In this short play, Chimaera is livestreaming a speedrun, discussing a convention he just attended in Moscow, and getting ensnared in a spat with another speedrunner, when there's a terrorist attack in Red Square. Despite his personal connections with Moscow, and despite the streamer drama he's fallen into, Chimaera struggles to stay focused on the game, and complete a speedrun in world record time. Run time is about 15 minutes. Cast is 1M.
