One morning, [[Jenny Over-There (925th Universe)|Jenny Over-There]] reports to the [[M.F.S. office]] for what she expected to be a routine day at the office, only to find her desk and the [[Red Interdimensional Telephone]] gone, and [[The Man in Grey (925th Universe)|the Man in Grey]] waiting for her. He explains that normal operations of the [[Multidimensional Finders Service]] are suspended for the day so that Jenny can help him interview new candidates interested in joining the Service. As they settle in the interview room, the first candidate shows himself in the person of [[Dynamite Thor (Fox universe)|Dynamite Thor]], but the Man in Grey rejects him on the basis that he was formerly [[copyright]]ed and he only wants candidates who are, in this [[Fourth Wall Awareness|metafictional]] sense, “open-source”. | One morning, [[Jenny Over-There (925th Universe)|Jenny Over-There]] reports to the [[M.F.S. office]] for what she expected to be a routine day at the office, only to find her desk and the [[Red Interdimensional Telephone]] gone, and [[The Man in Grey (925th Universe)|the Man in Grey]] waiting for her.

The first serious candidate is a man made of metal called [[Metal O'Maniac]], who casually confesses to having set his previous place of work on fire due to them not paying him enough, making both nervous. He is followed by the pair of best friends [[Talbot Molossus]] and [[the Hydrant]]; despite Talbot's urbane and professional demeanour, Jenny and the Man in Grey find it exceedingly difficult to take them seriously due to their looking respectively like a humanoid dog and a humanoid fire hydrant. An hour and a half in, a man who looks suspiciously like a version of [[Batman]] walks in, and ends up biting the Man in Grey on the shoulder when he accuses him of being Bruce Wayne rather than his actual identity of [[Wayne Bruce]]. | The first serious candidate is a man made of metal called [[Metal O'Maniac]], who casually confesses to having set his previous place of work on fire due to them not paying him enough, making both nervous.
