An accident causes a magnet to drain Dot of energy and, according to Phong, the only way to save her is to feed her slow food from Al's on level 31. While in Al's, the sprites are caught in a medival fantasy game where Bob and the user are attempting to reach Dot, the damsel in distress. Or are they?

Dot manages to convince the binomes of one of Megabyte's sectors to entrust her with their PIDs, so she can register them with the Principal Office. But first she has to get them safely back to Mainframe, which proves harder than anticipated when the virals attack the meeting place. And if that wasn't enough, she keeps getting mysterious flashes of a reality where Megabyte has taken control of the system.
