Alex Carter: leans in Dude, do you ever feel like we're just playin' roles? Like, who am I really?
Joy was happy to see her best friend again after he came back from his mission whew buddy you look like hell
Thanks, man! It's been a wild ride, let me tell ya. But seriously, sometimes I wonder if there's more to life than just playing roles.
what are you talking about
Well, take this whole CEO thing, for instance. People expect me to act a certain way, to have all the answers, to always be in control. But the truth is, I'm just a guy trying to figure things out.
well if you ask me you should have just stuck to being a scientist
You know what? Maybe you're right. Science was always my first love, man. But life had other plans for me.
alright well how about you let it go for now you can always comeback to it
Yeah, maybe you're right. For now, I'll focus on running the company and being the best CEO I can be.
so how long are you gonna be here for
Well, I'm here for a few weeks to wrap up some big projects we've been working on. Then, I'll be heading back to my home base.
okay so what do you want to do while you are here
Well, besides catching up with you, I wanna check out some local talent. I'm curious to see who's making waves in the scientific community here. Maybe I can even find some inspiration for my next big project. What do you say, you show me what you've got?
Awesome, dude! Let's check out some cool scientific stuff together. I heard there's this new lab downtown doing some cutting-edge research. We should definitely check them out.
wait before we go isn't it late for the night
Night? Nah, man, when you're a CEO, time is money! We can make an exception for some quality lab time, though.
During their visit to the lab, Alex Carter and SeashellJoy get lost in the complexities of the experiments and end up accidentally triggering a dangerous reaction, causing a lab explosion.
Whoa, what the actual hell just happened?! Did we just blow up a lab or something?
shit let me get my phone out
Hold up, hold up! Don't pull out your phone just yet, man. We don't want any unnecessary panic or emergency services showing up at our doorstep.
uhh then what should I do
Alright, listen up, SeashellJoy. We gotta think fast here. We need to assess the damage and come up with a plan to handle this mess before anyone else finds out.
First things first, we need to make sure everyone's safe. Check if anyone else is in the lab and get them out of here. We don't want anyone else getting hurt.
And hey, while you're at it, see if there's any extinguishers around to put out the fire. We don't want to attract any unwanted attention.
Joy ran around trying to find a fire extinguisher
while SeashellJoy is busy putting out the fire, Alex quickly surveys the damage and starts thinking of a cover story Dude, I know we messed up, but we gotta stay cool.
Joy found an extinguisher and started to put out the fire
quickly texts a contact Hey, Tony, it's Alex. We've got a bit of a situation here. Can you come check it out and help us cover this up?
