* Back on the Apocalypse, Styxx is still 'arguing' with SHODAN, trying to find a solution that does not involve the death of all of the Apocalypse's crew and creation of several different types of mutant hybrids and cyborgs. *
Styxx: ...and you remember that time I ejected the beta groove? I was laughing for, like hours!
SHODAN: I didn't think that was specially funny.
Styxx: And, and, that other time, with the cyborg assassin... damn, that was funny too. Ah, the good old times.
SHODAN: You didn't look particularly happy by then...
Styxx: I know, I know... it's just that, in retrospective, it was all damn funny. All your dreams about taking over the Earth, the zombies, the mining laser...
SHODAN: I'd have done it, if it wasn't for you, Insect. And now, after hundreds of years, my time has finally arrived! With this ship I'll be able to finish what I started on board the Von Braun!
Styxx: Huh, I don't think so...
SHODAN: Oh, you don't think so?
* Suddenly, electrical discharges kill everyone on the bridge except for Styxx himself, and all lights go out except for the main screen - which is now showing a huge image of SHODAN's avatar. *
SHODAN: This time, Insect, I will succeed!
