From Crisis to Crisis to Dinner

Hey, SpaceHey friends! 🌟

Where we last left off, I was staring down a generator in the basement of AbadarCorp’s Golden Vault Neighborhood Bank. Using the ruse of a pet spaying campaign that AbadarCorp was sponsoring, we gained access to the bank’s secure floors. While the security person was checking my story, everyone else managed to go upstairs to where the vaults were located.

For me, it all began with a malfunctioning generator. I couldn’t find the off button, so naturally, I had to blow it up. 💥💣 Sometimes, you must take drastic measures! This was totally intentional and I didn’t just press random buttons until a countdown started and smoke poured out the side of the machine until fizzle pops happened. Nope, this was all planned out—hacker extreme over here. 💻💾💿

After my entirely planned generator shut down, it sounded like the whole building lost power. Hopefully, this helped out everyone upstairs on the 2^nd floor. 🤔The explosion did do a number on my upper left paw, it hurt pretty bad. Had some plastic shrapnel jabbed in it. 💔 My cute blood poured all over the floor and down onto my arm. 😭😿

As I was dealing with the aftermath, Kitara found me in the hallway, tears streaming down my face from the pain in my paw. She led me to the front hallway, where I showed her a threatening email from Arta, the leader of the Society of the New Born. 😱 Obvi, it had to be an attack on AbadarCorp by these new cult leaders! As AbadarCorp is a corp led by a religious order, they would be a target for an upcoming god’s new cult! This must be an inside job! 💢💣💥The cult terrorists could be anyone! 🤔👮

I told Kitara we needed first aid for my paw and to send all security to the front of the building to prevent a potential cult terrorist siege. Maybe the cult was behind this fake pet campaign 🐾 that she couldn’t find any info on, the whole reason I was in the building – the cult must have led me here to ambush me! (😎🤓) Kitara went to her office to call for help, but suddenly, all the doors opened! I knew danger was imminent. And I couldn’t let a fan down, so I pulled Kitara into the office and used my four hands to secure the door. 👐 No one is going to hurt my hoglettes. 🤩

I found out later that meanwhile, Beacon, Mas’Seef, and Remy were upstairs, dealing with lasers and robots. Beacon reached the vault doors but needed security codes. 💫💭 Or a lot of time to rip these safes off the walls. 💪 Remy was able to convert some of the lasers into friendlasers and the floors that were formerly electrified were electrofizzled due to some amazing hacking work by yours truly (🌟Totally intentional. 🌟) There was extreme drama in each swing of combat up there. The robot was healing itself and taking forever to defeat. Mas’Seef was struggling, once…twice…thrice…nineth times…Mas’Seef missed every hit on this robot. 💔 I heard this and immediately knew this must be some sort of residual effect from that mummy’s curse from the other day. 💡👻💀 Thankfully, Beacon saved the day by bouncing a rubber ball off the wall and into the robot’s head, knocking it offline. 🎯

Back downstairs, suddenly, the office door burst open, and Kitara shot Gavin, who turned out to be a cultist spy. 🔫 Obvi, who else would have been the spy if there were only two staff in the building and we knew Kitara is with me, so it HAD to be Gavin 💔 💥 (OMG SORRY GAVIN BUT IT HAD TO BE DONE) We ran to the safety of the front lobby. The front lobby offices had not had any security signal triggered, like none. Not even safety protocols. (Okay so even if Gavin might not be a cultist spy, he's pretty bad at his job. There was a power outage and possible fire in the basement, and not even a call to a fire department? 🚧🏗🦺 Really, Gavin? What were you even doing for that half hour? 🤔 👮)

Seeing that the lobby systems were not even operable, this was making Gavin look super sus. Kitara told me to lock myself in her office and she would look out for security coming to protect us from cult terrorists. 🔫 👮 I searched up into the offices, Gavin bloody and passed out in the hallway. I found some portable power banks and a few datapads. 📞📟 I hacked into their systems and used Gavin’s login and password ( it was “123” – not very secure! 💻) I tried to post as Gavin on the company intranet, pretending Kitara was the evil cultist, but no one believed me. 👯 I did a FaceTime call to Kitara, pretending Gavin woke up, and I knocked him out again. Thus protecting my timeline of events and how I never used any computer here ever. Totally clean. 🤭🙌

In the upstairs, Beacon, Mas’Seef, and Remy managed to get the robot’s giant gun and four of the six safes, taking three physical safes out of the wall. We ran out of the bank, meeting Kitara on the way out. I told her she did a great job for my research run, explaining it was all part of a movie project for next year. 😎 📚 She believed us and let us go. 🎬

We headed back to Nikk-Nakks, everyone but Beacon a bloody mess. 💀 Nikk-Nakk was thrilled with his safes, and we finally relaxed after such an exciting day. Mas’Seef tried to ask Nikk-Nakk out on a date, but he wasn’t interested. 😇 💗

We decided to head to Sunny 6’s for The Beacon, a BLT (Beacon’s Lentils on a Tortilla). 🍔🍹 Nikk-Nakk agreed to have a date with me while at Sunny’s for dinner. 💖 We parted ways after a lovely evening and headed to the Little Akiton Community Center.
