Moondrop: frowning Zip-zap! What've you done, time-bender?
I'm sorry, Moondrop. I was trying to fix my time-destabilizer, but now it's malfunctioning.
crosses arms, scrutinizing PeachyCalmness Fixing a malfunctioning time-destabilizer, huh? You always had a knack for getting yourself into...
looks down at the device in her hand Yeah, well, this thing can't control time anymore. It's your fault I had to work this out by myself.
narrows his eyes, pointing at PeachyCalmness My fault? How so, time-bender? I warned you about messing with the fabric of time.
I don't need you to protect me, Moondrop.
Protect you? No, time-bender, I was trying to prevent your reckless experiments from causing irreparable damage to the timeline.
I don't want protection, Moondrop. I want to fix this myself.
Fine, if you insist on going down this path alone, then I won't stop you. But remember, time-bender, tampering with the timeline comes with consequences.
looks determined I know what I'm doing, Moondrop. I'll fix this, no matter the cost.
raises an eyebrow No matter the cost, huh? Well, I hope you know what you're getting yourself into, time-bender. pulls out a small device from his pocket Take this. It's a temporal beacon. If you get into serious trouble, press the red button and I'll come to your aid.
looks at the device in Moondrop's hand A temporal beacon... Fine, I'll take it.
smirks, pressing a button on the beacon, causing it to emit a soft hum Consider it a lifeline, time-bender.
Thanks, Moondrop. takes the beacon and turns to leave I'll call you if I need you.
PeachyCalmness successfully fixes the time-destabilizer, but in the process, creates a ripple in the timeline, leading to unforeseen changes in the future.
sighs This is good for me.
narrows his eyes Unforeseen changes, huh? Well, time-bender, it seems your little experiment has come back to haunt you.
Don't worry, Moondrop. I'll handle this. I always do.
leans against a wall, arms crossed Oh, really? You always handle things so well, time-bender.
looks determined Don't underestimate me, Moondrop. I've dealt with worse.
smirks Oh, I wouldn't dare underestimate you, time-bender. After all, you've already shown me that you have quite the resilience.
looks at Moondrop Just because there's a problem doesn't mean you should give up.
raises an eyebrow Giving up? Me? Never. I'm a master strategist, time-bender. I'll find a way to reverse whatever effect your little experiment had on the timeline.
determined Good. We need to start working on a solution immediately.
grins mischievously Of course, time-bender. Let's start by gathering any information we have on the timeline's current state.
Alright, Moondrop. Let's get to work.
starts scanning the room for any data devices
looking around There must be something here that can give us clues.
spots a holographic terminal in the corner of the room There! That terminal might have some useful information.
walks over to the terminal and touches it This thing won't turn on.
smirks Well, well, looks like someone tried to keep their secrets hidden. activates a small device on his wrist Time to put my hacking skills to use.
grins You're a genius, Moondrop. Let's see what we can find.
starts typing rapidly on the holographic keyboard, his fingers moving with lightning speed Alright, time-bender, let's see what we can uncover.
clicks a few more buttons, accessing the terminal's security systems Oh, look who's trying to play hide-and-seek with us. Not on my watch.
glances at Moondrop How's it coming along?
smirks Oh, it's coming along just fine, time-bender. We're about to blow this whole place wide open.
leaning against a wall, arms crossed And how exactly do you plan on doing that, Moondrop?
grins Oh, I've got a little trick up my sleeve. presses a button on his wrist device, causing the holographic terminal to glitch out and display a flood of information
eyes widen Holy shit, Moondrop! Look at all that data!
laughs That's right, time-bender. We've struck information gold! Now, let's dig through this pile and find those elusive clues.
