“Holy <span class="mu-i">COW,</span> it smells like a pig’s butthole warmed over in here!” Hisses Rodney as he and Raj fan the air with their <span class="mu-s">MINING HELMETS!</span>
Yea, you agree as you struggle to avoid dry-heaving, you were gonna say something like that!
The culprit, or culprit<span class="mu-i">s</span> lie ahead of you: arranged in a neat little circle around bits of cloth and fabric are <span class="mu-i">several</span> chunks of meat covered in flies and other creepy-crawlies… almost like it was something’s <span class="mu-i">DEN!</span>

Following your fellow pizza boy’s finger with your eyes leads you to <span class="mu-s">LAB B–</span>and you can kinda understand his apprehension! Globs of what you assume is spit and clumps of short, rigid hairs are caught in gossamer strings of what seem like webs… a feature <span class="mu-s">LAB A’S</span> entrance is lacking.
“My money’s on <span class="mu-s">LAB C</span> having the goods…” Observes Pepper with that journalistic glint returning to her eye, “But we oughta’ check ‘em all out just to be thorough, slick.”
We’re committing <span class="mu-s">CORPORATE ESPIONAGE,</span> not going <span class="mu-i">SHOPPING</span>, you counter! She has a bit of a point, though–you should choose something while you’re not being actively attacked…
Where to?
