In a large laboratory-like room, Malzeno finds himself surrounded by barrels full of a strange-looking liquid.

Malzeno: “What the-?! How the fuck did I just get here?!”

???: “Well, well, well. Another subject to make another mascot of.”

Malzeno: “I don’t know who you are, but release me right now or face the consequences!!”

???: “I don’t think you’ll be doing that anytime soon. See these containers I’ve got with me? They contain Givanium - the very element I use to create the mascots of this place. And now…you shall feel the same pain they did before I injected them with Givanium.”

The strange figure injects some Givanium into Malzeno’s arm.

Malzeno: “AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!! What the fuck?!”

???: “Things only get worse for you from here. Now then…what type of DNA to inject you with…”

Malzeno: “Wait…what are you doing?”

???: “Cobra…perfect.”

The strange figure injects some Cobra DNA into Malzeno’s arm.

Malzeno: “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!! Stop it!!!”

???: “Just wait. The transformation hasn’t begun yet.”

Malzeno: “What are you talking about-”

Malzeno violently transforms into the hideous purple cobra-like creature that is Silent Steve.

Silent Steve: “What the…?”

???: “You’ll get used to it. Silent Steve…I’ll need you to capture that foolish human so I can also turn them into a Givanium creature like you.”

Silent Steve: “…of course, master.”

Silent Steve slithers out of the room, ready to carry out his master’s orders.

???: “Now then…I think I'll have somebody else bring me someone to turn into a Givanium creature. Stinger Flynn, come forth.”
