"So, how do you use this thing?" asked Ducky, after recovering from the double loss.
"From what I can tell, you hold it here, and it tells you which way to go.. odd, I can't read this language." said Batty Buddy, after pressing the big red button that everyone had known would be there.
"You've got it upside-down." said Dethman, scathingly, causing Batty to cough and turn it around.
"Right! According to this machine, Burger went.. thataway!" And the party trooped off thataway, still upset, except for Batty, who had no idea what had happened.
Soon, the Burger scope turned itself off. This was probably because they had reached Burger, and it had an automatic source of query toggle status built in modifier thing, or something with the same effect but a shorter name.
"Burger, why is the ground shaking and electricity flying around?" asked Fquist, to the one who indeed was seated in front of them.
"Oh!" Burger spun around, and faced them. "That's just because your registry is being updated, and it's taking a little while. I presume you have been patched, then?"
"Yes," said Bart, flexing the muscles he wished he had. "There was a flash, and now we feel different."
"Good!" said Burger, then continued. "And the list servers are up again, so you're fine now."
"But the wall is still there!" said Rocky, pointing. The wall with the error message still stood there, reaching as far as they could see, with no way around it.
Burger laughed. "You just need the list server patch!"
"Another patch?" everyone groaned, but Burger assured this one wasn't so much work, and pointed to a transparent case attached to a nearby wall. "In case of error connecting, break glass" read a sign, with a blaster hung on a chain next to it.
"Forget that wimpy little thing!" said Tyf, drawing her own gun. "Stand back." she said, and before Burger or anyone else could stop her, fired a long and powerful blast at the glass. When it was finished, the glass was indeed broken, but the patch behind it had been destroyed.
"Oh, very well done." said BæÅüMÃ(-)Ñ, glowering. "Now how are we going to get the PIE?"
Burger, after thinking for a moment, pointed into the ranks of the 'Taverners. They moved aside from the path his finger indicated, all except Haze, who stood there, his fur on end. He had been feeling very funny ever since they had entered the land of Technical Help, and it had now reached a climax. "Haze shall help you." said Burger, wisely. "He already posesses the list server patch, and does not see the wall you speak of, but he thought it would be safer to just go along with the crowd."
"Amazing!" cried Haze, looking with wonder at Burger. "That's completely correct. But how can I give them the list server pat- oh!" Suddenly, a new light came into the rabbit's eyes, and he ran off in the direction that seemed right. Waving goodbye to Burger, the others followed, hoping Haze wasn't leading them into trouble.

Soon, they came to a hole in the ground.
"There!" said Haze, pointing into it triumphantly. "The list server patch is somewhere in there."
"It looks just like a hole, to me." said BæÅüMÃ(-)Ñ, looking in. "Are you sure this is it?"
"Of course!" said Haze. "I have been guided by the divine finger of Burger. This is my place, Haze's Hideout, and it is here we shall find the list server patch!"
They descended, noting as they did so the hole had stairs going down, and there were torches after a time. Indeed, the further down they went, the more elaborate the passage became, until when they finally emerged, it seemed a large temple hewn into the ground around them.
"Amazing," said Derby, poking at a wall. "We must be miles below sea level."
"Hot and cold running water, if you don't mind the fishies!" cried Haze, proudly. It was as if he had always known of this place, but had until now forgotten of its very existance.
"So where's the list server patch?" asked BæÅüMÃ(-)Ñ. Pillars and fishes were all very well in the right context, but they had PIE to consider!
"Right this way." said Haze, and they went down a corridor with a large sign marked "Patches". After passing another 1.23 patch (which Haze recieved some glares for not remembering) they came across a list server patch. It was a small thing, and afixed to the wall, but it vibrated like a living thing.
Fquist reached out to grab it, but Haze held him back. "Watch out! Due to some flaw in the design of this building, that patch holds the sea out! We must find some way of plugging it, first."
"How about I put my finger in the hole, effectively sacrificing myself for the sake of PIE?" said Propulsion, who had come along in the first place in hope of some way to sacrifice himself.
"Eventually, you'd rot away, and the water would get past." said Cobra, sternly. "Besides, it would mean loss of carrotan life, which is something we want to avoid."
Then there was a flash, and Derby started sweating and looking as if in pain.

"What's wrong?" asked Ducky, worridly, turning to Derby. "Do you have a fever or something?"
"No..." groaned Derby, looking strained. "I'm.. preforming.. a hole edit. Retrieve.. the patch.. the water.... won't.. get in."
They were concerned for Derby's health, but Kovu removed the patch from the wall anyway, and they walked away from the wall, moving slowly so Derby could keep up. Besides, it was a disconcerting feeling to see water straining to pour into the temple like place, but being blocked by some invisible force.
"So what comes after Technical Help, again?" asked Propulsion, pondering new methods of sacrificing himself for a greater good.
"Jazz Jackrabbit Tournaments" said Unknown, after checking on a laptop he had carried all the way from the war tavern. "Then Lori Central, across to the non Jazz related forums, and we're there."
"Not quite... halfway there.... then." said Derby, straining each word out, then tripped over a small pebble, having diverted his attention enough to speak.
"Are you ok?" Cobra began, but Derby yelled at them to run, so they did, as the water broke loose from his hole edit, and poured forth in powerful waves.
"We'll never make it out fast enough!" cried Derby, worried, panting. Already the water was visible crashing along behind them, not just a sound but a reality.
"No!" cried Haze, the light coming into his eyes again. "Throw the patch on the ground!"
Puzzled, but with nothing else to do, Kovu threw the patch down, and as they watched, it expanded, all the time remaining next to them as it ran along. Soon it had become a humongous magic carpet. Just before the water reached the fleeing 'Taverners, they all jumped onto the patch, or carpet, whichever, which somehow fit all of them, and were born out through the tunnel up to the surface at a far faster speed then they could have climbed.
As they sat there, huddled in the center so as not to fall off, the carpet - or patch - flew over the large error connecting wall, landed on the other side, and shrunk down to a small patch again. "Welcome to Jazz Jackrabbit Tournaments" read a sign next to them.
