Ava scrolled through pictures and application summaries for the Ultimate Four competition candidates. Her initial research had highlighted a few good storylines but nothing that struck her as long-term ratings boosters.

None of it had turned up any promising leads for the Homeland Security investigation, either. She’d eagerly volunteered for the chance at a promotion despite this being outside her normal wheelhouse, but finding dirt and storylines was different than tracking down terrorists.

Ava skimmed the latest file, that of a boring Bronze explorer with no flare and a sleep-inducing personal history. She was in hell. The man had made a nauseating statement about proposing to his girlfriend if he won the competition.

“This is going to give me diabetes,” she muttered.

She nibbled her lower lip. Gary hadn’t given her much to go on. Homeland Security and the WDEA would not ignore a terrorist who was trying to enter a competition. A major incident involving a dungeon would rile the Voltaxians.

There was only one explanation: a rogue alien explorer was pretending to be a human. All she needed to do was pick them out of the crowd. He’d either play ball with CE, or the Voltaxians would boot his ass off the planet.

Ava snickered. The poor alien bastard would regret coming to Earth. Superior technology was nothing against her ambition.

She groaned as she scanned yet another Arthur application. She’d been excited by the prospect of a brilliant King Arthur success story early in her career, but only a handful of Arthurs had amounted to anything. These days, stronger dungeons and rising explorer standards led to the same result: a promising Arthur scraped into a bottom-ranked dungeon who then embarrassed himself when matched with explorers who had followed the training and apprenticeship paths.

The WDEA sold the lie that anyone could be a hero with the help of the entertainment companies. They downplayed the millions of dollars for training and connections, including alien connections, that the current generation of dungeon explorers required to succeed.

Ava’s gaze was arrested by the picture on the screen, and she stopped scrolling and burst out laughing. This application had to be a prank.

A smiling cowboy, complete with a cowboy hat, stared at her from the screen. The square-jawed man was handsome enough that he could have graced the cover of a Western romance novel. He was one of the few applicants who hadn’t sent a picture of himself in armor, although he was holding an infused spear, judging by its color.

“You’ve got to be kidding me. Cowboy, you do not understand what you’re getting yourself into.”

She skimmed the file and let out a disappointed sigh. Another unlicensed Arthur with no listed dive experience and only personal training. No letters of recommendation from an explorer academy or any parties.

That meant that Mr. Handsome Cowboy, aka Luther Miller, had no infusions. He wouldn’t last through the first day of the competition. There was no exciting storyline to follow other than a plucky idiot humiliating himself. That was the harsh truth.

Ava started to scroll past but hesitated.
