“The body is an instrument, the mind its function, the witness and reward of its operation.”
-George Santayana
The scene begins in what looks to be the top of a very tall building in a bustling city. The view shakes as the camera is being handled by someone, and as the camera finally becomes still held up by a tripod, we see that the operator is Skyler Striker, dressed in his usual black and maroon clothes. Skyler moves back from the camera and faces it directly, sitting on a limestone block wall that surrounds the garden at the top of the building.
SS: This is a message addressed to Danny Vice. Danny, I know you’re out there and that somehow, some way, you will receive this message. I know that you and I have been doing similar things this week – discovering who we are and preparing not our bodies, but our minds for this match. I speak this next sentence to you not as a superior, but as your equal – I know that you haven’t re-invented yourself, as I did so foolishly not that long ago, but you have bettered yourself, and I am extremely pleased with the progress you have made from the man who entered the WCF half a year ago.
SS: I can say, now more than ever, that I respect you as a competitor, the only one who has ever pushed me beyond all limits. I look forward to fighting you this week for the WCF Hardcore Title, because whichever of us exits that Cell with the title is going to have earned it by defeating the other. Danny Vice – good luck.
Skyler moves to switch off the camera and everything goes black.
