I think by this stage it was pretty clear what was going on, but the earliest suspectors certainly deserve a cookie for picking it before the rest of us.
That could make sense. I haven’t really considered that possibility before. I kinda considered Goldbug to be Mr. Green. All the shadowy mysterious characters seem the same after awhile.
Wait a minute… if this is a simulation, how do we know that’s really Pavane at all? If it is Goldbug (and given that she’s exposing Goldbug’s ruse, I doubt that, unless the ruse was never Goldbug’s to begin with) he, she and/or it might very easily have taken the form of Pavene in the simulation to mask his, her, or it’s actual identity
Don’t worry about it, Sweetheart. If it’s a simulation, that means she isn’t really telling you that, so there’s no reason to doubt what you’re seeing.
Wouldn’t it be great to sit and witness Armageddon?
That’s, of course, unless we’re interrupted by Pavane!
Yellowstone has blown, and the flames are quickly spreadin’ …
Do you realize that it’s all inside your brain?
Re-al-i-ty,
Vir-tu-al-ly,
Helps you to see
It’s just a simulation!
Re-al-i-ty,
Vir-tu-al-ly …
You’re all “Huh?
What? When? Where? What the heck?” and “How?”
Aha! The penny finally drops. (Or in this case, the dog biscuit?)
I must say, that penny must have been dropped from considerable altitude
So most of the fans were right. :3

Heeey. How did Pavane get there? Does she work for A-Sig?
Probably not, seeing as she’s helping Sweetheart. But then again, A-Sig is trying to get her on their payroll…
Goldbug.
I don’t think A-Sig could keep her out, even assuming they wanted to. (Maybe that’s what the venom-spitting fire iguanas are for?)
(New theory: Mr Green is a drone, *is* Pavane, *is* Goldbug.!)
That could make sense. I haven’t really considered that possibility before. I kinda considered Goldbug to be Mr. Green. All the shadowy mysterious characters seem the same after awhile.
I’ve always figured Mr. Green to be Homeschool Joe from Lil’ Mel.

And this would be a time you don’t want to be what?
Don’t want to be observant.
Oh. Observant.
Um, isn’t this a time you *want* to be observant.
The end of the world? Not something I’d care to observe… The Cthulhu Chick tract cured me of that…
But you *would* want to be observant that Pavane has just told you this is a VR program.
If she wanted to be observant, she’d have figured it out long ago, just like the rest of us.
Sweetheart “can be observant when [she wants] to be”.
But she hasn’t been at all observant here apart from the Pavane bit, so by that logic she must not want to. :p
They’ve been keeping her distracted — thus the escalating disasters. (“Look! The Winged Victory of Samothrace!^W^W^W^W You’re a bad dog!”)
Another ‘Bored of the Rings’ fan, I see.
Wait! It took *twenty-nine minutes* for my response to post?!?!
Ha ha! Goldbug. Goldbug indeed.

Pleased to meet you, Madamoiselle Pavane…shall we have this dance?
Okay, so I was partially correct. Just off by one generation.
And the light finally dawns for Sweetheart. The light of a virtual volcano reflected off a bunch of bees, but the light nonetheless.
I love the swarm names so much.
Oh! Goldbug! Gold-Bug! bees! Yellow! The hacker is Pavarone!
