Time was of the essence here, and this way would at least hopefully allow them to maintain the element of surprise for the longest possible extent. Indeed, the subsequent lack of opposition as they passed through the portal and rapidly made their way to room 1408 seemed to bare this out. It was only upon entering the room that they encountered their first major challenge. While their target was undeniably present, the bizarre TV entity also claimed to have been expecting them, although what preparations it had made had yet to be revealed. As the unnervingly cheerful machine babbled, an annoyed Binky requested that someone simply shoot it, a course of action the TV promptly dismissed as pointless. Instead, it suggested that they negotiate, yet the way in which it worded its request gave ample evidence of its inhumanly unhinged nature. [color=MediumSpringGreen]“Sounds nice,”[/color] Ashley conceded, once Morning Dragon Fruit had finished its lucrative offer. [color=MediumSpringGreen]“But I’m afraid I’ll have to pass,”[/color] she added in a firm voice, while firing a glowing green bolt from her techno-wand at the center of the giant screen. However, this wasn’t an attack. Rather, it was a condensed spy ray pulse, intended to reveal just what hidden defenses were in place to protect the giant machine. The Knight of Tomorrow had been charging it up as soon as the monstrous TV emerged from the wall, since, if watching Knights of the Cosmos had taught her anything of value about the real world, it was that knowledge of one’s enemy was the best weapon one could ever wield against them.
