8:00am, Dec 31, 1999
Downstairs JLo is singing her siren song, "Waiting for Tonight".
You take her hand and she leads you into a green room.
You look into her eyes, but her gaze burns and sears your retinas, bursting your blood vessels into a pink spray. She hands you a pair of night vision contact lenses. Then she tears you apart from the inside.

A camera pans over the crowd.
Through your contact lenses you see T-800s rush into the crowd from 42nd St - Times Square.
A terminator is wearing the flesh of Rudy Giuliani.

You ascend with JLo to her Babylonian Temple.
At the top you are met by Sergey Brin.
In his hand is a thin metal rod with a cord connecting it to a Compaq Pesario Desktop PC.
He plugs you in, then he tears you apart from the inside.
