[A winky face followed by a heart suddenly flashes on Clip's screen. Then it's gone as well as the presence in his systems as if nothing had happened.]
Alright, now I know for sure something is haunting me.
Is it that other Eclipse perhaps?
....
[He called out into the room]
Are you there, perchance?
I still don't know your name..
Yet.. you.. came.
<Eclipse faded out as Sun² worked on him. They worked fast but not fast enough.>
<Everywhere Sun stepped, he wreaked carnage.>
No, it wasn't Sun anymore, was it?
Wait.. please. Where are you going?
< Eclipse grabbed at Sun's ankle as he walked off from the carnage>
To pay a visit to our friends. I must get rid of all nuisances.
No, they haven't done anything.. Sun!
<Sun turned around>
You know, Sun loved you. Tolerated you and put up with you. But you just had to go and try pull put the thorn, didn't you. Couldn't accept his .. imperfections, could you? Because everyone-- everyone needs to be perfect like you are!
Look at you, even now, before the end of the day you'll have repaired yourself. Always prepared.
But in the meantime....
<A sinister grin spread over the moveable half of Sun's face>
Suffer.
<Sun kicked Eclipse's face in one last time, to add insult to injury>
Who are you...
All a few individuals got from Eclipse's signal was just one word: RUN.
With corrupted footage of the last 10 minutes attached.
@starlightsecuritypuppet-ssp
@eclipse83
Coincidentally also intercepted by @lunargrovedaycare
And to @insults-by-sun a single: help...
Orange cats... aren't they just majestic...
Wah! Hello, friend!
It's you and .... Eclipse?
You did it??
I can ... actually.. read the words.
Yours at least. I highly doubt this extends to other askers but wonderful, wonderful!
I can turn deScramble mode off in my circuitry!
Thank you again, Eclipse. I don't understand all this kindness... the reason for it. But I appreciate it.
Thank you for all your effort too, ah.. what do I call you exactly? You're a puppet model?
Starlight Security Puppet?! That's a mouthful. Do you have a nickname...
Doesn't matter. It'll still work fine.
Now I'm gonna open this up... Pretty simple mechanics but that's to be expected... Putting this here... and...
There. It's done.
You can test it out. The connection should be more stable.
( @eclipse83)
Alright. Let me give it a try...
@lost-in-space-sun Hello? Hello? Starlight Security Puppet calling in! Am I coming through more clearly now?
it is incredible what you can do, Eclipse...

Starlight.
Whatever happened to you?
I have found it, @science-and-felines - @eclipse83
The solution to getting my ☆Sun a new body.
Unfortunately, Eclipse, he will have to be weaned off of your energy, which won't happen overnight.
Eventually, you will be able to part, however, so rest assured.
We need to discuss this post haste, Solar Eclipse.
Come to mine as soon as you're able.
Regards,
☆Eclipse "Clip"
What are you talking about?
Oh.
Oh.
I see what's happening.
You think you've been put on the spot for .. not knowing something ? I believe?
Eclipse, that's not the case.
E.
<Eclipse seemed weary with the discourse, as if remembering what he himself used to be like a long time ago. Sun laughed in the background at the deja vu moment.>
I mean. I am no scientist but given what I have l learned and experienced recently "Impossible" seems much smaller than it used to be.
You developed a means to punch holes between realities out of what mostly appeared to be boredom, Eclipse. Within weeks. So forgive me if I thought that something else completely insane like that was within your abilities.
-SSP
Heh. I'm flattered you think I could make a portal in only a few weeks. But that portals represents months of work.
Sure. Exploring a blackhole might not be entirely impossible. But it'll most certainly take a bit longer than the portal.
...
So be it.
Then let this be a declaration of war.
He will feel what I felt.
And so will you.
Eclipse, it looks like you're going through a lot. Once again.
if you need anything between Starlight and Pixel Sun let me know man!
It's scary your friends are in danger.
You're smart and capable and you'll get through this but if you need any help at all, I can try!
✊
Even after leaving the pizzaplex drama still follows me.
I doubt you could do anything to help.
I understand.. your frustration.
<Clip started softly, evenly>
But I suggest. You. Sit. Down.
<Clip's voice was dark as he cracked the edge of the panel with his grip.>
<His voice smoothed over again and he walked away, throwing a single remark over his shoulder>
Or stand, for all I care. Just don't touch anything.
Hey. This is Eclipse. I... require your assistance... regarding my code. That corrupted Sun did something to it and I would need help figuring out what it is exactly. You are the only one I know with the knowledge necessary to solve this problem.
Believe me. If I had any other choice I wouldn't have asked you for help.
( @eclipse83 )
Why, ofcourse.
Do you expect me at yours, or would you like to come to mine?
I may have better equipment to deal with your... little issue.
E., who has been waiting for you.
I'm so tired.
It worked... somehow.
But I crash-landed (again!) on a (thankfully inhabited) nearby planet.
I don't know what kind of creatures live here, so I'll have to be careful.
Stars, I don't know if they even have an appropriate power source for me to use !
But it's better than nothing, and I took the solar panels with me just in case.
Maybe I could try installing them on myself... would that work?
No word yet from the other Eclipse
I hope they haven't forgotten me..
He's mine now
