>>5734773“Heh! Good luck followin’ us without <span class="mu-i">wheels</span>, ya damn jabronis!” Croons Rodney as he slumps against the inside of the minecart as if it was an easy chair, “Piece a’ pie, right, guys?”
You answer him with your usual frown. Quit tempting fate, moron.
“Quit bein’ a baby, D!” Counters Rodney as he dodges you attempt to flick his forehead, “We’re on a cart… just gotta sit back an’ enjoy da’ ride!”
“Yea, about that…” Mutters Pepper as she points forward, “Duck!”
“Where?!” Sputters Raj as he scans the side of the tunnel! Pulling him down, you and the rest of your buddies barely limbo below a low-hanging wooden barricade with the words ‘<span class="mu-s">DANGER: CONDEMNED</span>’ hastily stenciled on it!
Sitting back up with a much higher heart rate, your pulse goes even <span class="mu-i">HIGHER</span> when you feel Pepper scoot back and lean against you! Err, Pep, you stammer, white-knuckling the cart as it continues on a downward spiral deeper into the Earth, what’s the occasion?
“<span class="mu-i">Remember that whole water thing I told you about earlier?</span>” She whispers as she looks back at you with growing fear in her eyes!
Yea…
“<span class="mu-i">I just remembered the lower levels are… flooded.</span>”
Ah.
“<span class="mu-i">A-and if there’s w-water down here,</span>” She stammers as the four of you duck under another barricade…
She’s gonna need you to support her, you nod, gotcha!
“<span class="mu-i">NO, sandcrab! I’ll need you to SAVE MY ASS if I FREEZE UP!</span>” Hisses the girl as she elbows your side! “<span class="mu-i">Don’t get distracted!</span>”
Harder than it looks, you mutter as she practically sits in your lap! <span class="mu-i">Damn it…</span>
Biting your lip, you feel a little relief when the cart reaches the bottom of the spiraling track without tipping over! But as the tunnel straightens out again, you feel your anxiety return as you approach a <span class="mu-s">SPLIT IN THE TRACKS!</span>
The track you’re on leads towards a tunnel stenciled with the words ‘<span class="mu-s">WARNING: DEMOLITION IN PROGRESS</span>’! Before you can guess what kind, your answer comes in the form of a rotten crate filled with old sticks of <span class="mu-s">DYNAMITE</span> poking out!
The other track, however, appears to slope downwards with no foreboding warnings or exposed explosives!
The question is, how are you gonna hit that damn <span class="mu-s">TRACK SWITCH</span>?
“I got <span class="mu-i">LOTSA</span> <span class="mu-s">ROCKS</span> in here, D!” Reports Rodney as he picks up a handful of <span class="mu-s">ROCKS</span> from the bottom of the cart! “You wanna show us yer’ pitchin’ skills?!”
Which way do you go!?
>STAY ON COURSE TO THE DEMOLITION AREA!>CHANGE TO THE DOWNWARD SLOPE!
