Earlier in the afternoon, in an apartment at Section 2.6, Lady Flux drafted a letter to Destiny Spider, the head of the Liberation Force. In it, she requested that the new adventurers be restricted from exploring new gates in the Gamers' Realm, citing concerns about their safety in relation to a planned attack by the Unds.
Twenty minutes later, she heard a knock on the door.
Lady Flux was seated at her dining table, enjoying a nice hot cup of tea. As she stood, her full skirt—which had been folded above her ankles—gracefully descended to the floor. She walked graciously toward the door, the red silk of her gown swaying with every movement. The dress featured a fitted bodice with a corset back closure and thin straps that delicately supported the garment over her pale shoulders.
The apartment door swung open under the gentle touch of Lady Flux's right hand on the grip. Standing on the other side was a mailman—an unusual visitor.
