The story so far
Everything you need before watching
After Ralph barrels into Sugar Rush, Calhoun explains why one Cy-Bug could threaten the entire arcade. Her warning moves from plain facts to a vivid, almost apocalyptic image, while Felix tries to prove he can help. The scene also slips in a joke about her tragic backstory before the two set off. It is tense, fast, and packed with useful language for describing unstoppable problems and taking responsibility.

❝ 卡尔霍恩的灾难预言
Cy-bugs are like a virus. They don't know they're in the game. All they know is eat, kill, multiply. Without a beacon to stop them, They'll consume Sugar Rush. But do you think they'll stop there? - Yes! - Wrong! Viruses do not stop! Once those cy-bugs finish off Sugar Rush, they'll invade every other game until this arcade is nothing but a smoking husk of forgotten dreams.
