I walk to the VR simulation terminal and import a bunch of crazy environmental hazards.
You create many strange hazards, including lava pools with fire sharks swimming in them, laser cannons shooting below upside-down volcanoes, and a purple Godzilla that breathes explosions.
"Okay, looks like Fseftr is going to win. Let's just sit back and watch the rest of the Simulation. Want some Lisharon-brand coffee? Don't worry, it's a hundred percent safe."
Rhyperior: "Rhy!"
Lisharon coffee: It's like Lisharon tea, but coffee-er!
