Somewhere in a desert...

Girl and Penguin are eating breakfast.

Penguin: "Morning, slept well?"

Girl: "mhmhmhm"

Penguin: "What's today?"

Girl checks her school schedule. It's Monday, morning class - history.

Girl: "History.

Penguin, unenthusiased: "Sounds exciting."

Classroom. Fish begins the lesson.

Fish: "I wanted to call this class mythology, but Purple said history suggests that some of it might actually be true. Nobody remembers how long ago, but as you know, the world ended. While the inheritors of the ravaged land learned to adapt to their predicament, three brothers, successors of those who brought about the end, set out into the destroyed world to ruin it some more."

LAST REMAINING MATACORPBUNKER B_73; three brothers

"Well, gentlemen, we ate all the women, children and uly. The water purifier is busted and the only person who could fix it was Parkinson."

"We ate her last week."

"We ate her last week."

"Nothing to eat, nothing to drink. So now what?"

"I think it's time to do what our great great great grandparents spoke of - Go outside and restart civilization."

"Ugh..."

Penguin and Fish are dressed as the MATA brothers.

Penguin: "I have the best ideas."

Fish: "You're going to have to help us play the third brother."

Girl, ecstatic: "School trip!"

analognowhere presents: techno-mage in:

Girl, Fish and Penguin stand outside their cave home.

Fish: "... they gathered a bunch of thumbdrives with ancient CORPO tech and went on a journey to find people and machines they could poison."

Penguin: "It's a good day to fuck shit up. Come on, bros!"

Girl: "He's really into it!"

The three brothers cross the ancient desolate land.

"This suuuuuuuuuuuucks."

"Shut up."
