You’ve never been one to avoid an opportunity to piss off Rodney, and all weird shit aside, today is no exception! Motioning the others towards the foul-smelling nest, you raise a finger to your lips and proceed closer!
“Aw man, <span class="mu-i">REALLY</span>, D?! C’MOOOON!”
There goes any element of surprise you had… with that advantage shattered into pieces like an old plate, you give your fellow pizza boy an irate eyeroll! Does he <span class="mu-i">not</span> see the gross nest right here?
“Oh I see it alright!” Counters your rival as his face scrunches up in exaggerated disgust, “And I smelled it a few rooms ago! You really wanna run into whatever made that!?”
Look, you huff, Pepper might be unhinged, you explain as the girl in question starts taking selfies with the bits of meat decorating the den, but she’s right–if this lab is somewhat blocked off that means something important and intact might be in there!
Rodney crosses his arms as a sour look forms on his face.
Alright, you shrug, he can go check out another lab on his own! Raj and Pep are coming, right guys?
“Yep!” Chirps Pepper like a dog about to go for a walk!
“Uh-huh!” Adds Raj with the usual enthusiasm!
“D’awww come OOON!” Rodney whines as the three of you put on your <span class="mu-s">GAS MASKS</span> before creeping through the mass of hair, meat, and other foul unidentifiable building blocks, “You’re… you’re gonna need me! I saved everyone from dat’ Aussie back there and… ah damn it, <span class="mu-i">WAIT FER’ ME!</span>”
Delving into the twisted beaver dam is about as pleasant as you’d expect–the gas masks do little to dull the scent of death around you. Even more unpleasant, however, is the thought of what made this thing… and is it still around?
“Doubt it.” Mutters Pepper as she keeps pace with your crawling. “Too small for the big guy and those bug things don’t like light…”
So what, you frown, is she thinking it’s the wolves?
“Hope so!” She replies as you continue to work your way through the nest, “I’ve had enough surprises for today, thanks!”
You and me both, you nod. Pushing away a chunkier pile of hair, you instinctively tumble backwards as a half-eaten skull falls in front of you!
