The narrator is a former member of a group called the Spy Ninjas, who have replaced him with a new member. As part of a project called "Project Zorgo," he is trying to complete challenges to reach the top of the "Black Pyramid" and become one of the most powerful members.
His first challenge is to infiltrate the Spy Ninjas' safe house, gather items (ninja stars, a lie detector shirt, and a lie detector), and set up security cameras. He successfully completes this task, often mocking the current members of the Spy Ninjas for their ineptitude.
He then returns to the project's headquarters and presents the items he gathered. As a reward, he is given the next challenge, which involves taking an elevator to the top of a building. However, the elevator gets stuck, and he is left stranded for 72 hours.
