Ans for those who hadn't read my latest story, "The Reverse World" yet, here's the susunod part of my current story!
Chapter 5: Penguins always have a plan!
(back in the ibong dagat HQ)
SK: Lunchtime, everyone! You're free to do whatever you want, as long as it doesn't involve permanent injuries, deaths, mutations, et cetera. That means you, Kowalski and Rico.
SH: Great, now's our chance! Into the lab!
(Kowalski, Private and sherry all go into Kowalski’s lab)
PR(Kowalski): Wow, I didn't even need an excuse!
KW(Private): He wasn't even looking, Kowalski.
SH: Let's take a look at the machine... Wow, it looks really blown up. How much time do we have, Kowalski?
PR(Kowalski): Argh... I forgot I don't have all my stuff with me now. Private, could I have my abacus?
KW(Private): What's an abacus?
PR(Kowalski): (sighs) That wooden frame with all those beads on it!
KW(Private): Oh, that thing. (pulls it out)
PR(Kowalski) : I'd put our available time at... (does some calculations) Half an hour.
KW(Private): How are we to fix this... (points at blown-up machine) … in half an hour?
SH: We'll just have to do the best we can. Private, could you pass me the screwdriver?
(15 minutos later)
PR(Kowalski): It's looking rather good...
SH: (sarcastically) Yeah, of course. It would have looked much better if you hadn't taken your wrench and banged on it just now.
PR(Kowalski): Or if you hadn't messed up the polarity of those two wires...
KW(Private): (comes in holding fish) Hey, I got you snacks!
Both: Thanks, Private! (eat fish)
SH: I was just wondering... Why did your Cerebral-Switcher blow up every time?
PR(Kowalski): No idea... It might have been a blown fuse... Or a mistake in my calculations, or...
SH: Or you banged on it with a wrench while you were at it?
PR(Kowalski): Zip it! What part of “zip” or “it” eludes you?
KW(Private): Why don't you just take a look at your blueprints, whatever they are, and see if there's anything wrong?
PR(Kowalski): Private, that's brilliant! (Pulls down a blueprint from a wall) Yes... It's missing something that stops it from exploding and that causes it to, well, explode every time. It's missing this wire over... Um, let me find it... Here! (points at a tiny wire in the blueprint)
SH: Well, it's just a tiny wire. So what?
PR(Kowalski): But it's made of a rare material I don't have! We'll need to go to that lab we raided to get mogothium 2-39 from to get some.
KW(Private): But how? Skipper's bound to notice if three of us were to leave the HQ for a long time!
PR(Kowalski): Who ever sinabi we had to go in the day? We could go at night!
SH: That'll mean extra trouble for us, considering we'll also have to find a way to get past security.
KW(Private): Not to mention how to get there...
PR(Kowalski): I get it, I get it!
SK(In background): Lunchtime's almost over! Gather outside in five minutes!
KW(Private): (shouts) Ok, Skipper, we will!
PR(Kowalski): So... Now we have a plan?
SH: Deal. We ilipat after lights-out protocol.
KW(Private): The last time I did that...
SH: I know, I know. That was when you used to watch Shakespeare in the park, Private. You're about to say you got pretend stabbed.
KW(Private): Point taken.
