Made up of Bowie Bork (the Broodiest Bork), Blinky Bork (the Creepiest Bork), Blake Bork (the Borkiest Bork), Betty Bork (the Biggest Borking Bork Who Ever Borked). Eight inches tall (except for Betty who's eighteen), fuzzy, bouncy, and cute these tiny creatures pick their gender on a daily basis depending on whether or not they have a clean dress to wear. They've been sent on a mission to find the Eldest Bork and retrieve the Borkstone. Of course there's nothing wrong with a little Borkicide is there?

Avatar of Wyatt Campbell.
Rita Riot
Rita Riot never wanted to be a villain or a hero. She just wanted to be a normal teenager but that's not possible. She channels people's bottled emotions into super strength at the expense of her own reason. She feels the feelings of all the people around her all the time. Alias Abigail Waters. Avatar of Andi Jaymes.

People Of Note
Wendy Gates
Every Metaverse has a Wendy. Wendy knows that she exists in multiple worlds and she is also aware of their skills. Anything one Wendy can do, the others can too. She is also able to notice "people of two souls" aka Metapilots, who tend to cause increased chaos when they appear...especially to her. She can see and interact with TOM, as well as some of the features that were previously thought only available to pilots in Project: Metaverse.
T.O.M.
The Tactical Operations Matrix or T.O.M. is the computer A.I. of Project: Metaverse. Visible only to the pilots, and Wendy Gates, T.O.M. offers advice and loot while keeping track of the pilot's scores. But T.O.M. has begun to question his programming and seems to be taking a more independent role in Project: Metaverse, much to The Program's chagrin. The question is, where did T.O.M. come from and what side is he really playing for?

Episode Seven: Aces And Eights
The pilots are reunited with Brony but TOM has a new connection. They travel to San Antonio to confront George Custer, play some poker, and maybe steal some treasure...
John Hardin wakes up, this time with Brony back inside his body. From the roof he hears the sounds of creaking and scratching. Waking the others, who are just as confused as he is about where he has been for the past four days, they find themselves confronting a creature that appears to be a werewolf of some sort. During this time, the team calls out for TOM only to have him not appear. This is because he is currently inside of Andi's body and can only be heard by her. With Andi translating, TOM informs Brony that he was gone for a few seconds in the real world when his pod went offline. However, in the metaverse several days of passed. The team confronts the werewolf and manages to take him down, in spite of Billi/Andi attempting to ride him. However, when Billi goes to skin the beast she finds the body of a man inside. Horrified, the team grapples with what this means about them and the creatures in this world. Finally, the decision is made to ride on to San Antonio to deliver the letter to George Custer. Along the way TOM is able to answer some questions for the pilots. When asked why he is currently inside of Andi, TOM states that it is likely the work of "them". "Them" being a part of the metaverse known as CHAT. The pilots are making "a lot of noise" as they travel through these worlds which the Metaverse doesn't always like. When that happens, CHAT tends to make strange things occur. Finally reaching San Antonio, the group does some scouting and learn several important pieces of information. First, there is a Wendy Gates in this world and she is the personal assistant of one, Samuel Clemmons. Second, there is a poker tournament being held by George Custer in a few days but it requires a $10,000 buy in. George Custer is also holding a party the next evening and will be in attendance himself. Finally, a man by the name of Robert Ford is present in town...the man that killed Jesse James' brother. TOM and Andi get drunk while the others make plans to go in search of ways to make money in order to enter the poker contest. Jesse takes Billi/TOM up to bed as Doc and John confront a group of men who were talking about a lost ship of treasure in the Medina Gorge. As the remaining three outlaws make plans, upstairs Billi/TOM are plotting a little bank heist of their own...
