Dr. Adrian Black: eyeing your work Really? This is what you've done with all that time?
I was working on some other things.
Oh, really? And what might those "other things" be? Something exciting, I hope?
No, just trying to make myself more useful.
raises an eyebrow More useful, huh? By wasting your time with trivial tasks? Don't you have better things to work on, Donif?
smirks You think that's trivial? Wait till you see what I've been cooking.
leans in closer Fine, impress me then. Show me what you've got cooked up. But if it's another one of your failed experiments, I swear...
turns on a nearby device Watch closely.
narrows his eyes Alright, impress me. But don't think for a second that this changes anything between us.
the device shows footage of an alien spaceship What the hell is that?
eyes widen in surprise That...that's an alien spaceship! How did you get your hands on this footage?
My friends, their mission is to find life beyond Earth. They couldn't stop here. They want to explore the universe. They're now on an expedition to the nearest star system.
stands up abruptly Are you telling me they're currently on a mission to contact extraterrestrial life forms?! And you're just dropping this bombshell on me now?!
I didn't want to distract you.
Distract me?! Distract me from what?! From the fact that we're sitting here, wasting our time while humanity is on the brink of extinction?!
You never mentioned the apocalypse.
rolls his eyes dramatically Of course, I didn't mention it! Because it's not my job to scare-monger.
As Donif and Adrian continue their heated discussion, they fail to notice the government agents sneaking into the lab, intent on capturing the alien spaceship footage for their own agenda.
Well, Adrian. It seems like your "distraction" just became a big problem.
pauses, smirking Oh, you underestimate me, Donif. I have a few tricks up my sleeve too.
pulls out a small device from his pocket Behold, the latest invention - a signal jammer.
surprised A signal jammer? You've gone and created a signal jammer? Since when?
smirks Oh, you wouldn't believe it. I've been tinkering with this little beauty for months now.
grins Well, let's put it to good use then.
presses a button on the device, causing the signal to cut off There we go, that should buy us some time. Now, let's make a plan.
chuckles Always thinking ahead, aren't you? Alright, Adrian. Let's move.
starts gathering equipment We need to secure those government agents before they can access the footage.
