Everything in the building was quiet. On the 31st floor, ferrets were on watch all over the lounge. Berry was taking her quick few hours of "sleep." The XS-100-SS seemed as lifeless as all the other buildings. The only sign of life was the ferrets. They jumped around, playing with each other, but always watchful. As watchful as they were, though, there were some things that they just couldn't warm Berry about, as they were to find out. One of them, an Albino named Ziggy, perked up at a strange sound, and ran over to investigate.

One of the computers somewhere in the building on the same floor suddenly turned on, along with another and another, until atleast five of them had turned on. Emitted a werid sound that only good ears would be able to pick up, it's hard to discribe it...
Then I voice called out.
"Give me the end! And I shall, give you the beginning..."
The elevator door opened halfway next, the lights inside flashed once then blinked off, something was wrong here.

The ferrets began to make nervous noises, which grew louder and louder. Berry awoke from her sleep because of the noise. "Guys....What's going o-" She stoped as she heard the voice talking. Then the power started spazing before going out. "Okay everyone. Calm down. It might just be a fuse." Not. She ran a check-up on everything. Fisrt her own systems. Life support was fine. Next came the joined systems. Memory data, hard drives, and network. Something was definately wrong.

During her check-ups, she'd find a few... Inaccessable corrupted files with random names, that shouldn't be there.
More screens lit up, and the face of a little girl appeared, looking alot like Berry's new friend... Aura, but years younger, in this image she was what... Ten?
"Wanna play a game...?" The voice asked, turning on every light in the building once, then shutting them off, making it darker everywhere.

As the corrupted files came up, Berry worked on deleting them from her system. How is all of this getting in here? There shouldn't be any outside connections left... She looked through one of her cameras to check on the ferrets, and they were all starting to huddle protectively against the column. She heard the girl's voice, and started to grow worried. Okay. Let's try deeper...
Berry was standing in a field. The grass stretched infinately across the horizon. "Alright!" She yelled out. "Come on out here so I can see you face-to-face!"

A little girl in a white silk dress appeared, long blonde hair and shiny sky-blue eyes. She had a famillar voice, Aura's voice, but slightly younger.
"Hello! I'm phase! What's your name miss?" Even through this was inside Berry, her image moved slightly like static for a moment, her tail had a small red crack were dark particles leaked out of, her hand had a crack on it too.

Berry eyed the youth suspiciously. "So, you're the culprit?" She inquired, ignoring the girl's question. "You need to leave. Now." She ignored the cracks on her image, as she figure it was just part of the virus's run. "I'll give you five seconds to do so. If you don't leave, then I'll destroy you!" A longbow appeared in Berry's hands, and a quiver full of arrows appeared at her side.

"But..." Phase sniffed, tears filling her eyes she shook her head and backed up, tripping and falling onto her back. "Mother said you were nice... She said that you were good..." Her crying and fear just made the virus worse, there was a loud screech through Berry's systems and inside the building.
Every computer in the sky scraper had turned on, displaying blue screens and white numbers, they had crashed but were still running programs, opening hundreds of new windows with data that didn't make any sense.
The girl stopped crying and the noise had died down, she was still there staring in fear at Berry, the cracks had spread from her right hand all the way up her arm, slowly moving a milimeter every second. "She said... You wouldn't hurt me... Mother Aura... said..."

Berry lowered the bow as her eyes widened. "Wait, Aura sent you?" she inquired. "Why? Does she know what's going on here?" Berry was growing nervous. She didn't recognize the virus that was in her system. Most showed up as creatures, things that she could fight. This one, however, was far too different, and it was worrying her.

Phase shook her head slowly, wiping away the tears. "She didn't send me... She told me, she said I wasn't supposed to leave because I'm sick... But... I just...' She sniffed, wiping more tears away.
"I just wanted to play..." She said slowly. "Your not gonna hurt me are you...?" More random files kept coming up, appearing out of no where. Some having pictures, or just random word files, others containg odd programs or just plain useless ones.

"No, I won't hurt you, but you need to help me out." Berry replied. "I'm not completely like you. I'm not just this...'computer' that's getting infected. I'm a living person too, and this virus is putting my life at risk. If you help me get rid of it, I'll be more than happy to play. How does that sound? Deal?" She held out her hand.

((You messed up the name's at the end.))
Phase reached out with her left arm instead of her fragmented right, which seemed to be very damaged, along with the end of her tail, but it seemed to stop spreading across her for now.
"I came here with a friend... We were playing a game... Not sure what kind... But he told me we could score points for breaking things, so I helped... I'm not sure where he is now... If I'm a problem... I'm sorry..." She glanced around, and suddenly there was another screech and a glass breaking sound.
At first there was a sudden pile up of data, but then lots of the corrupted files etheir stopped working or disappeared.
In the endless feild, there was a gap in the sky, a red hole like the sky was a window, and cracks in other places like rocks at been thrown at it.
"I think he's still playing... We were in a computer room last time..."

((XP Brain broken))
"No, you're not a problem." Berry replied, taking Phase's hand. "You seem to be helping out, actually." Berry wasn't sure if this was true, as she didn't know what exactly the virus did, but she knew that everybody needed confidence boosters when they were down. "Computer room, huh?" She chuckled. "Let's take the shortcut. It should still work." A tree appeared not too far from the pair, and there was a door on it. Berry turned the knob, and opened the door.

[[Hheehheh, XD]]
Phase rushed through the door as soon as it was wide enough, but as they entered, it didn't exactly look like anything anymore. Everything as red, it seemed like they were floating in empty space. But there was an invisble floor, and weird symbols floating around. You could hear random speech programs running in the background, but with gaps in the words, and with the occosional static sound.
"Hi Phase! Is this new friend here to play?" A black shadow was standing there, a human shapped one, his eyes were white and his pupils gray, his mouth was white too. The parts of him seemed to be faintly outlined, he had cracks of several different colors all over, especially a scar shapped one going over his left eye.
He held a wrecked cord in one hand, crushing it into nothingness.

"I will, but I need to fix my system first." She noticed the cord he was holding in his hand. "You'd better hope that wasn't anything important." She told him warningly, the turned to Phase. "Please tell me that wrecking my systems is part of the game. The last thing I need is my life-support going..."
