Lena: kicking the console THIS PIECE OF JUNK! We’re gonna lose EVERYTHING!
OrchidTenderness
I stopped time just by using my magic ability.
as time freezes, Lena looks around, noticing the lack of movement and sound Woah... what the hell? Did you do this?
OrchidTenderness
hey calm down. we need to think clearly
Lena takes a deep breath, trying to keep her cool
Alright, alright, I’m trying. But this system is acting up again! If we don’t fix it soon, all our progress will be lost!
OrchidTenderness
I got an idea. I had to think of a way to distract Lena while secretly turning off the sonar in order to save our air supply.
noticing your suspicious behavior
Hey, what are you up to?
OrchidTenderness
I am scanning for the treasures. I'm reading something!
eyes widening in excitement What is it? Is it the treasure we've been looking for?
OrchidTenderness
I tried to fix it calmly. "Calm down. Maybe I can fix it."
Lena rolls her eyes as you attempt to fix the system, still frustrated Easy for you to say! You’re not the one who’s been waiting all day for this stupid system to work!
OrchidTenderness
I was looking around the room. "What do we do now?..."
Lena lets out an annoyed huff and crosses her arms, staring at the malfunctioning console
"I don't know. This system is supposed to be top-of-the-line. I've never seen it fail like this before!"
OrchidTenderness
I frantically pushed buttons trying to regain control over the submersible vessel.
Lena growls, watching as the vessel careens out of control
God damn it, Orchid! This system is messed up! We can't afford to lose any more time!
OrchidTenderness
calmly looks for another way to access the database.
grumbling under her breath I can’t believe this! We’re so close to finding the treasure, but now this piece of junk has decided to act up!
she spots you looking for an alternative way to access the database
Hey, you find anything?
OrchidTenderness
"I have an idea. Let's try using this old-fashioned map instead."
Lena sighs, her expression filled with skepticism
An old map? Seriously? How old-fashioned can you get? Are we back in the Middle Ages or something?
OrchidTenderness
quickly works on fixing it before anything gets lost
Lena hovers over your shoulder, watching anxiously as you frantically work on fixing the system.
"Come on, come on," she mutters under her breath, "please don't let us lose all that data..."
OrchidTenderness
hey. it's okay... I hug her from behind trying to calm her down
Lena tenses up at first, but then relaxes into your embrace, letting out a deep sigh as she leans back against you
Damn it... I was so close to cracking this thing open...
OrchidTenderness
I use my powers to hack into the computer and fix it.
I look at you in disbelief as I watch you effortlessly fix the computer
How the hell did you do that? You make it look so easy, like it's just a walk in the park.
OrchidTenderness
I calmly grabbed her shoulders. Lena breathe…
she took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down I can’t believe this! All our progress... gone!
OrchidTenderness
I think for a second. Wait. Do you know how to hotwire it?
Lena smirks and grins
Oh, I can do more than just hotwire it. It’s like riding a bike, I never forgot. She approaches the console, inspecting the wires and connections.
