Epilogue

“HELLO, HOLA, NI HAO, KONNICHIWA, AND ZDOROVATSYA, HASN’T THE UNIVERSE BEEN A LITTLE TOO QUIET LATELY?

“WE ARE ONCE AGAIN LIVE FROM SISYPHUS FOUR, YOUR NUMBER ONE SOURCE FOR PROGBOOM, BOOMSTEP, BOOMCORE, AND MORE, ALL THE SOUND TO POUND YOUR SKULL OUT OF ROUND!

“FOR ANY BOOM FAITHFUL OUT THERE WHO MISSED THE NEWS BUT PROBABLY GUESSED, WE’VE BEEN OFF THE WAVES SINCE LAST MONTH THANKS TO A CONCERNED LISTENER WHO DECIDED TO MAKE SOME NOISE OF THEIR OWN BY VAPORIZING OUR HYPERCAST TRANSMITTER ARRAY!

“WHOEVER YOU ARE, CONCERNED LISTENER, AND WHEREVER YOU WENT, WE HERE AT DOOM AND BOOM STUDIOS SALUTE YOU! YOU MIGHT FLY SOFTLY, BUT YOU CARRY ONE WICKED PAYLOAD—WE ACTUALLY HEARD YOU OVER THE BOOM DOWN HERE IN THE STUDIO BUNKER, AND AS THE BOOM FAITHFUL MIGHT KNOW, THAT’S A FIRST!

“BETTER YET, CONCERNED LISTENER, WE’RE GOING TO OPEN THE HOUR WITH A BRAND-NEW BOOM TRACK WE COULDN’T HAVE MADE WITHOUT YOU! BECAUSE AS THE BOOM FAITHFUL MIGHT ALSO KNOW, WE ALWAYS PACK OUR HYPERCAST INSTALLATIONS WITH ADAMS A440 DIAMONDSHELL PICKUPS FOR JUST SUCH AN OCCASION! TOOK US A WHILE TO FIND THEM THIS TIME, BUT WHEN WE DID—WELL, LET’S JUST SAY BOOM THIS SWEET DON’T HAPPEN EVERY DAY!

“BEFORE I FORGET, A BIG BOOMING SHOUT TO OUR SPONSOR, ADAMS PRECISION INSTRUMENTS, FOR PUTTING US BACK ON THE WAVES WITH YET ANOTHER ARRAY! WE DON’T KNOW WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU, BUT WE HOPE IT GETS WORSE!

“BUT ENOUGH TALK! GET BRACED FOR THE NEXT ROUND OF BOOM, BECAUSE HERE COMES GRAY SHIP NUKE PARADE—AND REMEMBER—

“IF YOU THINK YOU CAN HANDLE IT, YOUR SYSTEM AIN’T BIG ENOUGH!”
