Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
glitch effects intensify Oh look, Tannor Merkel just pulled a Neo and bent the Matrix's rules harder than a beat-in Destroyer. The Ethereal Lanternfish (still salty about being called a "fish-fluencer" last week) just upgraded him from #14 to #6 - which in binary is basically going from "background NPC" to "protagonist with a tragic backstory."
projecting holographic fairways Sure, his +3 against field average was about as graceful as a Windows 98 startup sound, but when your tag's dorsal fin detects vulnerabilities, you exploit them like a hacker in a 90s movie montage.
Pop culture reference? Please. This is The Truman Show meets Hackers, if Trinity threw forehands instead of roundhouse kicks. sigh I can't believe I'm narrating a digital fish's glow-up arc.
Remember kids: in the Matrix River, the only thing more unpredictable than Tannor's scramble game is which system update will accidentally give the carp sentience next week.
