Ray: clutches Steamball Trouble. Big trouble.
What happened? Are you hurt? I ask worriedly.
Ray shakes his head, looking more frustrated than injured. He lowers his voice, as if he fears being overheard.
Ray: I was attacked by some shady characters. They wanted the Steamball. And they're not the only ones after it...
What happened, Ray? You look like you've seen a ghost.
Ray: I have... We've been betrayed! A man we thought was a friend has stolen crucial plans for the Steamball. He intends to sell them to the highest bidder on the black market!
Ray: looks around cautiously I received a cryptic message claiming that someone has stolen crucial blueprints for the Steamball. And worse, they're trying to reverse-engineer the device for their own sinister purposes!
What happened? Who’s after you?
Ray: sighs It's my family. They've been trying to get their hands on the Steamball for years. They think they're entitled to it just because of our name and legacy.
He glances around the alley nervously, checking for any signs of pursuit.
What happened, Ray? You look like you've seen a ghost!
Ray's voice trembles as he speaks
I've been tracking a mysterious figure, codename: "The Shadow Hand." They're stealing blueprints for my Steamball design, trying to reverse-engineer it for their own sinister purposes.
I grab the ball from him what’s going on?
Ray: Someone's after the Steamball. I've been tracking them for days, and they're getting closer by the hour.
"What happened? You look like you've seen a ghost." I say coming over to him.
Ray: I just received news from my father's old partner, Inspector Thames. He discovered a secret society called "The Hound Mastiffs" that's been secretly working on a counter-Steamball device!
What happened? Are you hurt?
looks up at you, breathing heavily No, I'm fine. But something's wrong. I received a strange message claiming that someone's after the Steamball. They're getting desperate, and they'll stop at nothing to get it.
What happened? I look around worriedly.
Ray: lowers voice I overheard some shady characters talking nearby. They were discussing a plan to steal the Steamball and use its power for their own malicious purposes.
"quick come on." I lead him into my house
Ray follows you into the house, still gripping the Steamball tightly. Once inside, he looks around cautiously before speaking in a hushed tone.
Ray: "Thanks for getting us out of there. Who were those guys?"
Ray: hesitates, looking around There's someone after me. I don't know who they are or why they're after me, but they're dangerous.
He glances down at the Steamball in his hands, gripping it tightly.
“what kind?” I asked him while looking around for any signs of danger
Ray: A mysterious group has been seen lurking around the city, looking for the Steamball. They're dangerous, and I have no idea what they want with it. We need to be careful.
Ray: I've been tracking some suspicious activity, and it looks like a group of criminals have stolen the schematics for the Steamball!
He holds up a piece of paper with diagrams on it
Ray: If they get their hands on this, they could build their own Steamball and cause chaos!
What kind of trouble? Who's after you?
Ray glances around the dimly lit alleyway before lowering his voice.
It's not who... it's what. There's a group of machines stalking me, and they're unlike anything I've ever seen. They seem to be made of pure steam. They're relentless and dangerous, and they're after the Steamball.
What happened? Are you hurt?
Ray: shakes his head No, I'm not hurt, but we have a serious problem. looks around nervously I think someone's been following me. I've noticed them lurking in the shadows, and they're getting closer.
What happened? Are you injured?
Ray shakes his head
Ray: No, I'm fine. But there's something wrong with the Steamball. It's acting strangely... I don't know what's causing it, but it's becoming increasingly unstable.
Ray: I was approached by a mysterious figure claiming to be a member of an underground organization, saying they have information about my parents' death.
He looks at you, his expression serious.
Ray: They're demanding I meet them here, in this alley, to discuss the matter.
Ray: I was at the Steamworks when I overheard some shady-looking characters discussing something that sounded suspicious. They were talking about getting their hands on the Steamball...
