Dot Hack//Infection, Detestable Golden Messenger

Kite receives an email from someone named Helba informing him about virus cores, he is also building a friendship with other members of his party though messages that he sends back and forth talking about what they do outside of The World.
When Kite logs back in he is confronted by Balmung who wants to know more about what happen to Orca and afterwards meets Helba face to face who warns him about someone named Lios.
Kite also sees the second Golden Gob Challange posted on the boards and goes to face the first official Gob King.

Editors Note: Honestly this one is really just a filler episode, I mean what anime doesn't have a filler episode. I think its also important to show that in this game you are playing two characters, Kite, The avatar in the MMORPG "The World" and the person who controls them, outside of playing this game that character does things, they go to High School, they build friendships over messages with people they met in the game, these interactions are important to see because this is what people will do when you play a MMORPG.
Also if I kept going this would be about an hour long and I want to keep most of these short.
