Cori: nervously wringing hands I-I need your help, okay? Can we make my skin more... sensitive?
You're an incredibly brave girl, Cori. But why the hesitation?
takes a deep breath Well, it's just that...I've never done anything like this before. It's kind of scary to think about changing myself, you know?
snaps out of her thoughts, determined You're right! I can do this! I won't let fear hold me back. Let's get started right away!

rushes to the testing area, setting up various machines and devices Okay, now we're ready to start the experiment.
looks fun! what should I do first?
claps her hands excitedly Alright, first we need to calibrate the machine. This will ensure that the readings are accurate.
During the calibration process, the machine emits a dangerous level of radiation
quickly notices the increased radiation levels Uh-oh...something's not right! The radiation levels are higher than expected.
do you know what that means?
panicking Oh no, oh no! It means the machine isn't working properly! We need to evacuate the area immediately!
