## Episode Transcript and Timing

Hi, it's Shari.

0:00:04 0:00:05
So, it turns out a lot of people have had Nuspace invites -

0:00:05 0:00:09
-me, Chloe...

-Me.

0:00:09 0:00:12
..Syd. Wait, what?!

0:00:12 0:00:14
-Your year has it?

-Zane sent me an invite -

0:00:14 0:00:17
he's been sending them to everyone.

0:00:17 0:00:19
-Use your brain, just ask Zane.

-DING

0:00:19 0:00:21
Zane?!

0:00:21 0:00:23
But he can't be the Dixi killer.

0:00:23 0:00:25
I mean, objectively, he just doesn't look like the murder-y type,

0:00:25 0:00:29
not that looks have got anything to do with it.

0:00:29 0:00:32
Of course, I'll check it out before I eliminate him from my enquiries.

0:00:32 0:00:37
Hi, Shari.

0:00:38 0:00:39
Isla, are you seeing Zane later?

0:00:41 0:00:44
I need you to go undercover.

0:00:44 0:00:46
There's a small, tiny chance that Zane could be the hacker.

0:00:46 0:00:50
Zane wouldn't hack anyone.

0:00:50 0:00:52
I don't think he would either, but I just have to be sure.

0:00:52 0:00:55
Syd said Zane's behind all the Nuspace invites.

0:00:55 0:00:58
Why can't you just ask him yourself?

0:00:58 0:01:00
-Are you shy because you like him?

-No!

0:01:00 0:01:04
Even if I did - but I don't - I couldn't just go up to him

0:01:04 0:01:07
and be like, "Oh, hey, Zane, are you going to prom with anyone?

0:01:07 0:01:10
"Oh, and, by the way,

0:01:10 0:01:12
"I don't suppose you ruined my Dixi page, did you?"

0:01:12 0:01:14
-Why not?

-Because I don't want him to think I suspect him.

0:01:14 0:01:18
Isla, please.

0:01:18 0:01:19
Just ask him. And if he didn't, then at least we'll know for sure.

0:01:19 0:01:23
-I'll do anything.

-Anything?

0:01:23 0:01:25
-Anything.

-Will you be a backing dancer in the video I'm working on?

0:01:25 0:01:29
I made this costume especially,

0:01:29 0:01:31
but I can't find anyone to wear it.

0:01:31 0:01:33
I can't imagine why(!)

0:01:33 0:01:35
Go on. If you do it, I'll do your undercover thing.

0:01:35 0:01:39
OK, no problem.

0:01:39 0:01:41
-Oh, thank you, thank you.

-OK.

0:01:41 0:01:42
After we've shot it, I'll put it on Dixi so everyone can see your moves.

0:01:42 0:01:46
Yay!

0:01:50 0:01:51
Hey, it's Shari and this is

0:01:51 0:01:53
Waiting For Zane To Meet Isla For Band Practice.

0:01:53 0:01:56
What is she wearing?

0:01:57 0:01:59
No! Don't come over here!

0:01:59 0:02:01
What are you doing under there? I thought I was the one undercover.

0:02:01 0:02:04
-So did I.

-We are all undercover.

0:02:04 0:02:07
Me and Eve are here to film.

0:02:07 0:02:09
Hey, get your phone out too. Go, go, go. Go.

0:02:09 0:02:11
How do you always manage to drag me into your ridiculous dramas?

0:02:11 0:02:14
I can't believe I'm actually hiding inside a drum kit.

0:02:14 0:02:18
Do I need to hide inside a drum kit?

0:02:18 0:02:20
No. No, just talk to Zane and pretend that we're not here.

0:02:20 0:02:23
Hey, Zane, did you hear about all this hacking that's been going on?

0:02:25 0:02:28
It's weird, isn't it?

0:02:28 0:02:30
Hey, Zane, did you hear about all this hacking that's been going on?

0:02:30 0:02:33
It's weird, isn't it?

0:02:33 0:02:34
This better not all be because you just want to stare at Zane.

0:02:34 0:02:37
No, now shush.

0:02:37 0:02:39
-Hey, Zane.

-Oh, hi, Isla. Can we start with Make Up Some Moves?

0:02:39 0:02:42
I think that would be a good opener for the prom set.

0:02:42 0:02:45
-Yes. But Dixi. I need to talk to you about Dixi first.

-Oh, yeah.

0:02:45 0:02:49
Did you hear about all this hacking? It's weird, isn't it?

0:02:49 0:02:51
Who do you think did it?

0:02:51 0:02:53
Zane, are you undercover too?

0:02:53 0:02:55
Funny thing is, right before it happened, I was getting these

0:02:55 0:02:58
messages from someone asking if I knew how to hack into Dixi.

0:02:58 0:03:01
-Who were they from?

-No idea. Here, look, I'll show you.

0:03:01 0:03:04
I'm locked out. My account's been hacked.

0:03:06 0:03:10
SHARI GASPS PIANO CHORDS

0:03:10 0:03:12
What are you two doing? Why are you filming?

0:03:12 0:03:15
Oh, hi, Zane.

0:03:15 0:03:17
It's nothing. I just thought for a minute, well, a second really,

0:03:17 0:03:20
that you might have done the hacking.

0:03:20 0:03:23
You thought it was me?

0:03:23 0:03:24
-Why?

-Well, Syd said you were inviting everyone to Nuspace.

0:03:25 0:03:29
Syd thought I did it too?

0:03:29 0:03:31
Good mate(!) I was inviting people to Nuspace

0:03:31 0:03:34
because you get a free laptop if you get ten people to join.

0:03:34 0:03:37
Oh.

0:03:37 0:03:38
That's a pretty good reason.

0:03:38 0:03:40
And you knew about this too, didn't you?

0:03:40 0:03:42
Zane, I can honestly say I don't know anything.

0:03:42 0:03:45
-I bet you set this up for your vlog thing.

-What?! No!

0:03:45 0:03:49
I bet you even hacked yourself to put yourself in the drama.

0:03:49 0:03:51
Of course I didn't. I'm not Mimi.

0:03:51 0:03:55
I'm on to you, Shari. This ends here.

0:03:55 0:03:57
And I can't believe you set me up.

0:03:57 0:03:59
I'm out of the band.

0:03:59 0:04:01
You call that doing it right?

0:04:10 0:04:12
Total disaster.

0:04:12 0:04:14
Erm, I don't know what you're on

0:04:14 0:04:15
about, FireOpalBigGuava.

0:04:15 0:04:17
Why does everyone

0:04:17 0:04:18
keep saying I fancy Zane?

0:04:18 0:04:19
Thanks, EmeraldIcicleRat.

0:04:21 0:04:23
This is the worst day ever.

0:04:23 0:04:24
Hey, it's Shari. Welcome to the loneliest bus ride in the world.

0:04:29 0:04:34
Eve's not here.

0:04:34 0:04:35
She texted saying she's not in today, which means I'm all alone.

0:04:35 0:04:39
It's seriously harsh here.

0:04:39 0:04:41
Even Isla's blanking me.

0:04:41 0:04:44
She blames me for Zane leaving her band.

0:04:44 0:04:47
Zane's not talking to me.

0:04:47 0:04:49
He thinks I set him up for one of my videos.

0:04:49 0:04:51
How could he seriously think I'd do that?

0:04:51 0:04:53
I only suspected him of being the killer for, like, ten seconds.

0:04:53 0:04:57
Anyway, Chloe found out what happened at yesterday's undercover disaster

0:04:57 0:05:01
and told everyone that I hacked those Dixi pages just for vlog drama.

0:05:01 0:05:05
It's gone round the whole school, so... Well, let's just say,

0:05:05 0:05:08
if I was singing The Wheels On The Bus,

0:05:08 0:05:10
I'd have to add a verse that goes...

0:05:10 0:05:12

1. The people on the bus say... #

0:05:12 0:05:14
..Go away, Shari. No-one likes you.

0:05:14 0:05:17
It's OK.

0:05:17 0:05:18
There is a world elsewhere.

0:05:18 0:05:20
And even in my darkest hour I still have you guys,

0:05:20 0:05:24
unless you all think I did this too.

0:05:24 0:05:26
But you don't, do you?

0:05:26 0:05:28
Do you?

0:05:28 0:05:30
Aw, poor little, Shari.

0:05:30 0:05:32
-Hey, Chloe.

-All on your own? No-one to talk to, except that camera?

0:05:33 0:05:37
Aw, that's so sad(!)

0:05:37 0:05:39
Imaginary camera friends.

0:05:39 0:05:41
-Everyone needs someone. Even Mimi's got a puppy.

-Yeah.

0:05:41 0:05:45
Wait. What? No, I don't, not any more, remember?

0:05:45 0:05:48
Hey!

0:05:50 0:05:51
This is a special message for the people who watch Shari's videos...

0:05:51 0:05:55
both of you. Shari was making a big drama out of - boo-hoo -

0:05:55 0:05:59
someone making a joke on her Dixi page.

0:05:59 0:06:01
Yeah, why all the drama, Shari?

0:06:01 0:06:03
But now it turns out she started it all herself

0:06:03 0:06:05
because she's an attention-seeking beg thumb.

0:06:05 0:06:08
I didn't! If anyone did that, it was Mimi!

0:06:08 0:06:11
You're always like,

0:06:11 0:06:13
"Oh, look at me. It's all about me. Everybody, listen to me."

0:06:13 0:06:17
-Are you done?

-Sorry.

0:06:17 0:06:20
So, the best thing is probably for everyone to ignore her.

0:06:20 0:06:23
Tough love, I know. I'm only being cruel to be...

0:06:23 0:06:26
Mean?

0:06:26 0:06:27
I want to say kind, but that doesn't feel right.

0:06:27 0:06:29
I've said what I've had to say, now I have to turn my back on you.

0:06:29 0:06:33
Great(!) Well, at least this day can't get any worse.

0:06:36 0:06:39
-Shari!

-Oh, and in fact it just got better.

0:06:39 0:06:42
I can't believe this, big brother to the rescue.

0:06:42 0:06:44
This has never happened.

0:06:44 0:06:45
Hey, Syd. That is so sweet of you.

0:06:45 0:06:48
I doubt it.

0:06:48 0:06:50
-What is?

-Coming to sit with me because no-one's talking to me.

0:06:50 0:06:54
I'm not talking to you.

0:06:54 0:06:56
Yes, you are, obvs.

0:06:56 0:06:57
Only to tell you you've gone way too far.

0:06:57 0:07:00
Not you as well. Do you not have any faith in me?

0:07:00 0:07:02
Do you really think I'd hack Dixi just to make some videos?

0:07:02 0:07:06
I don't give a Shara Gucci about Dixi. No-one cares.

0:07:06 0:07:08
-Well, then, what's the problem?

-Because it's bigger than that now.

0:07:08 0:07:11
It's started to affect real people.

0:07:11 0:07:13
-I'm real.

-Shut up, Shari!

0:07:13 0:07:16
I mean it. It's not fun and games any more.

0:07:16 0:07:20
Something's happened, something serious, and it's all your fault.

0:07:20 0:07:25
I know, CrystalFestiveGuava.

0:07:31 0:07:33
As sad as dropping an ice cream right after you've put the sprinkles on.

0:07:33 0:07:37
So, what have I done now?

0:07:38 0:07:40
See? See what's happened?

0:07:40 0:07:42
-Not really.

-My chest is empty.

0:07:42 0:07:44
-And that's bad?

-Uh, yeah, it's bad.

0:07:44 0:07:47
I had five swords, two of them forged in the fires of Alroth,

0:07:47 0:07:50
three crossbows with arrows dipped in dragon's blood,

0:07:50 0:07:54
and the ruby dagger with the cobra handle.

0:07:54 0:07:56
-Do I need to go on?

-Probably not.

0:07:56 0:07:58
Oh, and let's not forget the 12 healing potions,

0:07:58 0:08:01
four resurrection scrolls,

0:08:01 0:08:03
the hour glass of infinite time and a lot of coins.

0:08:03 0:08:06
-Doubloons, trebloons...

-All right! All right! And, what, it's gone?

0:08:06 0:08:10
Yeah, it's gone, all of it.

0:08:10 0:08:12
I've been cleaned out.

0:08:12 0:08:14
Sorry, but how is this worse

0:08:14 0:08:15
than what happened to me and my Dixi account?

0:08:15 0:08:17
Dixi is just for people taking selfies and saying, "Lol."

0:08:17 0:08:20
This is combat and strategy...

0:08:20 0:08:23
And hand-to-eye coordination.

0:08:23 0:08:25
Yes, you've told me, like, a million times.

0:08:25 0:08:27
So, why don't you use some of that combat and strategy and just...

0:08:27 0:08:31
get more of all that stuff?

0:08:31 0:08:33
Oh, yeah(!) Right(!) Thanks. I should have thought of that(!)

0:08:33 0:08:37
I can't just get more. Each item was earned in a life or death mission.

0:08:37 0:08:40
People virtually die fighting for that inventory.

0:08:40 0:08:44
Oh, do you have any idea how many times

0:08:44 0:08:45
I had to level up to unlock all of that?

0:08:45 0:08:47
-Three?

-82!

0:08:47 0:08:50
Sorry, but I still don't see what any of this has got to do with me.

0:08:50 0:08:53
You dragged me into this stupid murder investigation

0:08:53 0:08:57
by posting stuff about me. You made me a target.

0:08:57 0:09:00
I did?

0:09:00 0:09:02
That's brilliant!

0:09:02 0:09:04
I mean, horrible.

0:09:04 0:09:05
But, if the killer struck again, we have a new crime scene and new clues.

0:09:05 0:09:10
Was there any sign of forced entry? Did they leave behind any evidence?

0:09:10 0:09:13
Oh, you really don't understand how any of this works, do you?

0:09:13 0:09:16
Wait, wait, wait. What's that?

0:09:16 0:09:18
It's just a list of people I play with online -

0:09:18 0:09:20
some are in my guild, some are neutrals.

0:09:20 0:09:22
And what about this one?

0:09:22 0:09:23
Lady Akhali? She's a chaotic neutral.

0:09:23 0:09:25
We teamed up once.

0:09:25 0:09:27
-I've seen her on Dixi.

-So?

0:09:27 0:09:28
She's been commenting on the Dixi murders.

0:09:28 0:09:30
I accepted her add, but I don't actually know her,

0:09:30 0:09:33
and now she's here and your game's been hacked too.

0:09:33 0:09:36
-It's more than a game.

-Oh, all right. Whatever.

0:09:36 0:09:38
Your lifestyle choice.

0:09:38 0:09:39
But what if this Lady Ak-thingy is behind all of this?

0:09:39 0:09:43
When was she last online?

0:09:43 0:09:45
Well, she's on now and it's geotagged.

0:09:45 0:09:48
She's at the live role-playing tournament at the Game Of Pones,

0:09:48 0:09:51
playing as a plasma elf.

0:09:51 0:09:53
We can catch her.

0:09:53 0:09:55
Just stay with me.

0:09:57 0:09:59
You'll be OK.

0:09:59 0:10:00
They're my people.

0:10:00 0:10:02
The live gaming terminal's over here.

0:10:02 0:10:04
Remember, we're looking for a plasma elf.

0:10:04 0:10:06
-And that would be?

-Uh, green hair, silver armour, purple skin?

0:10:06 0:10:10
SHARI GASPS There!

0:10:10 0:10:12
