Techno Gamer stepped around to stand before the desk with the two Gamers. "Yes, well..." He started indicated particular pieces of the highlighted code. "This code here, that's the self-replication strand... and over here is the infection protocol."
He hissed a sigh from between his teeth, nodding as he watched the two Gamers' reaction. "That's right, we're dealing with a virus. But, I haven't had time yet to figure out what it does once it infects something."
His fingers started drumming along the desk, as he stared back into the monitor. "I want you two to go to the Mushroom Kingdom, see what you can find out about where Mario got this mushroom and where it came from. In the meantime, I'll keep on trying to decipher this..."
He looked up briefly. "And of course, you'll have to treat Mario and Luigi with extra caution. I don't know if eating the mushroom will infect them, but it seems probable." _________________

As I walk through the halls, towards the garage where they keep the company van, I suddenly remember my project. I guess It's a good thing it wasn't as powerful as I was going for...
I run back to my room, grab the prototype, then run back to the garage to leave for what promises to be an interesting mission... _________________ Apparantly, I'm like, off the vilg RESERVATION. Whatever that means.
Techno took a moment to respond, entranced by the code, before he looked up at the lady Gamer. "Hmm? Ah, yes." He turned the monitor around to face her. "I'll give you the cliff's notes version. This code sample was taken from a Power Mushroom the Mario brothers sent in."
"The highlighted code, quite simply, isn't supposed to be there. I've identified it as a virus, but so far, not much else. We don't know how the infection spreads; we don't know how it affects the infected entity." He turned the monitor back to face himself, and peered back at the code. "I'll keep on analysing it for the time being, until I get to the bottom of things."
"In the meantime, I've sent a couple of Gamers to go investigate where the Mushroom was found, to see if we can figure out how it got there."

The field Gamers' destination, a relatively small village in the Mushroom Kingdom, seemed to be unaffected by the new DR 'emergency'. But then, this one was a quiet, almost backwater village; most of the time, it stayed unaffected even when Bowser went out to attack the rest of the Kingdom, by sheer virtue on unimportance. Mario and Luigi had only been present that morning because they were visiting friends.
Everything seemed to be as normal - as much as a village composed of mushroom-shaped huts and populated by anthropomorphic mushrooms can be normal to anyone but a Gamer. The most alarming thing happening at this point was the arrival of the Gamers; a few of the mushroom people had come to the village entrance to spectate, and Luigi was waiting at the gate to greet them. _________________
"Oh, so the meeting's over? Aww, stupid final boss fight and its distractions..." Silver didnt leave with this news, however. Instead she moved close to Techno and stared at the screen blankly. Her comprehension of the coded mess on the screen being limited or none, she just nodded with a simple "Yep. Viral infection. Totally. Hmm..." She backed up a bit and crossed her arms, "Don't you have, like, some digital lab rats or anything you can just feed this to and see what happens?"
I'm on my guard, and not unprepared for the possibility of Luigi being affected negativly by the virus.
"(insert appropriate salutation here) Luigi. Where's Mario?" _________________ The following statement is true : the previous statment was false.
'Oh, for the love of green mushrooms!' Luigi thought to himself, though he kept that goofy smile on his face. 'What am I, chopped liver?' He cleared his throat. "Oh-a, he's right this way! Just-a follow me!"
Though the mushroom people gave the Gamers a couple of odd looks along the way - what kind of strange people are these, whose heads are smaller than their torsos? - they were not disturbed along the way to a mushroom-shaped hut at the other end of the village.
Inside the hut, Mario Mario was being kept in bed. Apparently, against his will. "Mama mia, I told you! I feel-a fine! Now, you need-a to let me out there to meet those-a Gamers before Luigi - oh, hello Luigi!" He flashed a guilty grin at his green-clad brother before noticing what this particular cat had dragged in. "Oh-a! And hello to you! You must-a be here from the Corps, right?" He sat up a little, though the mushroom person standing at the bedhead did his (its?) best to restrain him. "I'm-a sorry, I don't think we've met. It's been a while since I met a new Gamer."
Mario nodded. "I guess-a that you're-a here about the mushrooms, right?" He sunk back down, and thought for a bit. "We found-a them this morning. It just-a rained last night, so we didn't-a think anything was strange about there being a few new mushrooms about-a, and they were right in the shade of our usual favourite-a tree."
He wrinkled his nose. "But, ah, something wasn't really right about them. They tasted-a... tangy, I guess. Yes-a, tangy." He nodded. "Now, if you'll-a just follow me, I can show you where--" Just as he started sitting up, the mushroom person at his bedhead pulled him back down. "--we... found-a..." He sighed. "Oh, never mind-a. Luigi, could you show them?"
Luigi didn't say much until they got to their destination, a lone, old tree in the middle of a field. "Right-a there." He pointed to a stop not very far. One last mushroom was still sitting in the same spot. "So, just-a do what you do." _________________
