What Contract does it Match?

Triple Contract

The match-making system for Cupid's Wishes went through Kendra's folders and found three possible matches. However it encountered a glitch, as not only did all three matches seem possible fits, there was a grand overarching contract that encompassed all three. Rather than breaking down which one could have the best possible match, the system instead decided to go with the easiest solution and pulled up the triple contract and the attached video.

It was a pretty cheesy "Video Dating" montage of all three girls shot in a 'confessional' style format. Each one listing off personal details about themselves which, if matched up to their actual profile, presented a confusing mess. However near the end of the video, the image was cut off and replaced by a late aged man in a suit sitting in a large chair in a very high tech meeting room.

"Ahem, good morning. Or evening wherever you are to whoever is watching this. My name is Gerald James Lewis, but you viewer can just call me Jerry." he said as a computer monitor shoved it's way into the screen.

"And I am the Gadget Lending And Distribution Interactive System or G.L.A.D.I.S., pleased to meet you." the screen said, in a synthetic female voice. Jerry slightly pushed the screen to the side so both entities were on screen in full view.

"Yes yes, I was going to introduce you when it was relevant G.L.A.D.I.S. Now for whoever is seeing this, the previous video was done due to a mission requiring the girls to go undercover at a dating site company. We felt the best way to make a believable cover story was to have the girls make a number of dating videos and profiles across a number of sites. Of course we verified each one to prevent hacking, identify theft and other cyber dangers." Jerry explained before pausing, "Oh yes, I suppose you don't know if you are watching this." he pushed a few buttons on his desk and three videos starting playing of Clover, Sam and Alex on adventures, in fights, and escaping danger.

"I am no concerned uncle or family member but head of the World Organization Of Human Protection or WOOHP. Our mission is to protect the world from villainous doctors, mad scientists and petty money grubbing moguls.The women in the previous videos are some of my top agents and I would hate for something to happen to them on account of an undercover info leak." Jerry stood up and moved to the side as the computer took attention.

"You see, We became aware about Cupid's Wish only after these videos were made. Misfiling paperwork prevented us from taking a harder look till it was too late to take it back, as per Cupid Wishes' user agreement." G.L.A.D.I.S explained, showing a huge list of agreements, protocols, legal jargon and a couple ritual pacts. "This worried us about how some users went missing. We counted them as missing people caught up in other operations. But a few computer trackers slipped onto a few subjects have pointed us in a different direction."

The screen shifted to show Jerry standing in front of several monitors, showing other agents in the field, research labs, or else where. He put a hand one screen and stared at his own reflection with a somber look. "All my time in protecting the world I have made little time for myself. Lost loves, past flings, and old flames. I would not want this for any of my agents and while I am not related to them, these girls are as close to my children as I will ever get. I'm old and getting older, and can't protect them forever. As such, this is one of the last things I can attempt to do." He stated as he came back and took his seat, "As such, to either stop or stall this contract or at the very least, find someone to help them, here are the terms." G.L.A.D.I.S moved forward again into the screen and showed a rather legal looking document.

  1. They must be kind and courageous, willing to protect those from danger and work with others.
  2. They must be willing to help keep the second life of each girl secret.
  3. They must be able to truly make each girl happy and not elevate any one above the other.
  4. Finally, they must be willing to help assist the girls on missions and founding of Dimensional Security Agency or DSA(Name Pending)

"Of course, we will be willing to continue assisting in distributing gadgets, intel, and support should it be required." G.L.A.D.I.S stated before being pulled out of shot by Jerry.

"Whoever or whatever is seeing this. I only hope you can make them as safe as I can and as happy as they can be. For if anything foul happens to them, I promise you, contract or no, strange warping or not, magical or tech induced promises or not; I will hunt you down and make you pay." Jerry stated, a stern tone in his voice and a glint of years of experience in his eye. "But if someone is able to meet all of these, as holder of the contract they have permission to marry."

"And I have some explaining to do whenever this comes to the surface." He muttered as the video ended and a "Best Match" Pop came up.

The program seemed to be considering if it should go forward or not.

Does the System accept this Match?
