"Let's do it!" The three other techs cheered.

"Well, this store did recently suffer a glitch attack during a public gaming event-" Phil quickly shut a locker that contained a rouge yellow glitch inside.

"...and I'm here to make sure it doesn't happen again." Inspector seven spoke.

"Uh, that glitch was caused by a faulty software that Corporate approved. Since then, the store's antivirus program has detected zero hazards. Am I right, BITT?" Phil asked, awaiting the robot's approval.

"That is correct. I detected no hazards because it has not been running." BITT replied simply answered.

"That why I...why?" The ginger man asked.

"Because you paused the download update to stream the season finale of Cop Family, Season 3." An automated voice began to speak in Spanish, making Phil gulp.

"Oh, Phil. You're only allowed three total infractions." Inspector Seven told him.

"So...what happens at four?" He asked in a nervous tone.

"My bosses closes the store, fire you and memory wipe your entire staff."

"Okay then, let's keep it to three." Phil blurted out.

"Great!" Barbara walked away with Phil tagging behind her.

Back inside the Training Simulation, the four teenagers are selecting their characters on Nobi Gross Out.

"Great!"

"Whoo-oo!"

"Cool!"

"Yes!"

Five was in the middle of delivering an ultimate beatdowm to his virtual opponent. "The crowd can't look!" He exasperated. "Their nauseated, regretting every life choice that led them to attend this event!"

Final Finish!

"My turn!" Miko snatched the controller out of Five's hands, ignoring his obviously annoyed look and began to select her character.

"Eeny, meeny, mighty gross, pick the one that stinks the most!"

You have selected, Garbile!

"Nice. Check out his bio. Garbile escaped space prison after being sent there by his enemy, Sanitron." Five read, right before the glowing G that Miko had presumed to be rated for "gross" appeared on the scream. It glitched and froze up the game.

"It froze up on me." Miko complained.

"You have selected Garbile!" The automated voice said, glitching.

All four teens stepped backed in caution as Five realized something. "Wait. What if that "G" we saw wasn't for "gross", what if it was for...."

The screen malfunctioned and a green glitch bursted out of the game, taking form of the character Miko had selected: Garbile.

"Glitch!" The Japanese girl screeched.

The character laughed and slid across the other side of the room to begin flexing.

"Who wants to tussle with the mess-master of muscle?"

"We are so fired."

"And on the first day." Aina commented with a blank look on her face.

"Easy, fella." Five reassured with his hands up to the mass of grossness in front of him and his friends. "Nobody wants to fight."

"What's the matter, brother? Too afraid to get your hands dirty?" Garbile teased, lunging himself at all four teens.
