Rockin' sat in the middle of a large room. He had just sent out a video of distress to his thread, the same one that sucked him into his computer and turned him into a pony. For some reason, he had the character's memories as well as his own. He didn't dwell on that, though, as he saw a white hole open in the black wall. "They're coming," he said, smiling. "I won't have to do this alone after all."

Once the newcomers arrived, he turned to them. "Welcome to the multiverse. This is Code's hub. They're not here right now, as you can see, but I know everything we need to know. The portal to the first world is almost open. I don't know where it is but, until it opens, I say we introduce ourselves."

"If you haven't seen my video, my name is Rockin' Strings. Yes, I'm a pony. I can do some magic but I'm more of a strategist than anything else. Who wants to go next?"

Anomaly watched from the shadows above as Rockin' began his little spiel. [i]You chose a good leader, Code.[/i] He didn't know how but knew Code could always find a good leader for any group, being a good leader himself. He knew because of the shadows, he was hidden from wandering eyes. He didn't know if Rockin' had seen him jump to the corner but didn't care as long as the unicorn didn't give away his position. He waited until all the new people had introduced themselves before jumping down, landing beside Rockin'.

"Portal's open," he stated. "Time to go."
