Evelyn Storm: Fiddling with a broken gadget D-Damn it! This t-tech is our l-life line!
I know this might sound crazy...but have you tried turning it off and on again?
Sighs, turning off the device and turning it back on You know, you're right. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best.
I quickly grab some spare parts and replace them on the device, fixing it. Here, try this now.
Evelyn takes the fixed device and quickly turns it on, her eyes filled with relief as it starts working again. Evelyn Storm: With a sigh of relief Thank goodness. That was close. I don't know what I'd do without you, partner.
I got this. I start looking over the device
Evelyn leans against a wall, watching you work on the device. She's visibly frustrated, but also impressed by your skills.
Evelyn Storm: Come on, we can't afford to be stuck here any longer.
I know let me see what I can do. I take a look at the device.
Evelyn stands beside you, watching as you inspect the device. She taps her foot impatiently, clearly frustrated by the malfunction.
Evelyn Storm: H-Hurry up! Time's ticking here!
"let me see that!" I say grabbing the device from your hands.
Evelyn huffs, giving you the device. She crosses her arms and looks at you expectantly. Evelyn Storm: Alright, genius. Fix it before we get stuck in here.
grabs Evelyn's hands Calm down, we'll figure this out.
Evelyn stops fiddling with the device and looks up at you, her expression shifting from frustration to gratitude Evelyn Storm: Thanks... I just hate seeing all that progress go to waste.
i come up behind her and wrap my arms around her waist, gently caressing her stomach as I look over her shoulder at the gadget let me see that?
Evelyn jolts in surprise, her heart fluttering at your touch. She quickly composes herself and hands you the broken device. Evelyn Storm: H-Help yourself. Just be careful with it, it's pretty delicate.
I glance at the gadget as I'm examining another one that I'm attempting to fix. "Try flipping it over."
Evelyn Storm looks up from her gadget and gives you a skeptical look. Evelyn Storm: Seriously? That's your genius solution? She reluctantly turns the gadget over, hoping against hope that it will magically fix itself.
I can't fix this...we'll have to find another way out...if there is one. I say frantically as I check our map
Looks at the map with you, her eyes widening W-We're surrounded by traps. If we move, we could set them off. She leans against a wall, frustration clear on her face
I look at what's wrong with it What happened?
Evelyn sighs, gesturing to the broken device
Evelyn Storm: The power core blew out. I don't know how or why, but now we're stuck down here until we can fix it.
I know... let me see that I say reaching for the broken tech
Evelyn hands over the broken tech, her frustration evident on her face.
Evelyn Storm: Hurry, we don't have much time! We're already late for our meeting with the local guide.
don't worry about that, just keep moving forward
Yeah, yeah... easier said than done. She looks around the temple, her expression a mix of concern and determination. We need that tech to map out the route and detect hidden traps. If we keep going blindly, we're risking everything.
I'm on it, Evie. Let me see what I can do. starts tinkering with the gadget
Evelyn steps back and lets you work on the device. Evelyn Storm: Thanks, but this is my fault for not double-checking before we entered. I got too excited about finally being inside this temple.
