A young man stands in his room. It just so happens that today is the day that young man will play a video game he’s anticipated the arrival of for a long time. You do not yet know his name, or if he even has one.

It appears the heroes are all located on a planet locally known as Earth. Though I have not seen for myself first hand, it is highly likely that this is the location they are in. I have their current whereabouts within a seven squared kilometer radius.

I could certainly use your help in finding them. There is a lot of ground to cover and it is more than likely that these heroes will not be all in one place. What do you say?

> "No thanks."

> "Sure."

Before they begin their quest, however, I should probably introduce myself. 

My name is Temperance. I am one of nine who attempted to complete the quest in the first place. We, unfortunately, were not successful. I do not wish to dwell on this at the moment.

I have spent a great deal of time - time I really didn't have - searching for these heroes and I believe I have located them, finally.

Somewhere lost in the galaxies, there are heroes. Nine of them, in fact. It's not quite certain where we will find them, but one thing is certain... These heroes will certainly have their work cut out for them.

It is my mission to find them, as they have a quest which my friends and I could not complete, ourselves. Their victory will ensure our own - Which is why it is important we find them immediately.
