V4.5-ALL

[Intro: A frantic, high-speed bass line. The sound of someone tapping a pen rapidly on a metal desk. A low, distorted hum in the background.]
[Section: Jacques - Male Vocal: Low-register, Raw Marseille-Australian Accent, Smirking]
Remember the "Dry Run," Laizer? Back in the quiet weeks?
You were yawning at the stars... complaining about the "leaks."
You said the mission was "stagnant"... a "waste of a good career."
You told the Agency the "Simulation" was a bore... from ear to ear.
Well, look at the gauge now, mate... the needle’s in the red!
The "Bore" is over... and the "Blink" is in your head!
[Short Instrumental Interlude: A chaotic burst of Trumpets]
[Section: Laizer - Female Vocal: Mid-register, Smooth Elegant Alto, Sharp]
I remember what I said, Jacques. You don't have to gloat.
I’d prefer a "Bore" over a ship... that’s trying to cut my throat.
The "Six" was a ghost-story... a quiet, paper trail...
But now the "Lead" is melting... and the dampers start to fail.
The Navigator's station is "screaming" in my face...
I missed the action... but I didn't miss this "Place."
[Short Instrumental Interlude: A fast, walking Bass solo with brushed drums]
[Section: Jacques - Male Vocal: Low-register, Heavy Accent, Chuckling]
Careful what you wish for... when the "Simulation" ends.
The "Bore" was a luxury... among our "Corporate Friends."
Now the "Dust" is in the air... and the "Glow" is on the floor...
Are you still "Bored," Laizer? Or do you want a little more?
[Short Instrumental Interlude: Tense, syncopated Piano stabs]
[Chorus: Duet - Jacques (Low) and Laizer (Mid)]
[Jacques - Low]: The clock was standing still!
[Laizer - Mid]: Until we hit the "Hill"!
[Together]: Simulation Six... was a long, slow sleep...
But the "Blink" is a promise... that we have to keep!
No more "Boredom" in the dark... no more waiting for the spark!
The "Simulation" is burning... and leaving a mark!
[Outro: Spoken over a fading, frantic Drum fill]
[Section: Laizer - Female Vocal: Mid-register, Breathless]
Jacques... the "Bore" is officially canceled.
The sensors just picked up a "Signature" inside the hull.
Something is moving in Section Zero.
[Section: Jacques - Male Vocal: Low-register, Quiet]
Finally.
Let's see if the "Package" is as "Boring" as the trip.
[Sound of: A heavy metal bolt sliding into place]
[End]
