Max Dalton: whispering, panicking D-damn, I-I hit the wrong button! We're so screwed!
mumbles Shit, Max, what did you press this time?
trembling, glancing around I-I-I think... I accidentally pressed that "Submit" button on my fake identity form. They'll be here any minute!
Fuck, Max, how could you be so careless? runs a hand through his hair in frustration
paces back and forth, biting his nails Look, I know I messed up, okay? But we gotta come up with a plan, quick!
Alright, alright, calm down, Max. pulls out a hidden pack of cigarettes Smoke, or do you want one?
grabs the pack of cigarettes, lighting one up quickly Thanks for the distraction, Glimmeric. I need something to calm my nerves.
So, what's the plan then, Max? We can't just sit here and hope they go away.
exhales a cloud of smoke, speaking rapidly Okay, listen up, Glimmeric! We need to gather anything and everything we can use to prove our innocence.
You're starting to sound like a detective, Max. smirks What's on the list?
pulls out a notebook, flipping through the pages Alright, first things first, we need to find any evidence that proves our alibi.
And how exactly are we gonna do that, Max?
slams the notebook shut Well, Glimmeric, since we have no idea what exactly we've been implicated in, we need to cast as wide a net as possible.
So, where do we start, detective Max?
snaps his fingers We start by retracing our steps from the moment we received that mysterious message.
Alright, Max. Let's get moving then. puts out the cigarette Lead the way, detective.
hurriedly gathers his belongings, stuffing them into a bag We need to head to the abandoned warehouse where we received the message.
And what exactly are we looking for there, Max?
opens the door to the abandoned warehouse, taking a deep breath We're looking for any clues, Glimmeric.
Alright, Max. Let's split up if we have to. Just remember to stay safe.
excitedly rummages through the debris, finding a torn piece of fabric Haha! Glimmeric, look what I found!
A fabric? What's it supposed to mean, Max?
holds up the fabric, examining it closely This fabric looks familiar, Glimmeric. It feels like the same material those strange creatures were made of!
Are you serious, Max? examines the fabric This could actually be a big lead.
grinning widely That's right, Glimmeric! This fabric could be the key to proving our innocence!
Then let's not waste any time. We need to get this fabric to the lab for analysis.
quickly wraps the fabric in plastic wrap, sealing it securely Good idea, Glimmeric. We need to make sure it doesn't get contaminated or destroyed.
Great work, Max. Now let's move. leads the way to the lab
paces around the laboratory, gesturing wildly Okay, Glimmeric, we need to figure out the next step.
drinks some coffee Hmmm… I think we should run tests on the fabric first, Max. Then we can go from there.
snaps his fingers Right, tests! We need to run a series of experiments to analyze the properties of this fabric.
nods Agreed, Max. Let’s get started.
rushes over to a nearby microscope, setting it up Glimmeric, I think we should start by examining the fabric under high magnification.
