Rain's POV (Hyperplex)
I heard an alert from one of my men.
"Doctor!"
"What is it? I'm busy, you know."
"Doctor Rain, one of our managers has been assulted!"
"Really now? I doubt it. I don't hire people who can't put up a fight."
"Please, just check the camera feed!"
"Which office?"
"Regent's office. I got this problem from the telemetry feed. When I looked at the cameras, I saw a shadow man knock him out!"
Sick of the tomfoolery, I check the telemetry and cameras.
Consider me astonished, he had no pulse, and was lying on the ground with both of his hands covering his crotch!
This was going to be trouble to clean up. I still have that conference I have to attend.
Screw it.
"Alright then, he's dead. Clean up the remains, Axiom."
"Right away, madame!"
Ah, it's good to be me.
TELEPORT, SIMPLEX
Note:
The conference scene happens as usual. Except, well, tough future guy is there and ruins everything for Rain.

"He, he disappeared! Where the hell is he?"
"Axiom, organize a search party. Now!"
Meanwhile, Alkaline wakes up in his chamber, and the events lead him to the area that he surfaced.
"Alkaline. That bastard. Nobody. Nobody fucks with my administration. I'M GOING TO DESTROY HIM!!!"

"Hey bitch, where are you?!" said the regular Alkaline
"Hey bastard, where are you?!" said the Hyperplex version of Rain
Seemingly in sync, the two attacked each other.
Right before they made contact, however...
MEMORY SHARE, DUPLEX
... They stared at each other, fists inches away from each other's faces
"Hi..."
"So, I'm not actually Scientist Supreme? This is all a lie?"
"Your real name isn't actually Emily?"
"Who the hell is Emily? I'm Bianca."
Alkaline's POV
Wait... what? Then who the hell was the Rain in the real world?
"Oh. Well, nice to meet you, Bianca."
