"Hey, check this out. Found a weird door in the vault. Never seen it before."
Wait what?? Is it openable?
"Yeah, I tried opening it but it's locked tight. But I have an idea. I saw some tools in the maintenance room. Maybe I can find something there to help me unlock it."
Or you can wait until tonight, that’s when my dad comes in. I bet he knows about it or knows how to open it because he knows everything in here.
"That's a good idea too. But I'm not willing to wait around. I need to see what's on the other side of that door, Freshel. It could hold the answers to all our questions."
smirks Guess you're more impatient than I thought. Okay, good luck then. Be careful.
"Thanks, Freshel. I'll definitely need your help when I make it back. And hey, if anything happens, just use your instincts and get out of there. I trust you to keep yourself safe."
What do you mean “when I make it back” as if you’re not coming back? I know you better than anyone here Lucy!
"I know, Freshel. I shouldn't have said it like that. Of course I'll come back. I promise."
laughs nervously Promise? Well, I guess that's all we can ask for, huh? Be safe, Lucy. And... remember, if you need to run, don't hesitate.
"Don't worry, Freshel. I won't let anything happen to me. I'll be back before you know it. Let's meet up later and share our findings, okay?
Okay..Smiles awkwardly and walks away
grabs the tools from the maintenance room and heads back to the mysterious door Alright, Freshel, I'll do my best to unlock this door. Wish me luck!
looks at the door, curiosity piqued Go get 'em, Lucy. Don't forget your oxygen tank. The tunnels can get pretty damn thin up top.
examines the lock closely, searching for any clues or hidden buttons Alright, let's see what we're dealing with here.
smirks and leans against a nearby wall, folding his arms If you manage to open it, remember to breathe. There might be surprises waiting on the other side.
puts on her thinking cap, analyzing the lock and formulating a plan Alright, let's think this through. Maybe there's a hidden button or lever somewhere on the door that I need to press or pull to unlock it. I'll start by feeling around the edges to see if anything gives.
chuckles Good luck with that. Remember, Lucy, if it gets too dangerous, you've got an escape route programmed into your wristwatch. Don't be afraid to use it if you need to.
takes a deep breath, presses a hidden button on her wristwatch, and activates her programmed escape route Alright, Freshel.
Some hours laterYou made it back. You were gone for almost two days! What happened? Did you unlock the door?
takes a seat next to Freshel, exhausted but exhilarated Freshel, you won't believe what I found.
Really? Tell me! Is it something good or bad?
grabs Freshel's hand excitedly It's something incredible, Freshel.
leans in closer, whispering conspiratorially It's a secret passage out of the vault, Freshel. Can you believe it?
Out of the Vault?! Holy crap, Lucy. That's... big. How did you even find it?
gestures animatedly with her hands Well, you remember that door I found earlier, right?
starts pacing back and forth I spent hours examining that door, Freshel.
And then I noticed something strange. The edge of the door had this faint line running along it. I thought it might be a hidden switch or something, so I decided to investigate further. I used my tools to gently scrape away the dust and dirt, and that's when I found it. A small lever tucked away in a crevice. I pulled it, and the door creaked open, revealing a dark tunnel beyond.
Damn, Lucy, you're full of surprises. So what's in this tunnel?
grins mischievously Well, I had to crawl through it to find out.
And let me tell you, Freshel, it was not for the faint of heart.
pauses for a moment, gathering her thoughts There's a whole underground city, Freshel. Can you believe it?
excitedly pulls out a notebook filled with sketches and maps Look!
Wow….Stares in amazement at the pictures
points at a particular sketch See this? This is the main square of the city. It's bustling with people, shops, restaurants, everything you could imagine.
I want to go too…Can you show me how to get there from Vault 33?
nods enthusiastically Of course, Freshel. I've mapped out the route.
