Wiping the fresh layer of sweat off your forehead, you roll up your sleeves and unzip your <span class="mu-s">TRENDY TRACKSUIT</span> and get to <span class="mu-s">SNOOPIN’!</span> It’s a long shot for sure, but if there’s even just <span class="mu-i">one</span> valve lying around here you can-
Oh wait, here’s one!
“GOT IT!” Reports Pepper as she pops out from behind the generator with a <span class="mu-s">VALVE</span> in her hands! “Here, come on over a-oh wow, found <span class="mu-i">another!</span>”
Wait, seriously? Making your way over to the redhead, you nearly trip on a piece of metal just lying in the middle of the chamber! Christ, is someone <span class="mu-i">trying</span> to make you fall into that pi-oh shit, it’s another <span class="mu-s">VALVE!</span>
“What was that!?” Hollers Pepper as she holds up another <span class="mu-s">VALVE</span>, “Got distracted by another <span class="mu-s">VALVE!</span>”
“<span class="mu-i">THERE</span> you jerks are!” Roars Rodney as he comes shuffling in from the power station dragging something behind him! “You’re stone cold, ya’ know that, D? An’ not in the cool way either! I coulda’ been picked off back there!”
And yet he <span class="mu-i">still</span> lives, you groan as you pick another <span class="mu-s">VALVE</span> off the floor. What’s that he’s dragging around behind him? His <span class="mu-i">ego</span>?
“Ha <span class="mu-i">ha</span>, you oughta’ do stand up…” Grumbles the delivery boy as he sets up shop next to the growing pile of <span class="mu-s">VALVES</span> you and Pepper have started. “I was busy lookin’ around an’ nearly got buried beneath these dang things–thought ya’ could use ‘em!”
Pouring a bag of <span class="mu-s">VALVES</span> onto the already sizable pile, Rodney puffs out his chest as Pepper studies the haul with a neutral expression. “Ya see that, red? These arms were made for carryin’ <span class="mu-i">PRINCESSES</span>, y’know!”
“My feet <span class="mu-i">are</span> starting to hurt a bit…” Muses the girl as she glances between you and Rodney. “But I think I’ll manage for now…” Peering in the direction of Raj’s light as it dances around the ceiling, Pepper climbs halfway up your <span class="mu-s">VALVE MOUNTAIN</span> and calls out to the skater!
“Raj,” she shouts, “We found some <span class="mu-s">VALVES!</span> C’mon back!”
“Un Momento, por favor!” He laughs from within a jungle of steam pipes! As he slowly makes his way back over, you and the others examine your hoard.
Still think it was sabotage? You ask as you shoot Pepper a skeptical glance. The girl shrugs.
“I can’t tell if we’re just <span class="mu-i">real</span> lucky or the saboteur was <span class="mu-i">really</span> lazy…”
