The next day, Robyn invited me to the local library. When I arrived, she was already there, playing chess with some other scientist.
Scientist: "Well hello. You must be Skeilah. Robyn told me a lot about you."
Me: "She did?"
Scientist: "Yeah, we're childhood friends, so once in a while we meet to talk about things. The past few days, you've been everything Robyn talks about. You must be awesome."
Robyn: "Oh no, don't say that. You make me blush!"
Scientist: "I heard from my colleague yesterday that you tried asking her for help? What was it about?"
Me: "Oh well... I think you already know this but... I want to save the city, but to do so, I need t know how the chemical analyzer in the secret lab works."
Scientist: "The chemical analyzer, you say? And for what would you need it?"
I take a little box with all my collected Spores out of my back pocket.
Me: "Well, I want to analyze these things... I just want to know more about them."
Scientist: "I see. What if I gave you the instructions to analyze the Spores?"
Me: "... You would do that?!"
Scientist: "As a friend of Robyn, I can't stand seeing friends of her being sad. Especially not when they try to save the town. I can't go with you to give you the instructions, because my job would be in danger, but I can give you this. Please keep them secret."
The scientist hands me some papers. Instructions!
Me: "How can I ever repay you...?"
Scientist: "By saving the town. I hope that I made the right decision. Don't let me down Skeilah... And Robyn."
He looks at the both of us as if he knows that we're working on this together, and then he walks out of the library.
Me: "Robyn... He really gave me...."
Robyn: "As a military I have my connections, hough it helped me a lot to have one of the best local scientists as my childhood friend."
We laugh together. Really, I didn't see this plottwist coming.
Me: "I'd like to laugh a. little more, but... I have some Spores to analyze."
Robyn: "Good luck, Skeilah. I'm counting on you."
Scientist: "Well hello. You must be Skeilah. Robyn told me a lot about you."
Me: "She did?"
Scientist: "Yeah, we're childhood friends, so once in a while we meet to talk about things. The past few days, you've been everything Robyn talks about. You must be awesome."
Robyn: "Oh no, don't say that. You make me blush!"

Robyn: "Good luck, Skeilah. I'm counting on you."
Me: "Ahh, back at least. Now I only need to follow these instructions to get to the right place and the next instructions to analyze the Spores..."
Me: "Oh, so I just made a wrong turn the first time I got here.... So stupid of me. Well, at least I'm here now!"
- Some time later -
- Some time later -
Me: "Finally, I analyzed every Spore I had with me! Oh, a pop-up. Do you want to print a report? Oh, of course I want to print a report! I can put this file on Robyn's website!"
Once I got home again, I started to make myself some food. I'm starving!
- DING DONG -
Me: "Who could that be? Robyn maybe?"
- DING DONG -
Me: "Who could that be? Robyn maybe?"
I open the door and some steps away I see... Kimberly?!
Kimberly: "Ehm. Hi."
Me: "Hi...?"
Kimberly: "I... Just wanted to say that I'm sorry for what happened yesterday. I know that you went to the lab to analyze Spores, and I'm actually surprised. You found so many on your own. You know, I was in charge for Spore analyzing right before the lab shut down, but I didn't manage to analyze enough. I... Just couldn't find them. I guess I was a little jealous of you, but I should've known better."
Me: "I... Don't know what to answer on that."
Kimberly: "You don't have to. It's stupid anyways., You're admired by the whole town, even you're only 5 days here. I wished I could do something like that... Saving the town like you're doing..."
Me: "You... Still can help, if you want?"
Kimberly: "I... I can?"
Me: "Yeah! You work in the lab, right? Maybe you can answer this question for me, if you like. I accidentally went through some blue clouds.. But right before feeling unwell, I saw a door... Do you know what's behind it?"
Kimberly: "I know exactly which door you mean. That cloud has been there for months and you can't go through the door without a Hazmat Suit. I actually worked behind that door, so for the last few weeks I've been working in a Hazmat Suit constantly."
Me: "You've been working behind that door? In a... Hazmat suit? You mean, I could get through the clouds and open that door?"
Kimberly: "That's right. I.... You can have my suit if you want... But... Do you want to give me a copy of your Spore analyzing report in return? I can continue my job from home and you... Can go on saving the world."
Me: "You really mean that?"
Kimberly: "I don't like to admit it... But this town is in serious trouble, and I've seen that you're more capable to save us than all of us scientists together."
Kimberly: "Ehm. Hi."
Me: "Hi...?"
Kimberly: "I... Just wanted to say that I'm sorry for what happened yesterday. I know that you went to the lab to analyze Spores, and I'm actually surprised. You found so many on your own. You know, I was in charge for Spore analyzing right before the lab shut down, but I didn't manage to analyze enough. I... Just couldn't find them.

Kimberly: "I don't like to admit it... But this town is in serious trouble, and I've seen that you're more capable to save us than all of us scientists together."
Me: "You have absolutely no idea how happy you just made me! Kimberly, I won't let you or the other scientists down!"
Kimberly: "You better keep that promise, haha."
Me: "I'll do my best. Thank you, Kimberly! You're a great friend!"
Kimberly: "Hehe.. Friend. I'm just doing my job, you know. But it's nice to be called a friend once in a while..."
Kimberly: "You better keep that promise, haha."
Me: "I'll do my best. Thank you, Kimberly! You're a great friend!"
Kimberly: "Hehe.. Friend. I'm just doing my job, you know. But it's nice to be called a friend once in a while..."
And so I went to the secret lab with Kimberly's Hazmat Suit. Kimberly repaired it for me. She's actually a really nice person.
Me: "Oh my... I'm a little nervous."
Me: "Oh my... I'm a little nervous."
Me: "The moment of truth..."
Me: "... I'm... I'm not feeling dizzy! I made it! Good job, Kimberly. Your suit works perfectly. Thank you. So... Let me see where you were working all these weeks..."
Me: "Whoa. What happened here? It looks like this room wasn't used for eternities with all these flowers on the wall..."
I walk around the corner and notice another door.
Me: "Those flowers came from that door?"
I walk around the corner and notice another door.
Me: "Those flowers came from that door?"
Me: "That's..... Mother?"
