You might be in a hurry, but it’s raining cats, dogs, cows, orangutans, komodo dragons, and a whole Ark’s-worth of animals around you right now–not exactly beach weather!
Pointing towards the faint outline of rebar reaching towards the stormy sky, you tell Chuck to take you over to the club… you could use a refreshment or two before hitting the course!
“It’s not built yet, though, dude.” Raj helpfully reminds you. You <span class="mu-i">know</span>, you groan, unable to really get mad at your friend given all that’s happened, but hiding a secret lab under recent construction isn’t exactly out of the question, is it?
“Not in the least, chief!” Agrees Pepper as Chuck shrugs before ferrying you towards your destination, “For example: didja’ know that <span class="mu-s">GREENRIDGE PARK</span> is built on <span class="mu-s">ANCIENT RUINS!?</span> It’s true!”
Sure, you scoff, and City Hall’s built on top of a colony of <span class="mu-s">FISH PEOPLE</span>, right? Pepper’s eyes go wide at your flippant ‘<span class="mu-i">revelation</span>’.
“W-wait, <span class="mu-i">REALLY?</span>”
You answer her with a gentle, but still pointed flick to the forehead! If she survives this only to become a friggin’ <span class="mu-i">TABLOID JOURNALIST-</span>
“Hey, if it’s the truth then it’s the <span class="mu-i">TRUTH!</span>” She counters in a haughty voice as she rubs where you flicked her! “You were preaching the same crap earlier about Hauser… betcha’ feel dumb <span class="mu-i">now</span>, huh, slick?”
You’ll be happy to take the loss on that one, you begrudgingly reply, but-
“Put your marital quarrel on the backburner for a sec–we’re here…”
Heeding Chuck’s warning, you peek outside of the APC at the <span class="mu-s">CONSTRUCTION SITE!</span> A maze of metal beams, derelict excavator vehicles and tarp-covered construction materials, the only thing that rattles you more than all the potential hidey-holes is the fact that the center of the site is completely <span class="mu-i">FLOODED</span>, much to your red-headed companions’ chagrin!
“C’mon,” Grunts Chuck as he kicks open the door with his <span class="mu-s">HUNTING RIFLE</span> in hand, “Got a bad feelin’ about this place…”
“At least it’s only one floor!” Chirps Raj as he puts his hood over his head and joins him!
If that convinces the groundskeeper, he doesn’t show it. Giving Pepper’s trembling form a sympathetic glance, you know that this might just be where the <span class="mu-s">LAB</span> is… which means you’ve gotta search it and <span class="mu-i">FAST!</span>
