Bronya

Start

Einstein

Let me see… Which way leads us to Dr. Tesla…

🔇 N/A

Einstein

Should be this direction. The locator's giving strong signals.

🔇 N/A

Einstein gave a few knocks on the steel wall.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

I see. There's space behind this wall.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

But, Dr. Einstein, the road was blocked.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Ugh, great. I shouldn't have bombed the passages to get rid of those mecha guards. Now we're trapped here.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

Don't worry, Miss Murata. This is also part of the plan.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

Now we only need to blow up this wall, then there will be a new road ahead.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

…

🔇 N/A

Einstein

Everyone ready? On the count of three — 3, 2, 1!

🔇 N/A

With a deafening boom, the metal wall collapsed.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

I knew it. There's a passage behind this wall.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Are you sure what we did was fine? We blew up or damaged almost everything we saw on the way…

🔇 N/A

Einstein

It's okay. Dr. Tesla used to make much louder noises when she blew up her lab. I'm sure she wouldn't mind this.

🔇 N/A

< Screen goes black. >

Einstein

Watch your steps. Dr. Tesla should be nearby.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

It's so dark in here.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

Maybe she didn't turn on the light to save electricity.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Uh, there's something on the wall that feels like a switch.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

My experience tells me it's better to not touch it.

🔇 N/A

The three girls were still groping through the darkness when a ray of light shot from a crack. A steel door slowly opened and a flustered voice came out—

🔇 N/A

???

Uhhh, they are already here? Where should I put the sample… Okay this will do —

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Welcome, my first customer! What can I get you? Fireworks? Firecrackers? Or something spicier? Whatever you want, I…

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Mo-Mophead?! Why are you here? And why did you bring two Schicksal girls?

🔇 N/A

Himeko

…

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

…

🔇 N/A

Einstein

Ahem… It's been a while, Dr. Tesla.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

I see you are shocked to see me. Should I assume that your repayment plan has failed?

🔇 N/A

Tesla

O-Of course not! I'm only one step away from success!

🔇 N/A

Einstein

That's just a euphemistic expression for failure.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

Anyway, are you trying to use those bombs to pay off the debts?

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Bombs? No! Those babies are my newest invention — Tesla's Jumbo Fireworks!

🔇 N/A

Tesla

See, it's almost the Shenzhou Spring Revel, which means fireworks and firecrackers will be in high demand.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Um, but…

🔇 N/A

Tesla

But! Only the genius Dr. Tesla seized this business opportunity!

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Now that I've successfully made a kind of fireworks with the strongest explosive power and a widest blast radius, I'll definitely have a 100% market share!—

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

You seem to have a misunderstanding of fireworks, Dr. Tesla.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Are you questioning this genius? Nobody knows fireworks like I do! Fireworks are supposed to make thunderous explosions!

🔇 N/A

Tesla

I've already posted my ad on all social media. All I need to do now is wait for countless orders to come!

🔇 N/A

Tesla

You just watch, mophead. This genius's phone will be ringing like crazy in a minute!

🔇 N/A

Tesla

And then we'll be able to pay off our debts and become rich and famous! I might even be the protagonist of the next event!

🔇 N/A

Einstein

That would be nice, Dr. Tesla.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

But, if I may point this out — we've been standing here for at least ten minutes, yet no one called.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Huh? Uh, that's true... Wait, no! They must've placed orders online! Let me see…

🔇 N/A

Tesla

…

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

Dr. Tesla has been awfully quiet for a minute. Is she okay?

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Maybe she is busy checking so many orders?

🔇 N/A

Einstein

Please wear these earplugs, ladies.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

Hmm? Why?

🔇 N/A

Einstein

You will know why very soon.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

WHAT?!

🔇 N/A

Tesla

NOOOO! THIS ISN'T TRUE!!!

🔇 N/A

Einstein

"Fireworks banned in all cities for safety reasons. Offenders will be liable to a heavy fine." Now we know the reason for Dr. Tesla's breakdown.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

My research grant… my savings… and my dream of becoming the protagonist… all went down the drain!

🔇 N/A

Einstein

Actually, the last one was never a possibility anyway.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Uh-uh! It's totally possible! Haven't you noticed that I already had at least ten lines until now?

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Anyway… my dream has been ruthlessly shattered… Okay then…

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Oh, no! Dr. Tesla pulled out something that looks extremely dangerous!

🔇 N/A

Einstein

I presume Dr. Tesla has named it "Tesla's Extra-Jumbo Firework". I've observed some of her patterns.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Pff, that'd be a pretty uncreative name. I gave it a much cooler name — Tesla's Extra—Jumbo Ultimate Firecracker!

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Is there really any difference... And is this really a good time arguing over the name?

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Oh, yeah. Everything is pointless to me now… What is life… Maybe I should set off all my inventory and watch a final grand fireworks show…

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Holy… Do something, Dr. Einstein!

🔇 N/A

Einstein

Um, calm down, Dr. Tesla. Before you do anything crazy, please listen to me…

🔇 N/A

Einstein

I understand your frustration, but setting off all the fireworks would make no compensation for our loss.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Calm down? How?! I've burned all my bridges, mophead!!!

🔇 N/A

Einstein

I know, I know. Put the fireworks down, and we'll work out a way to pull it through — I can lend you some of my savings. Only 30% interest rate.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Hey! That's total rip-off! And it's not gonna help…

🔇 N/A

Einstein

Dr. Tesla, please accept my financial aid. I'm always ready to contribute to the exploration of science.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

No, I mean you don't have as much money in your savings account as you think…

🔇 N/A

Einstein

…?

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Well, it's pointless to keep it a secret at the moment anyway — I've been using your card to buy all these machines and raw materials…

🔇 N/A

Tesla

I know I spent a lot of money on this… But in my defence, I did it for us.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

Is this why you've been blocking my calls?

🔇 N/A

Tesla

That's not important now that we're both screwed. The bank will probably repo our labs tomorrow…

🔇 N/A

Tesla

I'll let you light this Tesla's Extra-Jumbo Ultimate Firecracker as a thank-you for your money. It's exceptionally loud and destructive — my brilliant design.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

…

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

Now, Dr. Einstein! Slowly approach her and snatch the firecracker…

🔇 N/A

Einstein

…

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

Dr. Einstein…?

🔇 N/A

Einstein seemed to be lost in thought staring at the firecracker and didn't hear a word.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

You're right. We can't afford to blow up this plant.

🔇 N/A

Einstein picked up a huge firecracker.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

And it's not like we don't have any other way to turn things around. For example, we can turn these firecrackers into red buttons…

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Red button? What's that? Some kind of toy for kids?

🔇 N/A

Einstein

Of course not. It's a handy little tool that only needs a single push to solve any problems.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

That sounds even more dangerous than giant firecrackers!

🔇 N/A

Einstein

I mean no harm. I'm just a simple scientist who's trying to help her colleague and herself.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

Let's start the experiment, Dr. Tesla.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

We have to stop them. Or we will disappear along with the entire island.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Humph, stop us? You wish!

🔇 N/A

Tesla

See this machine here? It can literally produce anything so long as I input the design sketch.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

You don't stand a chance!

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Are you sure they are properly tied up, Hua? Maybe we should get more ropes… Can't risk letting them get away and make more dangerous stuff.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

Don't worry, Miss Himeko. I'm sure they are properly tied up.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Hey, I said I'll close the plant! Why didn't you girls believe me? Everybody knows Dr. Tesla is a woman of her word!

🔇 N/A

Tesla

And we are renowned scientists, not criminals! You can't do this to us! I'll sue your…

🔇 N/A

Einstein

Can you tie me somewhere else? Like, away from Dr. Tesla? She's too loud.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

Sorry, we don't have enough ropes to tie you two separately.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Ugh, now we're really screwed, and broke.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Mophead, I say we pack our stuff, find a busy street and be buskers. I kinda feel I'd make good money doing stand-up comedy.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

Excuse me for being a buzzkill, Dr. Tesla, but I think you wouldn't make as much money as you think.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Ugh, I should've stuck to making superior weaponry…At least I get to keep them for my own use if the business failed. Now I only got these useless fireworks…

🔇 N/A

Einstein

You can still use them to put on a useless fireworks show on this island, Dr. Tesla.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

Sorry to interrupt, but I just had an idea that might help you unload these fireworks and firecrackers.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

All they need is just a little makeover…

🔇 N/A

Screen momentarily fades to black.

🔇 N/A

Moments later

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Stuck a pair of bunny ears on top and painted it yellow, and people will pay for this? Are you messing with this genius?

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

Relax, Dr. Tesla. This will work. Miss Himeko, how is the video chat going?

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Still on hold... Uh, Bronya finally picked up.

🔇 N/A

Bronya

Hello, Miss Himeko.

🔇 N/A

Bronya

Ah. is that a HOMU behind Hua?

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Yeah. There's a batch of HOMU-themed fireworks on sale here on the island. Do you want me to bring some?

🔇 N/A

Bronya

Yes, please. Bronya will take them all. Project Bunny needs ammunition.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

…

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Thank you, Miss! You just saved mophead and I from the wandering busker life! Yay!

🔇 N/A

Einstein

I never agreed to that, Dr. Tesla.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Heh, these two… Bronya, where are you and Seele?

🔇 N/A

Himeko

We're in trouble here and need your help.

🔇 N/A

Bronya

What did you say, Miss Himeko? You're breaking up… Seele and… Bronya…

🔇 N/A

BAM!

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

What was that…?

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Aw, I got disconnected.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Yeah, reception is never good here. But it could also be an interference. Better go out and check.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Huh? What happened to the sky…

🔇 N/A

Einstein

Dr. Tesla, you didn't light something dangerous, did you?

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Of course I didn't! And why am I your first suspect? That's not nice!

🔇 N/A

Himeko

Even if she did, fireworks wouldn't have made the sky look like this.

🔇 N/A

Fu Hua

The lightning doesn't look far. Let's go check out.

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Wait! At least untie us before you leave!

🔇 N/A

Tesla

Get back here! Hey!!!

🔇 N/A
