'I come from the Net…'
05-16-2010, 10:12 PM
I know a spoken voiceover probably isn't enough to qualify a piece of music as a "song". But if it were, what, if anything, would the ReBoot theme do?
Spoken bits (seasons 1 and 2), said by Bob:
Quote:I come from the Net,
Through Systems, peoples, and cities,
To this place: Mainframe.
My Format: Guardian.
To Mend and Defend.
To defend my newfound friends,
Their hopes, and dreams.
To defend them from
Their enemies.
…
They say the User live outside the Net, and inputs Games for pleasure. No one knows for sure, but I intend to find out.
ReBoot!
My best guess would be to create a KeyTool simulacrum, since uncorrupted Guardians are the only beings in all the Net who can wield them. This would be obscenely powerful; KeyTools are hugely versatile, having modes that function as energy weapon, zip line, helicopter (though dangling by your forearm isn't exactly comfy), slice-and-dice discus, gestalt-entity separator, and awesome electric guitar, among others.

Sorry, that's not even close enough to a song to consider.

Yeah, I kind of thought so. Still, didn't hurt to ask, did it?

No, not at all. And sorry if I sounded so brusque...

You know, that could actually work… contain the target within a particular area (or render a computer or network firewall uncrackable).
Anyways, the real reason I started this thread was because, in writing this on far too little sleep, I briefly mixed up the names of our favourite Loon and his author ("I know Doug's already declared 'Call to Arms' to be a power song…"). It was as I was going "No, no, Bob the Hero is from the Net, not Warriors' World" that this idea struck.
Though this is even less like a song than ReBoot's standard voiced-over opening, I feel compelled to link to a tidbit from the Elder Days when Megabyte actually had senses of humor and fun. I wonder if Enzo still has that guitar…

Not bad. Pity I never watched ReBoot... well, more than a few fragments of episodes, that is.

Quote:"No, no, Bob the Hero is from the Net, not Warriors' World"
I come from the Tapestry,
Through Timelines, peoples, and worlds,
To this place: Mainframe...
(And before anyone asks.... no.)
