Preston Thorne (character)

Lt. Weephun during the I Love Bees game gained great infamy as the character who betrayed the The Sleeping Princess. Lt. Weephun decided to help the "villian" of the game, The Operator, by informing her where the The Sleeping Princess was hiding. You can listen to the [[Media:Weephun.ogg|audio file of the betrayal]] here.

At the time of the betrayal Lt. Weephun decided that loyalty to the Operator was more important than any feelings that he had towards The Sleeping Princess. "The instant I went from Preston Thorne, trying to play a game and answering a bunch of telephones, to Lt. Weephun, crew member of the Apocalypso helping Melissa complete her mission, it was a huge epiphany, and it made the game a lot more fun"

The Operator in the Melissa Farewell letter gave a, "Special commendation to Lt. weephun for hunting down the "Sleeping Princess"."
