The Vipers have granted CNN an exclusive interview with Impavid/Tumblemonster, recently imprisoned after vanishing and infiltrating the Vipers. The Vipers report that tumble/Impavid has gone slightly mad, as evidenced by the manic and sometimes completely nonsensical responses to some of the questions. However, CNN believes there is intention in his madness, although what that could be, we have no idea. Some very interesting details did come out however. The interview is presented completely unedited.

CNN: Tumblemonster... Or Impavid? What shall I call you?

TM: It hardly matters does it?

CNN: Doesn't it?

TM: I'm being held by a non-governmental organization in a private prison. I don't have a name...

CNN: But you are a criminal...

TM: ...And they took my pelt.

CNN: Ah, right... How are the Vipers treating you?

TM: They took my pelt.

CNN: Yes... uhm...

TM: This is all Lebermac's fault

CNN: Err...

TM: Jerk.

CNN: Yes, well... So... How were you caught?

TM: You morons broke the story a week early, that's how!

CNN: Right, sorry about that...

TM: I'm going to kick lebermac in the groin as soon as I get out

CNN: ehm... When will you be released?

TM: Soon as Tram sorts out the security protocols

CNN: Sorry, what?!

<several supervising Vipers rush out of the room at this point, whispering to each other heatedly>

TM: Nothing, never mind

CNN: Tell us how you came to infiltrate the Vipers

TM: I figured it's the last place they'd look for me, and maybe I could get some tasty meals at the same time

CNN: By "tasty meals" you mean valuable intelligence...

TM: No, food. The Vipers have one hell of a mess hall.

CNN: Ah, but you were a spy...

TM: After a fashion... No one knew where I was, and I never actually got to transmit my data. Fortunately I have a secret undetectable implant to hold everything.

CNN: A secret implant?

TM: In my right buttock

CNN: ...

TM: ...

CNN: None of your own guild knew where you were?

TM: I told mysty after I was in, and Borb and a couple other blak members as well, but none of them until I had secured my position

CNN: So what did they think when they found out?

TM: Have to ask them.

CNN: You must have gotten some impression? Did they feel betrayed that you had presumably switched sides? Angry that you kept them out of the loop?

TM: Nope...

CNN: Nope?

TM: Nope.

CNN: Erm, care to elaborate?

TM: Nope.

CNN: So initially you were there to hide in plain sight?

TM: Yes

CNN: You are a well known pirate, Top 10 Most Dangerous Pirates in the Galaxy 2 years running... The Vipers know you very very well. How did you pull this off without getting caught?

TM: Yes, the Vipers know me very well. Heck, my mentor into the Vipers was Strat, a pilot tumblemonster trained! How could they not figure me out? I'm terribly good looking and smart though, so probably that was it

CNN: Your good looks got you through their legendary screening process?

TM: Charmed them all, clearly

CNN: Right.

TM: Right.

CNN: Miharu claims you have ruined the Vipers. How do you respond to that?

TM: Manharu is just upset that he liked Impavid. He likes all the other me's too, including the 2 in his guild

CNN: You have infiltrated other guilds?!

TM: Well sure, can't go about blasting my pirate friends all the time, can I? Wouldn't be sporting

<The Vipers signal me to wrap it up>

CNN: One last question: Have we seen the last of tumblemonster?

TM: Yes, absolutely not, completely. I've had a good run and it's not over yet, end of the line, 3 strikes base hit, don't let the window hit you in the door on the way out.

CNN: what?

rofl rofl rofl.

As we say on XOXO:

180, Tumble.
