Tucayo's Office, The 'Shroom Headquarters.

"It's not even possible the warranty has already expired", I agitatedly explained to the man on the phone. "The goddamn submarine is not even five years old!"
"
I'm sorry, sir, but the warranty was voided the moment you installed the sub-machine guns on it".
"What's the purpose of a submarine if I can't install some heavy artillery on it?" I was starting to lose my patience.
"
Our submarines are not design--" A loud beep on the phone interrupted the man.
"Got a call on the other line, I'll call you later." I said, as I switched to the other line. "Yes, Jess?"
"
Urgent memo, sir", said Jessica, my secretary.
"Bring it in, please", I responded.
Jessica opened the big oak doors to my office no more than thirty seconds later. She looked beautiful today, but I could tell she was deeply confused about something.
"Is everything alright, Jess?"
"I... Uhh... This is a weird memo, that's all."
"Why is that?"
"It's from Neptune", she said as she handed it to me. I reached for the recently-printed sheet of paper and drew it towards my desk's lamp. The message was one sentence long, and it wouldn't have made sense to anyone but me, no wonder Jessica was so confused. I quickly got up and grabbed my coat and my hat, ready for the long journey that lay in front of me.
"Cancel all my appointments this week, Jess, this will be a long trip."
"B-b-but sir, what is going on?"
"You don't need to understand it right now. I'll be back soon, take care", I told her as I looked out of the window and into the horizon, where a couple of distant towers could be barely discerned against the dark night. They looked tiny, but I knew they were the most impressive towers in all the Wikiverse. And soon I would be seeing them again.
As I left my office I saw Jess take a peek at the memo again. "Don't you want to take it, sir?"
"I've got it all memorized, thanks." I got into the elevator, seeing Jess' confused face for a split second again, before the door shut closed. I certainly didn't need to take the memo with me, the message had been deeply imprinted into my mind.
