Nat Freidar sat bolt upright in bed as a loudspeaker blared out.

All agents to report to the nearest Sueification station for reeducation. Despatch is currently readying a list of the most flagrant goodfic that needs to be flamed. All agents to report to the nearest Sueification station.

"What the gwaedlyd uffern is going on?" she grumbled, but stopped short on getting out of bed as she noticed that the room was the wrong colour. "Um, am I seein' things, or is the room..."

"Black? Yeah." Cassie turned round from the cupboard where the weapons were kept. "I thought it was some April Fool's Day joke when I went to look it up, but now it looks like there's an actual invasion or something."

"Didn't we 'ave enough o' that last year?" the lanky girl complained, sitting on the edge of her bed for a moment before what Cassie had said sank in. "What?" She jumped up and grabbed her own weapons. "Come on then!"

"Is that really such a good idea?" said the third occupant of the room, who up till then had been silent. Kelvin shifted nervously as both women glared at him. "Um, we don't know what's going on, is all..."

"Then we need to go and find out," Cassie replied. "Come on, grab your stuff." She glanced over to the minis' bed, but neither of them were in the RC. Ah, well. Guess they can take care of themselves better than we could.

A random pair of EPC Agents got the surprise of their lives - and deaths - a minute later when three PPCers burst out of the room next to them.

"That wasn't so bad," Nat said as she wiped off her sword. "More Sues. They should be easy enough ta deal with."

"Wait a moment." Kelvin was examining one of the bodies. "This looks like our flashpatch, except for the sword."

"No kidding..." Cassie looked around at the now-unfamiliar black corridors. "I really don't like this. Let's try and find someone else. Maybe they'll know what's going on."

There was total agreement from the other two, and the trio set off warily down the corridor, keeping a close lookout for more trouble.

Of course, rounding the next corner to come face to face with a large group of Sueish-looking people would probably have counted as more trouble.

"RUN!"

"Now what?" Kelvin asked as they tried to outrun the gang.

"We run an' find 'elp!"
