Eleven hours ago, aboard the Starship S.S. Pussy Nigga.
Vynce (?): "Commander Vynce (?) reporting in to HQ, ship is running smoothly and all systems are normal."
AlphaCommando: 'Excellent news. Status report on the crew members.'
Vynce (?): "DukeC, Skizzz, DarkGeneral, Blindknagg and Exodus. are all fantastic crew members. Thank you for recommending them."
AlphaCommando: '…there seem to be a few omissions from your list there, Commander.'
Vynce (?): "…alright. To be honest, I haven’t seen infrequent lurker, jasonC and Pertho in a while.
AlphaCommando: 'Do their vitality sensors still indicate them as alive?'
Vynce (?): "Let me check… yep. Still alive. Probably."
AlphaCommando: 'Good enough for me. And the others?'
Vynce (?): "GodotsRevenge, Sumazndude and AKI are sitting quietly, not contributing much. orochizoolander and 3rdSTRikeLOVE were annoying for the first couple of weeks, but we’ve learnt to tune them out. They’re just yelling at each other now… if you don’t mind me asking, why did you send them on this expedition with us?"
AlphaCommando: 'Because it means that they’re not here with me.'
Vynce (?): "Ah. Good call. So anyway, Missing Person still isn’t talking to anyone after the incident we had here, and Augustus is trying to convince him to talk to him because he’s awesome. He won’t provide any other reasoning or evidence to back this statement up, but…"
AlphaCommando: 'Hold up. Incident?'
Vynce (?): "Yeah. Synonym, Aidebit and ForgeDigger attempted to mutiny the starship. Missing Person tried to warn us beforehand, but they locked him in a closet when he told us."
AlphaCommando: 'Is everyone alright?'
Vynce (?): "Oh yeah. Once we started listening to each other and working together, we managed to overpower them."
Pimp Willy: "This would never have happened under my control. Why wasn’t I elected as the Commander?"
AlphaCommando: 'BECAUSE VYNCE (?) KNOWS HOW TO PAY ATTENTION AND NOT GET DISTRACTED BY THINGYS AND MEN.'
Vynce (?): B)
AlphaCommando: 'So the mutineers have been subdued?'
Vynce (?): "It’s fine now. We’ve got everything under control and those three are now being held in the same high security area as our prisoner."
AlphaCommando: 'You need to alert me when these things happen. I don’t want anything going wrong.'
Vynce (?): "Sorry. It all happened so quickly and I forgot the protocol. It won’t happen again."
AlphaCommando: 'All this commotion on-board hasn’t distracted you from your primary mission, I hope?'
Vynce (?): "Of course not, sir. XthAtGAm3RGuYX is to be delivered to the Vartax Detention Center for his heinous crimes of hacking into the telecommunications system and contacting terrorists, as well as his crime of insulting the galaxy’s senses with his heinous name."
AlphaCommando: 'Excellent. Well then, I believe that’s everybody accounted for. Have a safe tri-'
RadicalFuzz: “hAi aLpHa!” 
AlphaCommando: 'OOPS, LOOKS LIKE MY COMMUNICATIONS ARE BREAKING UP. GOOD LUCK, VYNCE (?).'

RadicalFuzz: “aLpHa gOnE.” D:
Vynce (?): "It’s alright, little buddy. He’ll be back to talk to you later. Now go back to bed."
RadicalFuzz: “hUrR dUrR wUt dO dEsE bUtToNs dO?”
Vynce (?): "DON’T TOUCH THOSE!"
Ship: DESTINATION CHANGED. RECALCULATING ROUTE.
Vynce (?): "Shit! AlphaCommando, come in!"
AlphaCommando: 'Status.'
Vynce (?): "RadicalFuzz rerouted us through the Shadow Sector."
RadicalFuzz:
AlphaCommando: 'Okay, here’s what you do. Step 1: Kick RadicalFuzz in the nuts.'
ka-tonk
RadicalFuzz: D:
AlphaCommando: 'Awesome. Step 2: Just get one of the engineers to fix it. pietastic, WTF-AKUMA-HAX, kaz, Manx, The Co-Jones; any of them should be able to fix it with ease.'
Vynce (?): "We had to use them as cannon fodder, sir."
AlphaCommando: 'Cool.'
Vynce (?): "I know right?"
AlphaCommando: 'In that case, you’re going to have to ride it out. Be on your guard in the Shadow Sector. Heroes have been known to go missing in that area.'
Ship: ALERT. NEARBY HOSTILE STARWINDER BETA SHIPS DETECTED.
Vynce (?): "FUCK, WHAT DO WE DO?"
AlphaCommando: 'Okay, stay calm. Lower the ship’s weapons to indicate that you mean them no harm. This way, they won’t kill you as soon as they see you.'
Ship: INCOMING HOSTILES ARE NOW BOARDING THE STARSHIP
AlphaCommando: 'Now, the next part is very important. They are going to take you. Vynce, stay focused. This is key. You will have five, maybe ten seconds. Very important seconds. Leave the communications open. Concentrate. Shout out everything you see about them. Hair color, eye color, tall, short, scars. Anything you see. You understand?'
Vynce (?): "Oh god. Oh god. OH GOD. ARMOUR. THEY’RE ALL WEARING ARMOUR! BLACK AND RED ARMOUR WITH A STRANGE LOGO. THE LOGO APPEARS TO BE A LOMBAX WITH A RED HELMET AND YELLOW VISOR. I CAN SEE THE WORDS VOX NETWORK ON THEI…"

AlphaCommando: ‘Dreadzone.’
3 hours ago, at The Chief’s suite.
The Chief: "So, everyone drunk enough yet?"
Combo_Knight: "I could go for another drink. I’m still capable of basic speech."
The Chief: "Coming right up. While I’m getting the drinks, you guys get the Holovision set up."
Bious: "Don’t worry guys, I’ve got this."
click
Holovision: Coming up next, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.
Hecatom: "Oh sweet, I love this show."
Bious: "You think you’re a fan? I’ve got a tattoo of Rainbow Dash kissing some blue pony that Alpha doesn’t know the name of."
Cyntalan: "You’d better get this shit off the screen before The Chief comes in and kicks us all out of his suite. Give me the remote."
click
Holovision: And now, back to the Game of Mafia Champions.
Hecatom: "Wow, this show looks shit."
Bious: "Yeah holy fuck. Who would watch this when there’s so many better shows that they could be watching?"
Cyntalan: "There are certainly many other things I’d rather be spending my time on."
Combo_Knight: "Fuck the Game of Mafia Champions. I can’t believe it’s run for three seasons already."
The Chief: "I heard the producer of that show only gave the contestants a couple of days to prepare. What an asshole."
Combo_Knight: "Hell yeah booze. Gimme some of that and change the channel."
click
Cyntalan: "Oh sweet, Dreadzone looks awesome!"
Hecatom: "Much better than that Mafia Champions garbage."
Bious: "Can we still watch My Little Pony afterwards?"
Combo_Knight: "Fuck no. But I’ve never seen this Dreadzone show before."
The Chief: "Looks like we’re in luck. Seems the season premiere starts tonight. Everybody keen to stay up to watch it?"
Cyntalan: “Let’s do it.”
Present time, at the Dreadzone Station
Dallas: "Helloooooo viewers and welcome to another exciting season of Dreadzone!"
Juanita: "Tonight we bring you 22 fresh new contestants fighting for their chance the sole victors of the Dreadzone tournament and earn eternal fame and glory."
Dallas: "That’s right Jjjjjuanita. But it won’t be easy. They’ll be facing hoards of enemies on mysterious planets and even our very own Exterminators in order to earn the chance of a lifetime!"
Juanita: "Judging from the looks of them, they won’t make it past the second planet."
Dallas: "Probably not, Juanita. But we’re going to try and make it as entertaining as possible.
Vynce (?): "Uhhh, excuse me, but what is going on?"
Dallas: "Quiet kid, I’m getting to that. To survive the dangers that await them in Dreadzone, they will have a few things at their disposal."
Juanita: “For all the new viewers, here’s a rundown of how Dreadzone works and what you need to know to keep up with the show.”
Weapons
Players are able to purchase weapons from vendors conveniently located everywhere our contestants will be sent to. They will have to hurry to buy them though, as stocks are strictly limited per weapon. Players are able to upgrade and improve weapons through continuous use to gain Experience (XP) and by equipping Mods to their weapon. Once a weapon has gained enough XP, it will upgrade to a more powerful version of the weapon, adding new abilities. Players can only hold one weapon at a time. XP resets to 0 when the weapon upgrades. The starting weapons and their upgrades are as follows:
-Versa-Wrench Lite (+1 atk/+1 def) Upgrades at 10XP.

Upgrades after shields take a combined total of 50 damage.

Abilities
Each Player has a unique Ability that will assist them in surviving until the end of the game. All Abilities are kept a secret until a Player’s death, upon which their Ability will be revealed. All Players’ Abilities are also stored in the item ‘Database’. All Sponsors will know the Abilities of the Players.
Gold Bolts
Along with being able to Scavenge Weapons and Items, Players can also search the planet for Gold Bolts. Gold Bolts are used to purchase Omega Mods and Alpha Mods. Upon searching for Gold Bolts, Players will find 0-3 Gold Bolts during that turn. Players can also earn Gold Bolts by killing Exterminators.
Omega Mods
Omega Mods are used to give Players’ weapons extra abilities. These are bought with Gold Bolts and vary in cost. Weapons are limited to one Omega Mod, but Omega Mods are unlimited and can never sell out. Omega Mods can be bought at any time and do not take up the daily action. The Omega Mods, their effects and cost are as follows:
-**Acid **(+1 damage to target on the next turn) - 3 Gold Bolts
-**Shock **(+1 damage to any other Player or NPC attacking target) - 5 Gold Bolts

-**Mini-Bomb **(When fired, weapon does an additional attack to all NPC’s equal to 50% of Player’s Attack) - 15 Gold Bolts
Alpha Mods
Alpha Mods are used to increase the Attack and Defence values of the Player equipping the weapon. Each weapon can hold up to ten Alpha Mods, and Alpha Mods are unlimited and can never sell out. Alpha Mods can be bought at any time and do not take up the daily action. The Alpha Mods and their cost are as follows:

Experience (XP)
Whenever a Player kills another Player or an NPC, they will receive XP for their weapon. When a weapon earns enough XP, it will upgrade into another form, adding more power to the weapon. If two or more Players kill the same target, all Attacking players will receive the XP from the kill. Killing a Player rewards the killer with the amount specified by their armour (at the start of the game, 10XP) and the amount of XP earned from NPC’s will be specified on the planet.
Planets and Exterminators
Players will start the first phase at the Dreadzone station with no enemies. On the second phase, they will be sent to their first planet. On each planet, there will be various NPC’s that will attack a random Player at the end of the turn. Once all NPC’s are dead, the remaining Players will be sent to the next planet. If any of the NPC’s survive the round, more NPC’s will spawn on the planet. NPC’s give XP to any Player that Attacks it if it dies in the same turn. Once Players have cleared a certain amount of planets, they will have earned enough Dread Points to face off in a Tournament against an Exterminator. Exterminators are stronger NPC’s that have special Abilities that hinder the Players. Upon death, they will give all Attacking Players XP and Gold Bolts. In addition, all alive Players will be given a new title and their Armour will improve. Players start the game as a Contestant with +1 Def Armour.
Viewers
Viewers at home will be able to support their favourite Players by spending SRK BitMonopolyShekelz on various items. Viewers will be able to see which items they can purchase from the comfort of their own Sponsors Suite. Every purchase comes with a free advertisement* to all of our contestants!
*Advertisements must not give out information. For entertainment purposes only.
Private Messages
Players will be able to strategise with other Players in private messages. If you choose to start a private message with one or more Players, make sure to add @ArenaGM to the conversation, so that our cameras can follow all the action. Players may only create private messages with other Players and not Sponsors. Players cannot communicate with dead Players.
Juanita: "Well I think that covers everything."
Dallas: "Not quite, Jjjjjjuanita. We still have to reveal what’s up for grabs today!"
Juanita: "It’s not going to matter. The only difference they’re making is the taste they’ll have to the monsters that await them."
Dallas: “Well as a special welcoming bonus, we’re giving our contestants a chance to stock up on Gold Bolts early. We’ve made the ones hidden around the Dreadzone Station especially easy to find, so they’re likely to find double the amount of Gold Bolts today!”
