    paper Night Scene Stealer

    Nestled in the cradle of a forgotten corner of the web in the year 2002, an errant atomic sub signal causes a one in a trillion bit flip within the exact convergence point of every horrid niche fandom known to early internet users. The resulting thermonuclear forum flame war generated a never before seen type of “digital scorched earth”, annihilating all traces of the event along with all those involved.

    Decades later, an (anonymous by request) member of The NSSnss noticed a bizarre void where data should have reasonably been located, and began to investigate. Discovering that the Spanish speaking boards had inexplicably remained insulated from the destruction, this intrepid researcher was able to salvage five lumpy never before seen artifacts of the 21st century’s most mysterious software based cataclysm.

    They were then promptly eaten by a parrot. What are the odds?

    In their memory, The NSSnss forced its personnel to sift through the notes left behind and hand back “anything that could potentially pay for all related expenses”. A team was soon assembled: Mecatronic Master JOSÉ ÁNGEL, Laser Overlord RICKY FABIAN, Electron Warlock RODRIGO JASSO, and Unlucky Bastard LUIS ENRIQUE. Together, they fixed what was possible and lied as much as they could about how valuable their labor actually was.

    Everyone at The NSSnss hopes you enjoy the fruits of their hard work, dedication, and honesty.
