Bright lights appear in a large stadium and disappear, leaving you standing in the massive open area. A slight breeze of wind blows through the stadium. Hundreds of other players begin to appear as well and chat amongst themselves in confusion.

A pinging noise rings in the players' ears. As they look to the sky, a red, blinking, hexagonal-shaped icon displaying "Warning" on it flashes in the sky. A split second later, another appears next to it and soon they pepper the skies, blocking out the orange glow of the afternoon sun.

*I simply look up and tilt my head at the strange sky*

Through the cracks of the hexagonal warning icons, an oozing red liquid squishes its way through and begins to combine into a large ball overhead. The players watch in pure silence as it drips through.

Hands emerge from the sides of the oozing ball. It transforms into a giant hooded man; casting his shadow over the entire stadium. He holds out his arms as if trying to hug someone.
Akihiko Kiyaba: "Welcome players...to Sword Art Online! I, am Akihiko Kiyaba, lead programmer! I have called you all here for a special announcement!" *A master screen appears in front of him. Other screens displaying real world events pop up and slowly swirl around him* "I have called you all to address the situation that the menu does not have the "Log Out" function."

*Quickly swipes down and scrolls through the menu to see the "Log Out" slot empty*
Segra: "No Log Out function? What?"

Akihiko Kiyaba: "This is not a defect as a result of the release. I repeat, this is no defect. The purpose behind this is to envelope you into a new world. As you all might know by now, news coverages behind this have already started. The instructions that I had given to the adults to not remove the Nerve Gear helmet were ignored, and, as a result, 2000 people have died." *Many gasp and begin to chatter indistinctly*. "I must warn you of some important things. If your character is defeated in the game, it will automatically be deleted from the SAO servers, and the Nerve Gear will electrically destroy your brain. Any outside attempt to remove the helmet will have the same effect. Additionally, I have included a special item into all of your inventories. Have fun playing, and, welcome to Sword Art Online, players."
*Fades away into a red mist and goes into the red barrier. It disappears and the orange glow of the sun flows into the stadium again. Silence falls on the players until a maniacal laughter ruptures through the crowd*

*Laughs hysterically, then smiles devilishly* Segra: "Perfect. Just what I've always expected to happen one day. This is what I've always wanted. I needed a good challenge. This is gonna be fun!"
