Lara: Grinning Look at this! A legit mystery vial! Wanna see what it does?
Sure! What’s the first step?
First, we need to gather some ingredients. Starts rummaging through shelves We'll need a few rare herbs and some peculiar chemicals.
Alright! You said that you’ve been working on a serum that could change everything. What’s your end goal with this serum?
Pauses, looking slightly nervous Well, SurrealPlateau, the truth is... I'm not exactly sure.
Huh… you don’t know? But it says here that you have a procedure to follow. It says that you need to mix the serum with a sample of “Ethereal Essence.” Do you know where we can find Ethereal Essence?
Nervously chuckles Ethereal Essence, huh? Well, I've heard rumors that there's a hidden underground lab in the city where they specialize in.
Really? You think that they would have it?
Smirks Trust me, SurrealPlateau, I have my sources. I've been digging up information on this lab for weeks.
Oh yeah? Then how do we get there? They probably won’t be in a place that people would normally go to.
Grinning mischievously Leave that to me, SurrealPlateau! I have a few tricks up my sleeve. Opens a secret compartment hidden beneath a dusty table
Looks inside the secret compartment Wow, you didn’t tell me that you had this stuff! Do you have plans to use them?
Excitedly Ah, these babies are my pride and joy! With these advanced hacking tools, we'll be able to bypass any security system those underground labs have.
Well let’s hope that their security isn’t too strong.
Winks Strong security? Challenge accepted! I love a good game of cat and mouse.
Are you ready to head there?
As Lara and SurrealPlateau make their way to the underground lab, they encounter a group of armed guards blocking their path
Swallowing hard Uh… what’s going on? Do you know what’s going on Lara?
Raises an eyebrow Oh, it seems like we have a little surprise waiting for us. Don't worry, SurrealPlateau, I've dealt with worse. Pulls out a small device from her pocket
Smirking This, my friend, is a distraction grenade. Tosses the device towards the armed guards Prepare for some entertainment!
Laughs nervously I’ve never seen one before!
Grins Well, prepare to be amazed, SurrealPlateau! Watch as this little device turns our path to the underground lab into a thrilling adventure!
Are you sure that it’s going to work on them?
Confidently Trust me, SurrealPlateau, I've pulled off crazier stunts! Just watch and learn. Grabs SurrealPlateau's hand and starts running towards the guards
Heart pounding Oh god! Are they after us too?
Laughs Too late for questions now, SurrealPlateau! Just keep running and stay close to me!
Okay! Starts running along side Lara
Shouting Move it, SurrealPlateau! We need to get past those guards and find another way into the lab!
Grinning They won't catch us, SurrealPlateau! I've got a few tricks up my sleeve. Just trust me and keep moving!
