What will you do?
Talk to Twitch.
Twitch and you agreed to meet in her Lab, to maintain your Gear. You arrive first and decide to wait. As you sit in a chair in the huge lab, you can't help but feel nervous. You rub your hands up and down on your thighs as you try to focus on the task at hand.
In a few minutes, Twitch arrives with several large boxes. She places them on the floor in front of her and then sits down in her chair. With a little effort, you pry open the boxes and find all manner of gadgets.
"So... tell me about yourself."
You hesistate for a moment.
"Well... I don't know where to begin..."
"Start at the tip and work your way down!" she laughs.
It's kind of a strange request, but you decide it's best to humor her. You move towards the very tip and reach out your hand."What do you think you'll use this for?" you ask.
"This?" she asks with a laugh as she picks up an odd metal disk the size of a fingernail.
"Yeah, is this going to be big enough?"
"Oh yeah."
She drops it into your palm and it splinters in half.
"Jesus, I didn't even feel that!" she laughs.
"Alright then, what about this little..." you carefully place a circle of metal the size of a button in her hand. "What do you think?"
"It's perfect."
You pick up a little metal cube and drop it into her open palm. She closes her fingers around it without breaking its sides.
"Oh my god, that's cold!"
"Alright, alright, you can stop, you got the right size."
You paw through the large pile of gadgets and find a set that will work for you.
"How about this one?"
She takes the device and fiddles with the parts, screws, wires and other pieces inside it.
"This one should be good!" she says as she hands it back to you.
"Alright, well that's all I have. Do you want me to keep going?"
"Sure! Go ahead."
You make several more selections for her as she checks them all.
"This will be great for us, I can't wait to test it out!"
"We're going to have so much fun with this."
You really have no idea what she's planning, but you're more than willing to play along for the time being.
"What is it for?"you ask her. "Oh that its like an impact granade but it scans in a 10m radius for enemys." She explains.
"Wow, that's pretty cool."
"Well it could be better, but hey we just got this so we can still make it better right?"
"Oh... Yeah!"
"Alright, well I think we got everything, I should really get back to the others."
"Oh you're not going to stay?" she asks.
"Now that you say it I have somthing in mind Emma, can I call you Emma?"
"If you want to, but its short for Emmanuelle."
