A Space Doggo lands. Some people are excited. Some people are suspicious. And some people are having a crisis.

Notes: Finally. The Colonel arrives! It only took me a little over a year to finally get to him. His trios already complete and hes only just arriving here...

I swear I'll try not to let a year pass before the others get put into this chaos.

Squeak and Eve won't be in this chapter yet. I'm planning to introduce all the new brawlers in chronological order, so Squeak will only be appearing after Belle makes her appearance. And Eve will have to wait til Fang gets here.

I've decided that I will continue what I did last chapter and write the names of the brawlers alongside the first time they appear in the chat. I tried to do a crib sheet at the beginning of the chapter, but it got stupidly long and it didn't take into account any brawlers who did appear but opted to not use a nickname.

(12:10 PM)

The general chat is being ridiculous

(12:10 PM)

>>>Oh? How so Sir Byron?

>>>If you don't mind me asking.

>>>I just logged on

(12:10 PM)

I don't mind you asking.

The chat has gone into chaos arguing about which pet is better.

Cats or Dogs.

(12:11 PM)

>>>That seems quite tame

>>> Why would they be acting ridiculous?

(12:11 PM)

I may have only been a part of this for an odd month

But already my expectations for them have lowered significantly since then

(12:12 PM)

>>> ?

(12:12 PM)

The argument has devolved into a series of barking and meowing from both sides

It's ridiculous

(12:12 PM)

>>> Ah.

(12:13 PM)

These Idiots

Are They Seriously Doing This

AND BLOWING MY PHONE UP?!

(12:13 PM)

Looks like Mr. P is on his way to solve it

Good.

(12:13 PM)

>>> I think I'll read back on it later

>>> I'm a little curious

(12:13 PM)

cats are the best

(12:14 PM)

Dog barks haunt my visions

(12:14 PM)

Well hello to you two

(12:14 PM)

>>> Hi Gene! Hi Tara!

(12:15 PM)

*The dawn of amethysts bring new light*

*And the sky opens to harbor its shine*

*Foreign but Familiar. Familiar but Foreign*

*The howls and roars herald a new era*

(12:15 PM)

>>> Uh

>>> She went offline

(12:16 PM)

Well, that was interesting

(12:16 PM)

(12.16 PM)

>>> Is something wrong Mr. Gene?

(12:17 PM)

Good Morning everyone!

Good morning Jessie

(8:01 AM)

Has anyone seen mom and Nani?

I woke up and found breakfast on the table but there's no sign of them anywhere

*can I come over?* 👀

(8:02 AM)

Sure

(8:02 AM)

sweet, see ya in two Jess

(8:03 AM)

Don't do anything reckless!

But I can see why you'd be concerned Jessie. It's not like her to do that

But don't worry. Both of them are quite safe and are merely checking the spaceship that landed earlier this morning.

(8:04 AM)

SPACE SHIP?

For real?!

(8:04 AM)

(8:04 AM)

Hello Leon. Are you supposed to be awake right now?

(8:08 AM)

Aside from Nani and Pam; Shelly, Bo, Ricochet, Mr. P, Rosa, Bea, Carl, and Spike are there.

Don't worry Jessie. I'm in contact with them and will be alerted should anything occur.

Pam says 'Good Morning Sweetie.'

(8:09 AM)

Morning Mom!

(8:09 AM)

(8:09 AM)

I will keep you all up to date on the situation.

announcements

(8:15 AM)

'''Good day everyone!

I'm sure by now you're all aware of the strange unidentified object sitting in the Showdown Desert, whether you've heard of it here or seen the object yourself.

Don't panic. Several Brawlers are already investigating the object and are working to figure out its origins.

Related to this, any and all Showdown matches scheduled in the desert will either be postponed until the situation is handled or be moved to the Showdown Cemetary.

Thank you for your understanding.'''

(6:52 PM)

...

(6:52 PM)

...

(6:52 PM)

So... Aliens Exist

(6:52 PM)

I'm having a crisis-

(6:53 PM)

That was a terrible way to break the subject

(6:53 PM)

Wait what

(6:53 PM)

Well, how else exactly are we supposed to break the subject huh?!

(6:54 PM)

Calm down Carl

(6:54 PM)

>>>I AM CALM!!!

(6:54 PM)

>>> woah whys Carl screaming

(6:54 PM)

Is someone going to explain?

(6:55 PM)

There might be an announcement later

(6:55 PM)

>>>It's all a mess!

>>>We've always wondered about the possibility of life on other planets beyond ours

>>>But I never really thought it was possible due to the sheer probability of things going horribly wrong in its development

>>>But now we have it confirmed that life does exit and thrives else where

>>>If something like that could be proven wrong

>>>What else could I be wrong on?!

>>>How much of the things we claim to know do we really know?

>>>This changes so many things

>>>Possibly reality as we know it!!!

>>>Does this all matter in the grand scheme of things?

>>>How could I be so blind?!

(6:56 PM)

How the heck did he manage to type all that in a minute???

(6:56 PM)

>>>robots

(6:56 PM)

Robots.

He must have been holding that for a while. Thought he looked odd on the ship.

(6:57 PM)

Well

I don't know about you Carl

But for me, I see this as a great opportunity!

Sure the Colonel's arrival screws up a whole bunch of things

But that just means we can't leave it unscrewed

Science is always changing! Even the science in the last decade is old and outdated compared to the ones we have today!

We get to see it change and grow and that's exciting!

A-atleastthatshowIseeit ''''

(6:59 PM)

Bea is right.

This new frontier just opens new discoveries for us!

Think of all the plants, animals and rocks that's out there that's just waiting to be discovered!

Is it mind-blowing? Yes

But there's no need to beat yourself up about not expecting it.

As long as you don't hold to those beliefs even when the proof is right in front of you you're good!

(7:02 PM)

>>>I-

>>>Thanks Rosa, Bea

>>>I think I just, need some time to process all this.

(7:02 PM)

And we'll be right here waiting for you

Just send us a message!

(7:02 PM)

Rest well Carl!

(7:03 PM)

....

so are we just gonna ignore the talk about *ALIENS?!*

(4:40 PM)
