Interlude I
In a dark room in a small town listed on no map sits a cabal
of self-interested parties.
“Kim and Becky, report.”
“Our hired man has done his job well. He’s moved the target
to the Gladiator Pits.”
“Will that be sufficient? This Wandering Koala has proven
more … resourceful than anyone could have anticipated.”
“There’s no reason for concern. The greatest warriors and
fighters in history have all failed to escape. And his friends have no idea where
he is, so we won’t have to worry about their meddling.”
“What is the plan now?”
“Let him fight in the games for our amusement. Let him take
on the greatest warriors the world has to offer. And if he somehow manages to defeat
them, let Thylacine have his rematch.”
“And if the Wandering Koala defeats him?”
<Laughs> “I don’t see how. But either way we’ve
promised him to Amazat. I suppose the good doctor will just get to dissect a
fresh specimen.”
