Roger hit the floor hard. The jolting impact with the carpeted wood probably shook a few rooms nearby his own but he was pretty sure everyone was out today anyway. He spins around on his back only to get pinned by his doppleganger holding a knife in his left hand. The Evil Roger plunges it horribly close to his neck only for Roger to catch it in time. The tip of the blade was uncomfortably close to his adams apple.

Evil Roger smiles menacingly and begins speaking in a gravely tone much different from normal Roger.  "Once I dispose of you, i will have no issue integrating myself into your life and hiding among-st your friends. And then, I'll kill them too and replace them. And again, and agaiiin."

Normal Roger increases his grip on Evil Rogers wrist and begins twisting the knife while trying to work his left hand free. Sweat ran down both their faces as it became a battle of strength.

Rogers left hand slips free of his grip and locks around the hand with the knife. He pushes into a twist forcing the knife out of Evil Roger's hand and effectively spraining it.

Evil Roger howls in pain and rolls off of Roger allowing him to scramble for the knife. They both stand up and face eachother, Evil Roger being positioned in front of the inter-dimensional rift he came out of.

Evil Roger: "This isn't over."

Roger laughs

"Yes it is."

Evil Roger attempts to throw himself back into the rift but Roger was faster and grabs him by the shirt collar, plunging the knife deep into Evil Roger's throat.

Evil Roger try's to scream but blood filled his throat and mouth. The last thing he felt was Roger jamming a grenade into his front pocket and a heavy boot kicking him backwards into the hellish portal from whence he came.

The Rift worked quickly, consuming Evil Roger and pulling him back to wherever he came from. A faint "garrarrgglglgble" could be heard as he disappeared into the unstable nothingness of the hole ripped in space and time, punctuating with a mostly muted "boom." The explosion must have completely destabilized the connection of the rift to the world as it collapsed in on itself with a sharp hissing noise and a puff of air throwing paperwork on Roger's desk everywhere.

Roger slumps down to the floor and holds his head in his hands. His entire body was shaking and his clothing soaked with sweat, nearly dying really takes it out of a person.

"That was close. They don't play me enough for this stuff." he muttered to himself. But he was relieved that there would be no more chance of invasion by an army of dopplegangers anytime soon now.


Roger hears a sharp knock on his dorm room door from where he was sitting. He gets up and walks to it, turning the doorknob and cracking the door cautiously.


Tippy watches Roger crack the door open as he peeks out seeing who was knocking.

"Uh, hey." she says, noticing through the crack of the door that there was paper all over the floor.

"Yeah. Hi." Roger says wondering why she was at his dorm door.

"I'm not the one speculating that she's a spy," Jaakko replies.
: And I'm just saying... maybe you should. Nothing wrong with a healthy dose of skepticism, especially when concerning somebody with a recording device in their head.

Walter knocks on the doorframe

"Would it trouble you if I could speak with you for moment or are you busy?"
: It'd be no trouble at all.

"...programming, then?" she finally says. She glances around for the nurse.
: I assume so.

"Just checking up on you uh, you haven't been around in a few days and you are a part of the team so i was worried as your Captain and such." Tippy says, trying to get a better look in the room.

"Guess you can't really get around that stuff easily." She seems to think for a moment before piping up with a question. "How's it feel being sentient when all of the others like you aren't?"

"...a recording device? You mean her..."
I'm forgeted.

"Right. I'm fine thanks. Just haven't been feeling too well the past few days. Feeling better now of course. Been doing some exercising here in my room."

Roger slips out of the door and closes it behind him.

"Ok cool. Good to hear. Listen uh, do you wanna go grab a bite to eat at the mess? I was on my way there and i figured you might be interested since you haven't been out in a while."

Tippy says, shrugging a little.

"I don't see why Xiaomei is deserving of 'skepticism' which is bordering on unjust speculation and rumors. She has been alongside us through plenty of sorties. I trust her, even if she comes off as cold or unlikable," Jaakko responds.

The dogs return to Virvel.

Walter enters in the room

"I overheard your offer for piloting pointers from someone else. Frisk's offer was also tempting, but I feel like the pilot is what really makes the aircraft."


"Oh yeah sure. I'm game. Let's go." Roger says, eager to get away from his room.

"Are you uh, gonna clean that blood up first." Tippy says doing a circling motion with her hand pointed at her face.

"OH, stuff right. I'm REALLY sorry about that. I was-"

Tippy waves her hand.

"No no its ok. I get nosebleeds while exercising intensely too. It happens to a lot of us. here."

Tippy hands him a pack of cleaning wipes.
