In the S.A.L.T. Diner, there’s one man who has been laying relatively low. Very few have seen him outside of his nightly performances. Richard Cheese is that man. He has been investigating a mystery around the Diner. He’s seen the cronies running around, he tried to pick a fight with one of the giants the other week, and it didn’t go too well. He’s currently in the men’s bathroom in the contestant hallway, gelling his hair for the night’s show. Suddenly, he hears a conversation happening outside of the room.
So boys, our meeting with Agent Rintarou is tonight.
Sure is, Skipper. D'you think he’ll do the briefing?
Unlikely. He’s been waiting to get numbers up for a while, so most likely, he’ll be going over the recruiting plan.
Rico coughs up a flyer for the meeting.
Yep. Recruiting plan.
It’s important work on our hands. Let’s just hope it’s the work of an agent like Ruby and not ours.
Oh! The meeting is in 5 minutes. Shouldn't we be bookin' it, Skipper?
Thought you’d never ask.
The penguins then get on their bellies and slide across the hallway, leaving Cheese to process what he just heard.
This whole time, there’s been a secret club? And NO ONE has told ME about it? Y’know, after my show, I’ll go up to Okabe and show him why I’m fit for the job!
1 hour later, after Cheese’s show…
Ah, still got it. Now time to show Okabe why including Richard over here is priority numero uno.
Okabe then hears a knock at his door.
Ah! Who’s there!
Oh, no one.
… Cheese? What are you doing here? You're interrupting my... EXTREME EXPERIMENTATION hours!
Well, someone has been hearing things about you through the grapevine.
Ho ho? You think you've had me, SCIENTIST SUPREME, figured out? It's best if you leave here unharmed, before I blast you with my... MAD SCIENTIST SKILLS.
No-can-do, pal. I know all about your secret club, and I. Want. In.
Wait... what?! Who told you?! Who else knows? Does Skeletor know?
Yep. Heard it from the bathroom. Dunno. And I don't think so.
Hmm... an "I don't think so" is not sure enough, but Skeletor hasn't raised any suspicions after the show... Alright! I guess I have to let you in. I am assuming you are aware of the calamity coming for the Diner and the dangers Skeletor brings?
Calama-what now.
Oh… I guess I’ll have to catch you up.
