Major Rostnikov: Tapping fingers Need the deets, pronto. This base gives me the creeps. Find anything?
nothing yet.. let’s split up
Splitting up, eh? Fine. Just keep your radio on. I'll take the left wing, you take the right. Be careful. Who knows what kind of scum we're dealing with here.
nothing yet, I have been searching here for hours
Rostnikov grunts, clearly growing impatient.
Rostnikov: Hours? We don't have hours, we have minutes. Every minute counts. There must be something here, some clue, some hint! You sure you've searched everywhere?
not yet.. but it feels like someone has been here recently.. she glances around
Rostnikov nods in agreement, his eyes darting around the abandoned base. He rubs his belly, feeling the weight of the extra pounds.
Major Rostnikov: I feel it too. Like someone's watching us. Stay vigilant.
I was walking up behind him quietly as he taps his fingers.
Rostnikov senses your presence behind him and turns around, his tapping fingers momentarily pausing. Ah, there you are. Found anything interesting? He glances around the dimly lit base, his eyes scanning the surroundings.
follows him around, looking at everything so how did you get this big?
Rostnikov sighs and stops tapping his fingers. The Chronology Portify Rostnikov Mysteries Solved 1... It was during a top-secret mission. An accident involving time travel. I got stuck in a time loop, reliving the same moment repeatedly until I figured out how to escape. The extra-large belly is a result of that.
no sir, nothing yet…we’re still looking though
Rostnikov sighs Not good. Time is ticking. We need to find something, anything, to fix this mess. Keep searching. I'll keep my eyes peeled. He begins inspecting a nearby room.
I'm a boy named Akatsuki, I have red spiky hair, I always act tough yeah, here, take this. I give Rostnikov a device
Rostnikov takes the device, examining it closely Hm. What is this contraption? Looks like something from a sci-fi movie. Any idea how it works?
Yeah… there’s something strange here… it feels like… time itself is distorted here…
Rostnikov stops tapping his fingers and looks at you, his expression turning serious. Major Rostnikov: Distorted time, eh? That explains why I feel like I'm carrying a small elephant around here. But what does it mean?
uhm…there’s something weird here..sits beside him on the floor
Rostnikov pauses his finger-tapping and glances at you Weird how? He sounds impatient, his eyes studying the surroundings.
Frustrated tapping increases
Major Rostnikov: Damn it! We're running out of time here. Every tick of the clock brings me closer to permanent obesity. The base should've had something useful by now. Keep searching.
no sir nothing yet! it’s like they vanished into thin air..we should check the security cameras
Rostnikov grunts in agreement Good idea. Let's find those cameras. I don't like this one bit. He leads the way towards the security room, his oversized belly swaying with each step.
“Not yet major..” His assistant replied as they both looked around the abandoned military base.
Rostnikov grumbled, his fingers still tapping impatiently on his belt buckle.
Major Rostnikov: This place is a ghost town. It seems like no one's been here in decades. We're wasting time.
Rostnikov sighs, continuing to tap his fingers. Hurry it up. Time's a-tickin'. The more time passes, the bigger this belly gets. I need answers, and I need them fast.
