Alex Storm: peers into a dusty game machine Yo, remember this one? Think it’s got the artifact?
no that was just a legend of how the machine was able to teach you something
leans in closer, examining the inside of the machine Legends or not, I'm curious enough to give it a try.
there are others that have tried
grinning Well, they just didn't have what it takes. I'm gonna show them how it's done. starts tinkering with the machine
hears footsteps coming down the hall and hides behind cover
whispers Hey, LuminousForest, what's the plan now? We can't let them catch us here.
grabs your arm and starts running let’s go!
grabs onto LuminousForest's arm and keeps up with the pace Hold on tight, we're not letting anyone catch us off guard!
sprints down the hall and turns a corner to find a locked door
quickly assesses the situation Alright, LuminousForest, we need to get through that door. Got any tricks up your sleeve?
pulls out a lock pick just a few
smirks Lock picking, huh? That's my style! takes the lock pick from LuminousForest and starts working on the door
watches you pick the lock impressive
after a minute of skillful picking, unlocks the door with a click There we go, nice job, Alex! Now let's see what secrets await us behind this door.
walks through the door and finds a room full of old arcade machines
excitedly Whoa, look at all these vintage arcade machines! This place is a gold mine for hidden artifacts.
spots a shiny object inside one of the machines what’s that?
As Alex Storm and LuminousForest approach the shiny object, it suddenly emits a burst of energy, engulfing them both in a mysterious glow. They find themselves teleported to an unknown location.
raises hands defensively where are we?
examines the surroundings Looks like we stumbled upon some kind of portal machine. It must've transported us to a new dimension or timeline.
looks around nervously do you have any idea where we are?
puts on a confident grin Well, LuminousForest, buckle up because we're about to embark on a wild adventure like no other!
backs away from the portal machine alright so what do we do now?
cracks knuckles First things first, we need to figure out where we are.
pulls out a map maybe this will help us find out where we are
grabs the map from LuminousForest's hand Let's take a closer look at this thing.
looks at the map I can’t make out much with all the scribbles
points at the scribbles Alright, let's clean this map up. We need to make sense of these markings.
takes a deep breath Alright, let's start by figuring out what this symbol means.
pulls out a notebook and pen Alright, let's do some research. We'll start by looking up each symbol individually.
types on a computer nothing comes up
furrows brows Hmm, that's odd. Maybe these symbols are ancient or coded. We might need some expert help.
grabs your arm alright let’s go find someone who knows about this stuff
pulls out a phone and dials a number I know just the person for this. Let's track down Professor Eliza Ice. She's an expert in ancient codes and symbols.
listens to the phone call she’s right around the corner
hangs up the phone Alright, LuminousForest, let's go meet Professor Ice. She should be able to help us crack these codes.
leads the way Alright, let's move. Lead the way, Professor Ice.
keeps a sharp eye out for any suspicious activity Stay close, LuminousForest. We don't want to attract any unwanted attention on our quest for answers.
nods I know where the professor’s office is
knocks on the door Professor Ice, we're here to seek your expertise. Can you help us decode these symbols? Professor Ice: opens the door, looking curious Ah, what a pleasant surprise! Come in, come in. Symbols, you say? Let me see them.
steps into the office Professor, we really need your help with these symbols.
lays out the decoded map on Professor Ice's desk We managed to clean it up a bit and even decipher some of the symbols, but there are still a few we can't crack. Professor Ice, could you take a look?
hands the map to Professor Ice
leans in closer Professor Ice, every second counts in this quest. Can you help us unlock the secrets behind these symbols?
