormhole at all times. Because RuneSpace has become a solid universe, we are unsure if any of these problems can be rectified through programming.

Tyler sighed and leaned back in his seat. He and the rest of his company were currently in a large troop transport jet over the Mediterranean Sea. Just minutes after the encounter with the dragon they had been taken over to the nearest airbase and loaded up to go who knows where. He was beginning to get tired of all the secrecy.
“What do you mean all the runways are too hot?” their commander suddenly yelled from the corner of the plane, where he was having a heated conversation with a strategist.
“I mean the chances of this plane landing safely in a warzone are unacceptable,” the man replied.
“Fine,” said the commander before turning to the company. “I hope you boys remember how to jump.”
“Where are we?” someone asked.
“Istanbul, now grab a parachute and shut up.”
Tyler and the others strapped on parachutes and stood in line as a hatch on the side of the plane opened with a roar. It was early morning in this part of the world and the cold wind whipped their faces.
“Go!”
The stream of paratroopers exited the hatch quickly. When it was Tyler’s turn he closed his eyes, held his breath, and jumped. He was tumbling in a dark, loud, cold abyss for what seemed like an eternity. He was soon able to judge his altitude and pulled the strap on his back releasing his parachute. The roaring stopped as his descent was reduced to a comfortable glide. There were other parachutes floating around him, but his eyes were drawn to the burning city and sounds of battle below. He gulped and checked to make sure all his weapons were in place.
There was a rush of wind beside him and he heard the sickening sound of his parachute tearing as a large object flew past. With half of his parachute useless, he began to spin out of control towards the trees below.
“Dragons! The dragons are here!” he heard as he blacked out from the crazy spiral.
