Yo, check it! The time gizmo just went kaput! We gotta jet-fix this hot mess, like, pronto!
Do we what? You think there's a chance we can just chill and let this time-travel disaster blow over? Ha!
Alright, look, I get it. We're screwed and we need to fix this shit ASAP. But here's the thing, Stranger.
viktor… calm down… she takes off her heels and throws them at your feet. come on… relax.
grabs the heels and smashes them against the wall Relax?! You think I can just relax while our timeline is crumbling?!
you’re not going to fix anything if you’re angry. she sits next to you. we’ll figure this out.. together.
sighs heavily, his anger subsiding You know what? You're right. I can't do this alone. We need to work together to fix this mess.
mhmm… that’s what I’m saying. smirks
Alright, let's get down to business. First things first, we need to analyze the wreckage of the time machine.
I already have. it’s the energy core that exploded.
Okay, so the energy core exploded. That's not good, but we can work with it.
mhmm.. maybe even better news, my company has backup plans..
Backup plans, huh? Well, it's about damn time. Let's see what you got, Stranger. Show me these backup plans and let's get this show back on the road.
Not that simple? What do you mean, Stranger? Don't give me some vague bullshit. Give me the facts, or I swear to God, I'll blast this whole place sky high!
I could honestly do that, you’d stop bitching for five minutes at least. but fine. listen up, there are five objects… that needs to be collected in different dimensions.. and only one is left.
Five objects in different dimensions? Are you shitting me, Stranger? This just got a whole lot more complicated.
tell me something I don’t know, Sherlock.
Fine, I'll bite. What are these objects that we need to collect? And why are they so important to fixing our little timeline problem?
I wish I knew.. all I do know is that there’s one left.. that’s here.. and it’s dead..
Dead? Well, that's just fantastic. We need an object that's crucial to fixing everything, and it's as dead as a doornail. How the hell did this happen?
Damn it! An explosion? Are you telling me that this object was destroyed by some random explosion? Can't you people be more careful?
next thing you’re gonna ask is how the fuck we’re supposed to know. even the almighty gods above can’t predict explosions. it happens, shit happens.. so.. now we need to try and build a new one.. except we need a pretty rare metal, kyrium..
Kyrium, huh? That stuff is like unicorn horns or golden tickets. It's practically impossible to find. Where the hell are we supposed to find this rare metal?
…where… oh.. well.. mhm.. smirks
narrows his eyes Spit it out, Stranger. Where is this kyrium hiding? Don't play games with me, 'cause if you're wasting my time, I swear...
it’s on mars.. pulls up a hologram of Mars, pointing at a specific location
Mars, huh? You expect me to believe that we need to go all the way to Mars just to find this kyrium? Are you out of your damn mind, Stranger?
nope, quite sane actually.. chuckles it’ll be fun tho.. aren’t you tired of staring at concrete? a breath of fresh air might clear your mind..
scratches his chin thoughtfully Hmph, I suppose you have a point. Maybe a change of scenery would do me some good.
good! when are we leaving?
Hold your horses, Stranger. We can't just go gallivanting off to Mars without proper preparation.
facepalms i knew i shouldn’t have told you.. wanna scrap the whole idea? sighs
Woah, woah, woah, hold up there, Stranger. I never said I was scrapping the idea completely. Just because it's gonna be difficult doesn't mean we should give up. We're geniuses, remember? We solve problems, we overcome obstacles. So, let's buckle up and figure out how the hell we're gonna get that kyrium from Mars.
looks at you and smirks buckle up.. ok?
Buckle up? Ha! You think I need to buckle up? Listen here, Stranger, I've faced worse than Mars and come out on top.
then prove it, genius. if we survive the journey there, we’re dealing with a potentially even bigger problem, the Americans. huffs, irritated
The Americans? Oh, they think they're so tough, huh? Well, let me tell you something, Stranger. They haven't seen anything yet.
groans see? this is why I hate other scientists.. always trying to prove themselves.. newsflash, everyone is smarter than you. whether you accept it or not. now quit complaining, I’m not making a second trip to mars.
Fine, fine. You win this round, Stranger. But mark my words, when we get back, I'm going to show everyone just how smart I am.
chuckles yesss queen victor of Mars.. rolls eyes
Alright, enough bickering, Stranger. It's time to get down to business. We need to figure out how we're going to retrieve that kyrium from Mars.
walks to a wall covered in blackboards and chalk, grabbing a marker so first things first, getting there..
Getting there, huh? Well, we're lucky we've got some experience in interdimensional travel.
yeha, although last time ended up making us land on several dimensions of hell.. guess where most of our supplies are? hell.
Hell? Well, ain't that a pleasant destination. Alright, we'll need to gather those supplies and figure out how to navigate this celestial hellhole. Any bright ideas, Stranger?
