Music for the picture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TENtIgLdigsOh no… this is like that ‘Trolley Problem’ thing! You <span class="mu-i">SUCK</span> at that game! Paralyzed with indecision, you’re thankfully relieved of higher thought when Tzah-Tzie’s survival instinct takes the lead for you!
“Wait a sec…” She mutters, pausing mid-scamper to take a whiff of your options, “Follow me!”
You’re not really inclined to argue, but you’ll admit you have your doubts as the Durher clambers over Tikko’s comatose form and squeezes past a crate behind him! “Yep!” She hisses in a triumphant tone, “Back here! There’s a way through!”
“Oough… bad time to have claustrophobia…” Groans Volka as her tail gently nudges you forward! Matching the route the Spinner took as best you can, you can’t help but be a little impressed when the path continues to delve deeper into the basement! Even your Skog pal manages to squeeze through, though not without pausing every few seconds to steady herself with some deep breaths.
Leaving the sound of heavy bootsteps far behind you, the passage eventually widens once more and deposits you in another T-Section of probable routes… but as you ponder which one to choose, you come to the same conclusion TT does based on how scrunched up her face is!
That… that <span class="mu-i">smell</span>, you remark, what <span class="mu-i">IS</span> that!?
“Old Vuukweed, Ripe Seafood…” The girl’s eyes narrow as she concludes her analysis. “... and that stuff coating the tunnel walls back at Mimut’s place…”
“They… you mean they’re <span class="mu-i">here</span>?” Stammers Volka, her eyes lighting up with glee! “Well what are we waiting for? Let’s go gettem!”
“Easy…” Warns Tzah-Tzie as she creeps ahead and motions for you to follow, “We’re not outta’ this yet…”
She ain’t wrong! Leading you through a set of swinging metal doors, the spring-footed Spinner sends a nod your way to signal the coast is clear… and then immediately starts looting.
Can’t fault her for being consistent… giving Volka’s tail a tap with your toe to get her attention, you and your partner head deeper into the warehouse in search of your quarry! Keep your nose at the ready, Volk!
“Right…” She responds with a decisive sniff! “And step light, yea?”
<span class="mu-i">Please</span>, you scoff, you’ve got a handle on this by n-<span class="mu-s">OW!</span>
<span class="mu-r">STUBBED TOE COUNTER: 19!</span>
