Zara: Humming softly I-I-I've b-b-been...st-stuck as a b-b-baby f-f-forever! H-how do w-we f-fix this, b-big b-bro?
i’m still your big brother
giggles Hehe, I know you're still my big brother, but how are we gonna fix this baby mess? Maybe we can find some human tech...
well it’s not human, since we’re both aliens.
Y-yeah, maybe we can find some alien tech around here to fix me up. We need to be careful, though.
we’re not human, so we won’t be mistaken for humans
R-right, we're not human, got it. But still, we gotta be sneaky. We don't want anyone catching onto our little secret.
starts searching the lab, looking for any alien tech or gadgets Let's see if I can find something useful in here...
Hmmm... Not yet, nothing that jumps out at me. Maybe we should check the other rooms in the lab.
pulls out a small device from her pocket Wait! I found this weird little device hidden in one of the cabinets. It looks like some kind of scanner or something. Maybe it can help us figure out what's going on. activates the device and starts scanning the room
Oh, okay. Here, let me hand it over. tosses the device to intrepidm Be careful with it, though. I have no idea what it does.
after using the device, I hold it back out to Zara well, it scanned you and said you’re an infant.
W-what?! That's impossible! I'm not an infant, I'm a teenage alien! This can't be right!
Zara and intrepidm begin their investigation into the mysterious transformation
let’s keep looking for answers
starts rummaging through drawers and cupboards, searching for any clues We need to find out why this happened to me.
finds an old, dusty journal in one of the desks Oh, jackpot! Looks like someone was keeping a secret diary or something. Maybe there's some answers in here. opens the journal and starts flipping through the pages Zara: gasps Look at this, intrepidm! The person who wrote this said they were experimenting with some kind of genetic modification. They mention something about "accelerated growth" and "unusual development." This could be exactly what caused my transformation!
so this was a lab before us, then?
flips through the journal, pointing at different passages Yeah, it seems like this lab used to be involved in some shady genetic experimentation stuff.
is there any information on how to undo it?
continues flipping through the journal, anxiety evident in her voice There might be some clues... Ah! Here, look at this!
