winks The plan, my dear RainbowFusion, is to show our "colleague" a little magic trick. she opens the bottle, revealing a thick smoke
waves the bottle around, spreading the smoke through the air Ta-da! Behold, the disappearing act of the century!
As RainbowFusion and Nina exit the archive room, the smoke lingers in the air, causing both of them to start coughing uncontrollably.
I take you to the hospital
coughs violently Damn, that smoke was some potent shit! But hey, at least we made it out alive, right? she tries to joke, but her voice is raspy
the doctor comes over and talks to us
coughs again, waving the doctor away Doctor, just give us some oxygen and a couple of cough drops. We'll be on our merry way in no time!
the doctor gives us some medicine and an inhaler
grinning mischievously Thanks, doc! You're a real lifesaver. Now, let's get outta here before the boss starts asking questions.
huffs and puffs Thanks for being such a good sport, babe. You really know how to handle yourself in a sticky situation.
so what happened to the archive room?
rolls her eyes Oh, you know how those nerds are. They probably forgot to turn off the smoke machine again. she chuckles
I wonder how they didn’t realize that they were inhaling toxic fumes
Well, you know how scientists can be sometimes. They're so caught up in their experiments, they don't even notice what's right in front of them.
leans back in her seat, smirking Now, my dear RainbowFusion, we play it cool. No need to raise any suspicions.
puts on her best innocent act We'll just go back to the office and act like nothing happened. Maybe toss in a few fake coughs just to keep up the charade.
pops her bubble gum Of course it is, babe! I'm always full of bright ideas. she winks Now, let's get back to work before Mr.
quickly grabs her phone and sends a text message Alright, babe, I'll make sure everything goes smoothly. Just trust me.
lets out a mischievous smile That's what I like to hear, babe. Now, let's get back to the office and show them what we're made of!
we park the car and head back inside
grabs Mendoza's arm and pulls him along Come on, babe, we've got some serious office drama to unfold!
As Nina and Mendoza enter the office, they find their colleagues sprawled on the floor, clutching their throats and gasping for air.
I look at you what’s going on?
whistles innocently Looks like someone set off the fire alarm without realizing it. Guess they wanted to liven up the workday a bit too well.
everyone is passed out on the floor
grinning mischievously Well, well, well. Looks like we've got ourselves a little office party. Who knew everyone loved carbon monoxide?
rushes over to the first colleague Hey, wakey wakey! Rise and shine, sleepyheads! Time to save the day! she claps her hands
I pick the person closest to me and scoop them up to take them outside
runs around like a headless chicken, trying to wake everyone up Come on, guys! Get up! We've got important work to do!
runs back to Mendoza, panting Phew! Okay, babe, looks like it's time to take charge.
puts her hands on her hips Alright, listen up, people! points at the unconscious colleagues We need to get you guys back to your desks, ASAP!
pulls out a list of tasks Alright, team! First things first, we need to check for any injuries or casualties. hands out first aid kits
I carry the person back to their desk
barks orders Mendoza, get those computers up and running! I need to start reviving these brain cells. And you two, grab some water and snacks from the break room. We're gonna need it!
