The camera pulls back, to reveal Windir and Lyra tied into their seats.
Both show signs of a struggle. Windir occasionally strains against his
bonds, while Lyra leans back resignedly.

The Rats: (Simultaniously) Don't look at us....

Frito: Some people ain't been takin' me seriously. But dat's all gonna
change! I ain't just comic relief no more -- now *I'm* takin' over da
review team and remakin' da reviews da way I like 'em! I'm gonna mold da
fanfics in *my* image, and CONQUER DA UNIVERSE!
Moohoohoohahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Mike: Great. He's got Brand syndrome. 

Giles: For Bob's sake, keep him away from the Pattern.

Windir: <Aside to Lyra> I suppose that it was *absolutely* necessary to
retain a sample of the meglomania pills?

Lyra: <Looking slightly embarrassed, but arguing gamely> Look, it was the
first time we'd run into any of them! I mean, yeah, we could've deduced
them from the ML traffic, but we'd never even thought they were possible
until we raided that self-insertion gang...

   Heh. We on the FFML don't _need_ meglomania pills; we've got a surplus
of it already. Inside every author is a tiny little voice screaming, "I'm
the best writer in the world, and everyone knows it".
   On the other hand, self-insertion does require huge amounts of ego...

Great review, as always. :)
