Millions of miles away, far beyond the Earth and the Milky Way, voices drifted with intent around a central figure. Their forms blinked in and out like eclipsed suns. They surrounded a central orb ringed in a purple aura.
"That was a futile effort." The voice from a red rimmed orb was slightly garbled and clipped with short chirps and clicking sounds.
"It did not have the desired results." The central orb stated calmly.
"The ADC has been deluged with angry messages from viewers." The red orb shuddered.
"They do not approve of the girl being injured and are demanding that we take the proper measures to keep her safe." A golden orb chirred quickly.
"Yet… viewership and extended pay-per-viewing has risen sharply." The central orb noted.
This conversation was one of many that were occurring simultaneously. The purple orb pulsed, already bored with the flood of questions and concerns from the investors. There was a deep concern about Lexx's progress in two directions. One side wanted Lexx terminated, the other wanted him released from his contract and steps taken to ensure that no other players managed to get as far as he did. There were a few who were even suggesting that they should drop the master player game. It was too threatening to the future of the ADC.
