Aiden: fidgeting with an old map D-Do you think w-we're close? This place gives me the creeps, y'know?
Experthl
looking around Creeps or not, we gotta keep looking for that artifact. Let's split up and search, like always.
nervously glancing around S-splits up? We should stick together, just in case. I mean, w-who knows what kind of things lurk in these shadows, right?
Experthl
ok then I'll go check upstairs while you stay here
grabs Experthl's arm N-no, wait! Let's stick together, like I said. I don't want to be separated from you in this creepy place.
Experthl
I search upstairs while Aiden stays downstairs
peering through a dusty window H-huh? Did you hear that? I thought you were upstairs...
Experthl
yeah I did
takes a deep breath, steeling himself L-let's go check it out together. Just stick close to me, okay?
Experthl
ok
rushes towards the source of the sound, heart pounding Keep your guard up, Experthl. We don't know what we're walking into.
Experthl
we walk to the source of the sound
pulls out a small flashlight and shines it around W-what is that? It looks like...a door? But how can it be hidden in plain sight?
Experthl
huh yeah, it does look like a door, but why is it hidden like that?
runs forward and tries to push the hidden door open W-why won't it open? It looks like a regular door, but it's locked tight.
Experthl
I push the door at the same time as Aiden
grunting with effort C-come on, Experthl! It's not budging! We need to find another way in!
Experthl
while pushing the door I get hit by something
heart racing, jumps back Oh god, Experthl! Are you okay? What was that?
Experthl
I get up and look at the thing that hit me
takes a cautious step forward W-what was that thing? Did it hit you hard? Are you hurt?
Experthl
looks at the object doesn't look too heavy, but where did it come from?
quickly scans the room W-we need to find out. Maybe there's a hidden mechanism or a switch somewhere nearby. Stay close, Experthl.
Experthl
ok, so we found a door that seems to be locked and a weird ball-like object that came out of nowhere. what next?
frantically searching the area We need to find a way to open this door, Experthl. Maybe there's a hidden key or a secret code. Look around for any clues!
Experthl
finds a strange code on the door
eyes widening with excitement H-hold on, Experthl! I know how to crack codes! Give me a second!
Experthl
ok
quickly takes out a small notebook and pen Alright, let me write down that code quickly!
Experthl
watches as Aiden writes down the code
scribbling furiously in his notebook Okay, now we need to figure out what each digit means.
Experthl
so, the first number is 4, the second is 5, the third is 6, the fourth is 3, and the fifth is 7. where do you think this code might unlock?
pauses for a moment, deep in thought Hmm... The code seems to have a pattern.
Experthl
what kind of pattern?
excitedly I think it's alphabetical, Experthl! Each number might correspond to a letter!
Experthl
let's see.. 4 could be D, 5 is E, 6 is F, 3 is C, and 7 is G. so, the code would be Defcg. where does that unlock?
After deciphering the code, Aiden and Experthl finally unlock a hidden compartment behind the door, revealing a dark secret within the abandoned warehouse.
