“I smell something fishy,” Sanjay said.

“That’s Ardra,” Mandy told him. “Don’t worry, your brain will filter it out soon enough.”

“Which does beg the question: why is it here in the virtual world in the first place?”

“Rhith-Realism™.”

“Rotten fish guts? Really?” Sanjay shook his head. “I don’t need it that real. I wonder if we’re the only ones here?”

“No, there’s Kim and Galina now,” Mandy said pointing to the cavern.

“Where’s everyone else?” Galina asked when she walked up to them.

“I was about to ask you that,” Sanjay said. “There’s Rikuto and Megan now.”

The six of them waited for ten minutes before Mandy stated the obvious. “I guess the Russian and that lizard didn’t make it.”

“You sure?” Kim asked.

“Yeah,” Mandy said. “I’ve done that run a bunch of times when I was waiting for players to show up in my instance. It’s roughly the same time frame to play it through, even with different creatures, so you can assume they were overrun.”

“Maybe give it a few more minutes?” Kim asked.

“Sure,” Sanjay said. “What can it hurt?”

“How’d you like that machine gun?” Rikuto asked Sanjay.

“I was the sniper.”

“The machine gun is my favorite weapon,” Mandy said. “Besides, Sanjay is a good shot, he saved me twice.”

“Sanjay, the hero,” Rikuto said in a deep voice.

“She’s fifteen,” Sanjay said.

“You see, nothing can stop love, Léon,” Rikuto quoted.

“Huh?”

“Léon, the cleaner. Natalie Portman falls in love with a hitman when she’s only twelve.”

“Where I come from,” Kim said, “Fifteen’s a woman.”

“It was the same in Russia.” Galina laughed. “Love’s evil, you’ll even love goat.”

“Sanjay’s no goat.” Rikuto slapped him on the back. “He’s at the perfect maturity level to fall in love with a cutie like Mandy.”

“It’s Russian proverb,” Galina said. “Not real goat. Means….well, man like Tom.”

“Hey, sister!” Kim shouted. “That’s my man you’re talking about.”

“Only joke.” Galina put her arm around Sanjay’s shoulder and kissed him on the cheek. “You’re not goat. Someday you realize how blue you are, stay away from heart broken.”

Sanjay blushed and looked away. “We need to head into Ardra and wait for the others,” he said. “No more talking about me.”

“Don’t you need to go back?” Galina asked Mandy.

“No,” she said. “I’m staying with—”

“You can’t stay with us,” Rikuto said looking to Sanjay. “Tell her. You’re in charge here, Sanjay. Tell her. She can’t join the platoon.”

“Why not?” Mandy asked.

Sanjay thought she sounded hurt, but he sensed something else, too. Understanding women wasn’t his strongest skill. It probably wasn’t included even in his top one hundred best attributes, although he did have sisters, and that helped a little bit. Mandy seemed innocent enough...maybe, she just needed some friends? Playing a boss role would probably get boring… She just wanted to help. “I don’t know,” Sanjay said.

“It can’t be within the rules,” Rikuto said. “And we don’t even know her.”

“Are you actually in a faction?” Kim asked.

“Not technically,” Mandy said. “But, I can help you. Obviously I’m not there all the time, I’m still in high school. If I’m not there, the dungeon will auto-generate a boss.
