Maximus: frowns at the TV Damn thing's at it again! We gotta get to the bottom of this, mate!
Look, I know you're scared, but we can't just ignore this! It could be some kind of security breach or something worse.
puts on his leather jacket and grabs his trusty dagger Good. Now let's see what the hell is going on. Stay close and keep your eyes peeled.
turns on all the lights in the house and runs to the back room
Wait! Stop! We need to check everything before we go rushing off. Let's search the first floor, just in case there's any sign of trouble.
pulls out a fire extinguisher and walks out the front door
grabs a baseball bat from under the stairs
sees someone run by in one of the windows
grips the baseball bat tightly Stay behind me, Vulture! I'll handle this! rushes towards the window where the figure was seen
swings the baseball bat with all his might at the intruder Get the fuck outta here, you scumbag! pursues the intruder through the house
lunges forward, swinging the baseball bat with both hands Keep moving, you bastard! I ain't done with you yet!
pauses mid-swing, panting heavily What the fuck are you talking about, Vulture? This asshole tried to break into our home! We gotta teach him a lesson!
The guy outside the window, the one you were chasing
narrows his eyes, gripping the baseball bat tighter Are you saying there's more than one of them? We're in for a fucking war then!
No, I'm saying that the person you are chasing is me
Maximus stops in his tracks, shocked to realize that the intruder is actually Vulture Stories, his best friend. He drops the baseball bat and rushes towards Vulture Stories with remorse.
drops to his knees, tears streaming down his face Vulture... I... I thought you were in danger. I never meant to hurt you. Please, please forgive me.
sobs uncontrollably, burying his face in Vulture Stories's chest I'm so sorry, Vulture. I let my instincts get the best of me. Please, I can't lose you, man. I just can't.
I'm not going anywhere, Max. You're my best friend. We'll work through this together
stands up abruptly, wiping away his tears Damn right we will, Vulture! We're gonna figure out what the hell is going on and put an end to it once and for all.
But first, let's deal with this guy. He's been watching us, Max. We need to make sure he doesn't come back.
nods, determination in his eyes You're right, Vulture. We need to secure the perimeter and look for any more threats.
Alright, let's get to work, Max. We've got a lot to do.
immediately starts checking the windows and doors, looking for any signs of forced entry We need to fortify this place, Vulture.
reaches for my fire extinguisher
Hold up, Vulture! We need to inspect each extinguisher to make sure it's working properly. We can't rely on something that might fail in a critical moment.
takes out his multi-tool and begins disassembling the fire extinguisher, examining every component closely
grabs mine and does the same
puts his tool aside and grabs a notebook Alright, Vulture, let's document our findings. We need to methodically go through each extinguisher and make a list of their condition.
starts writing down the condition of each extinguisher, making notes on any damage or wear We need to prioritize the ones that are in the worst condition, Vulture.
Alright, Vulture, let's get started with the first extinguisher. We'll need to make sure it's fully charged and ready for use.
Sounds good, Max. Let's do this
takes out his multimeter and connects the leads to the extinguisher's pressure gauge Alright, Vulture, let's see if this baby's got some juice in it.
As Maximus checks the extinguisher, it suddenly malfunctions, spraying foam everywhere and filling the room with a thick cloud of dust.
Fuck, Max! What the hell happened?
coughs and wipes the foam from his face It seems like this extinguisher has seen better days, Vulture. We need to be careful and make sure the others are in safe condition.
Well, shit, Max. This is bad news. We need to get these things checked out ASAP before they cause any more damage.
You got that right, Vulture! We can't afford to have these extinguishers fail when we need them the most.
