"The Life and Times of Wade L.D. - A SilvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis" is a high quality lore video and the final video of Season 3. It serves as a side story to the first several episodes of The SilvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis.
== Plot summary ==
Shortly after The Voice and President Haltmann mechanize Grandiose City, a Waddle Dee named Wade L.D. applies and is hired for the position of Administrative Secretary for the Haltmann Works Company in order to support his wife Wanda and his son Jimmy, who has fallen ill. As one of his first assignments, Wade surveys the SiIvaGunner residence. While going out for a drink with his coworkers, one coworker, named Chase, introduces him to the music of Maroon 5. He then picks up some Ripodine for Jimmy before returning home.
After gaining some of his trust, Haltmann confides in Wade that he doesn't trust The Voice, and asks Wade to keep an eye on him. This requires more overtime, preventing Wade from helping Jimmy with his science fair project. Dr. Andonuts asks Wade to get him some resources behind Haltmann's back before going on a surveyance mission to the Rapper's Union base with Charles Barkley. Wade starts taking Xanax to cope with the stress of his job.
Haltmann sends out a memo to his employees announcing that one of the Company's research teams is currently studying a garlic taco. Later, the taco is stolen by a woman in a black dress who traveled through a portal. President Haltmann offers a $1,667,820,000 reward for anyone who finds it.
After Angry Joe's attack on the North Pole, Wade receives a call from a mysterious woman who tells him that Grandiose City is locked in a state of limbo, and that she can help him escape. She tells him to wait for her to call him, then hangs up on him before he can ask who she is.
Sensing that Jimmy's sickness is severe, Wanda L.D. takes him to the hospital. Following The Voice's failure to resurrect his daughter, Haltmann asks Wade to help him get revenge by bringing him the resources needed to build Inspector Gadget. Wade's co-workers convince him to bring cocaine to the bar near the harbor they frequent. While under the influence, Wade visits a nearby server farm and causes a 12 hour intranet outage with his spear. In order to keep his job, he bribes Haltmann with $2,190,000. Haltmann is willing to forgive him, but still feels it necessary to temporarily cut his wage by 20%.
A team at the Haltmann Works Company is given authorization to research a sample of SiIvaGunner. The mysterious woman calls Wade again, and after he explains his working conditions, she asks him if Haltmann is working on any transportational technology. Wade tells her that he isn't sure, but he has been told to do strange things involving the SiIvaGunner sample, and that he has to give it to "third-parties".
Wade then proceeds to bring weed to Snoop Dogg, and is threatened by Chase to bring him a large amount of cocaine. After the SiIvaGunner sample is analyzed, research team 00008 uses the data collected to create AIRTHs (Artificially Intelligent Rip Theatricalizers), which share the same basic characteristics as SiIvaGunner but vary in their theming, and which the team has no control over. Elsewhere, Wade gets into an argument with his wife, and learns that Jimmy's illness is terminal.
The mysterious woman agrees to meet Wade at the Quality Bar in Precinct B. After Wade vents, she finally reveals a bit about herself. The cloaked damsel has traveled to Grandiose City after roaming from place to place. She calls herself a fugitive who wanted to learn about the city and discovered more than she bargained for. She eventually tells Wade that she has the garlic taco that Haltmann was looking for, and agrees to tell him more if he meets her at Warehouse F36.
After they meet back up, she informs Wade that Wood Man told her that Haltmann perpetually locked Grandiose City in the year 2016 so that he can make money indefinitely. The woman also tells him that she's been pursued by the Haltmann Works Company through several dimensions so that they could steal her dimension-hopping technology. She believes that the garlic taco is her only way out, and contacted Wade so that he could help create the diversion necessary for the two to escape together.
Police close in on the duo, and the woman throws off her cloak to reveal that she is, in fact, 2B from NieR: Automata. Chase and his friend Jeff also appear on the scene and demand coke from L.D. 2B has Wade take a bite from the taco to create a portal to the Red Dead Dimension. They jump through the portal with the policemen, Chase, and Jeff hot on their trail. After seeing Wade with 2B on the news, Wanda decides it's not worth it anymore, and tells Wade that he's dead to her over text.
With there only being one bite left of the taco, Wade decides that 2B should enter the next portal alone. After a moment of deliberation, where Wade admits that 2B is all he has left, she agrees to leave him behind so that he can fend off the police long enough for the portal to close. Wade pulls out his spears and proceeds to attack the policemen, kill Chase, and destroy the Patrol-Bot that was recording the whole scene.
Wade L.D. is reported dead. The policemen are stuck in the Red Dead Dimension. Wade's phone receives two voicemails. The first is from 2B, who thanks him for his companionship and hopes he's still alive to meet her again. The second is from Jimmy, who understands the stress his father was under, admits that Wade's police chase in Saint Denis was cool, and looks forward to spending time with him in the afterlife. Wade's job as Administrative Secretary is put back up for hire, and the credits roll.
Afterwards (probably after a time skip), it's revealed that the SiIvaGunner that has hosted the channel since 2018 was an A.I. created by the Haltmann Works Company, and that the next phase of their plan is about to begin.
