A Visual Memory
You are left with little evidence to prove to anyone of the experience you went through after you picked up a pay phone receiver in the Rikti War Zone and ended up taking a ride through the recorded memory of Piecemeal. When you tell the story, you call it:
A Second Chance at a First Impression
Though to be honest, you're not sure why you call it that. It seems like that story title, as you tell the story over and over again to others, seems to surface from your memory of her memory, and given that the entire simulation was run by Bile, the custody chain of the phrase appears to be nebulous at best.
Regardless, it all started when you took a chance on a prank caller that said they wanted to meet you inside of an Architect story. When you loaded in, you discovered that Bile was there, encouraging you to watch what he called unaltered footage of Piecemeal's final hours. Unsure what to make of it, but dressed as Piecemeal, you engaged in playing her role as Bile tried to show you the awful truth of something that Piecemeal did.
In her arrogance, Piecemeal haphazardly tried to insert herself into the teleport network - the resulting experiment altered the light matrices of supergroup portals worldwide, and sent her careening straight out of existence. In truth, she landed somewhere that should have been impossible - the Rikti Homeworld, if only for a moment, before boomeranging back into our world and into Recluse's meeting room. Narrowly escaping his wrath, she found herself floating in Freedom Plaza of Galaxy City, beset by Shivans. She was then extracted by Dream Doctor, who said she had some larger role to play, before putting her back into Galaxy City safely to witness the horror.
Galaxy City was withering and dying, sapping her power and causing her to degrade as she explored. Normal civilians became catatonic husks of themselves, falling to dust if startled. The Shivans were running rampant, but the Arena was holding them out. Inside, you found Warriors with warding against the withering, and a potential location they were stealing them from. Mortimer Kal was there, casting aside his doubts about something before vanishing.
The only escape for Piecemeal was to hack the Arena power source, boost the fragile mediport signal, and beam herself out as binary code, leaving her body behind as a pile of dust and dooming the Arena to the Shivans.
The more you tell the story, the less believable it sounds. But you swear you saw it happen, and there's only two people who could verify any part of this story... Dream Doctor and Piecemeal herself.
