Intermission 1

Intermission 1 is one of the areas outside of Dimension VVVVVV. After rescuing their third crewmate and using the end teleporter, Captain Viridian and the crewmate end up here instead of The Ship due to interference. Here, the player must guide their fellow crewmate to the end of the area safely. The level's dialogue varies depending on who the player brings with them.

Intermission 1 with Victoria
After the two find themselves in an unknown area, Victoria immediately breaks down and voices her distress to Viridian, who tells her everything will be alright. As they both make their way through Intermission 1, Victoria continues to worry about whether or not they'll find a teleporter to get them back to the ship. This causes Viridian to worry as well. Once they reach the teleporter at the end, they're both relieved, and they teleport back to the ship.

Now Take My Lead
Victoria: Waaaa! Victoria: Captain, are you ok? Viridian: I'm ok... this... this isn't the ship... Viridian: Where are we? Victoria: Waaaa! Viridian: Something's gone wrong... We should look for a way back!

What Are You Waiting For?
Viridian: Follow me! I'll help you! Victoria: Promise you won't leave without me! Viridian: I promise! Don't worry!

Very Good
Viridian: Are you ok down there, Doctor? Victoria: I wanna go home! Victoria: Where are we? How did we even get here? Viridian: Well, Violet did say that the interference in the dimension we crashed in was causing interference with the teleporters... Viridian: I guess something went wrong...  Viridian: But if we can find another teleporter, I think we can get back to the ship! Victoria: Sniff...

Now Stay Close To Me...
Victoria: Captain! Captain! Wait for me! Victoria: Please don't leave me behind! I don't mean to be a burden! Victoria: I'm scared! Viridian: Oh... Don't worry Victoria, I'll look after you!

Do as I Say...
Victoria: We're never going to get out of here, are we? Viridian: I... I don't know... Viridian: I don't know where we are or how we're going to get out...

Mind Your Head
Victoria: We're going to be lost forever! Viridian: Ok, come on... Things aren't that bad. Viridian: I have a feeling we're nearly home! Viridian: We can't be too far from another teleporter! Victoria: I hope you're right, captain...

Class Dismissed!
Victoria: Captain! You were right! It's a teleporter! Viridian: Phew! You had me worried for a while there... I thought we were never going to find one. Victoria: What? Really? Viridian: Anyway, let's go back to the ship.

Intermission 1 with Vermilion
Viridian is at first confused, but Vermilion keeps a positive attitude and is excited to explore the new area. He and Viridian discuss what happened with the teleporter going haywire, and what they think is causing the interference that plagues Dimension VVVVVV. Eventually, they find a teleporter, and are able to make it back to the ship safely.

Now Take My Lead
Vermilion: Wow! Where are we? Viridian: This... isn't right... Something must have gone wrong with the teleporter! Vermilion: Oh well... We can work it out when we get back to the ship! Vermilion: Let's go exploring! Viridian: Ok then!

What Are You Waiting For?
Viridian: Follow me! Vermilion: Aye aye, Captain!

Very Good
Vermilion: Hey Viridian... how did the crash happen, exactly? Viridian: Oh, I don't really know - some sort of interference... Viridian: ...or something sciencey like that. It's not really my area. Vermilion: Ah! Well, do you think we'll be able to fix the ship and go home? Viridian: Of course! Everything will be ok!

Now Stay Close To Me...
Vermilion: Hi again! You doing ok? Viridian: I think so! But I really want to get back to the ship... Vermilion: We'll be ok! If we can find a teleporter somewhere we should be able to get back!

Do as I Say...
Vermilion: Are we there yet? Viridian: We're getting closer, I think... Viridian: I hope...

Mind Your Head
Viridian: I wonder where we are, anyway? Viridian: This seems different from that dimension we crashed in, somehow... Vermilion: I dunno... But we must be close to a teleporter by now...

Class Dismissed!
Viridian: We're there! Vermilion: See? I told you! Let's get back to the ship!

Intermission 1 with Verdigris
Verdigris and Viridian are both confused, but they remain calm and decide to look for another teleporter. While passing through a hallway, Verdigris asks if Violet is safe. Viridian answers yes, and explains that Violet helped them get back to the ship when they were lost in the space station. After a brief silence, Verdigris confesses that he likes Violet, but asks the Captain not to tell her about it. Later on, he asks if Viridian has any advice about Violet. Not knowing what to say, they answer with a rather cliché "be yourself!". The two eventually find a teleporter, and make it back to the ship.

Now Take My Lead
Verdigris: Huh? This isn't the ship... Verdigris: Captain! What's going on? Viridian: I... I don't know! Viridian: Where are we? Verdigris: Uh oh, this isn't good... Something must have gone wrong with the teleporter! Viridian: Ok... no need to panic! Viridian: Let's look for another teleporter!

What Are You Waiting For?
Viridian: Let's go this way! Verdigris: After you, Captain!

Very Good
Verdigris: So Violet's back on the ship? She's really ok? Viridian: She's fine! She helped me find my way back! Verdigris: Oh, phew! I was worried about her. Verdigris: Captain, I have a secret... Verdigris: I really like Violet! Viridian: Is that so? Verdigris: Please promise you won't tell her!

Now Stay Close To Me...
Verdigris: Hey again! Viridian: Hey! Viridian: Are you doing ok? Verdigris: I think so! I really hope we can find a way back to the ship...

Do as I Say...
Verdigris: So, about Violet... Viridian: Um, yeah? Verdigris: Do you have any advice? Viridian: Oh! Viridian: Hmm... Viridian: Um... you should... be yourself! Verdigris: Oh. Verdigris: Thanks Captain!

Mind Your Head
Viridian: So, do you think you'll be able to fix the ship? Verdigris: Depends on how bad it is... I think so, though! Verdigris: It's not very hard, really. The basic dimensional warping engine design is pretty simple, and if we get that working we shouldn't have any trouble getting home. Viridian: Oh! Good!

Class Dismissed!
Verdigris: Finally! A teleporter! Verdigris: I was getting worried we wouldn't find one... Viridian: Let's head back to the ship!

Intermission 1 with Vitellary
Despite the duo's immediate confusion, Vitellary is able to figure out quite quickly what went wrong with the teleporter. He suspects that something caused their teleporter transmission to be deflected, resulting in them landing somewhere new. The two begin looking for a new teleporter to get them back to the ship. As they head further into Intermission 1, Vitellary hypothesizes that the dimension they're in might have something to do with the interference that caused them to crash. When the two of them converge in “Now Stay Close To Me...”, Vitellary passes by a checkpoint, and asks Viridian about it, wondering if they can take one back to the ship to do research on. Viridian however, says that they shouldn't acknowledge it, and should just continue on ahead. Vitellary continues hypothesizing about the dimension they're in, and wonders if it was artificially created for scientific purposes. They eventually reach a teleporter, and head back to the ship with it.

Now Take My Lead
Vitellary: Oooh! This is interesting... Vitellary: Captain! Have you been here before? Viridian: What? Where are we? Vitellary: I suspect something deflected our teleporter transmission! This is somewhere new... Viridian: Oh no! Viridian: We should try to find a teleporter and get back to the ship...

What Are You Waiting For?
Viridian: Follow me! Vitellary: Right behind you, Captain!

Very Good
Viridian: What do you make of all this, Professor? Vitellary: I'm guessing this dimension has something to do with the interference that caused us to crash! Vitellary: Maybe we'll find the cause of it here? Viridian: Oh wow! Really? Vitellary: Well, it's just a guess. I'll need to get back to the ship before I can do any real tests...

Now Stay Close To Me...
Vitellary: Ohh! What was that? Viridian: What was what? Vitellary: That big... C thing! I wonder what it does? Viridian: Em... I don't really know how to answer that question... Viridian: It's probably best not to acknowledge that it's there at all. Vitellary: Maybe we should take it back to the ship to study it? Viridian: We really shouldn't think about it too much... Let's keep moving!

Do as I Say...
Vitellary: You know, there's something really odd about this dimension... Viridian: Yeah? Vitellary: We shouldn't really be able to move between dimensions with a regular teleporter... Vitellary: Maybe this isn't a proper dimension at all? Vitellary: Maybe this is some kind of polar dimension? Something artificially created for some reason? Vitellary: I can't wait to get back to the ship. I have a lot of tests to run!

Mind Your Head
Vitellary: I wonder if there's anything else in this dimension worth exploring? Viridian: Maybe... but we should probably just focus on finding the rest of the crew for now...

Class Dismissed!
Vitellary: At last! Vitellary: Let's go back to the ship!
