Last we left off, our protagonist, the inquisitive MoltonMontro, was tasked with retrieving a rare copper-based fire extinguisher from local mueseum curator Pork after a particularly bad chemical accident had occured a few blocks down at TopHatPesky’s laboratory. Coincidentally, Pork is also one of two people that could potentially provide explosives to the nerfarious Benson Bexton.
Scene 3
Molt hurriedly pulls up to the museum, a large and utilitarian building flanked by two massive hangars. Pushing through the revolving glass doors, he rushes to the front desk; and seeing nobody there, he all but slams the bell with a clang that echoes throughout the empty halls.
Nothing happens for a moment, then a blue hologram flickers to life in the receptionist’s seat.
Hologram: Bonjour, monsieur, puis-je vous aider?
MoltonMontro: I’m…I’m sorry?
Hologram: Oh, English. Sorry about that. I’m Oyamat, how may I help you?
MoltonMontro: I’m looking for the museum curator, Pork. There’s been an accident a few blocks down and they told me to retrieve a copper-based fire extinguisher from him.
Oyamat: (rolls his eyes) Oh, not this again. You’ll find the curator down in the vehicles exhibit, just down that hallway to my left. I’d help you myself, but as you can clearly see…
He gestures down at his incorporeal projection.
MoltonMontro: Thanks!
Oyamat: Just watch for the claymore roombas…oh, nevermind.
Curtains close as the setpiece changes.
A bit shorter of a scene, but yes, the museum has claymore roombas. A novel idea from the head of security, a familiar face that you will all recognize…ah, that’s a spoiler. What kind of personality is this Pork character? Was he the supplier of the explosives that were used to blow into Nelson’s garage!
