He stared at the key with curiosity, playing with it a little, the key was around medium size, like it was made for a dungeon of sorts, though the design seemed to have stated otherwise, considering it was a bright blue handle, a heart with small wave designs on the inside, with a bronze colored tip.

"Maybe it was used to store treasure." Kwazii stated out loud, and let out a sigh realizing he was alone,he was being left alone more often than he would have liked, but maybe it was just some sort of trick.

He went back to playing with the key, most if not all the doors never required a key to be opened, he would know, he was lieutenant, You were lieutenant.

Said a small, he shook his head, he didn't know who said it but he knew sure as the seas rough

waved he was still lieutenant.

You haven't been called in a while though, and Captain hasn't called you at all the last few days.

The others were busy, he knew that, and he wasn't the only one left alone, Tweak was here with him as well, so was he really alone if he had somebody else here with him?

He ignored the thoughts, staring at the key once again, he never had those thoughts before.

Am I being replaced?

He wasn't, if he was they would've told him wouldn't they?

"Kwazii, Kwazii, earth to Kwazii." He looked up to see Tweak waving a wrench at him, "I was asking you to hand me the wrench, you seemed in your own world right then."

He froze up, realizing where he was standing, it wasn't in his room, but rather with Tweak fixing one of the gups, Shellington had taken Gup-A out, he didn't think to tell anybody at the time, something about 'Documenting a new species' or whatever, not long after the alarm was set off and the majority had gone out to perform a rescue, Tweak and him both staying, one to repair a gup and the other involuntarily.

"Yea, Yea sorry matey." He stated, casually hiding the key at his side hoping by some miracle she hadn't caught sight of it, he didn't know why he didn't want her to see it, maybe it was a subconscious thing.

"Don't do it again, what if something happened?" Tweak questioned heading back to Gup-A, "What if a beam fell and you were off in your daydream?"

"I get it matey, I won't do it again." Kwazii stated, picking up some tools and heading over to the Gup-A with Tweak, "How bad is it?"

"Not as bad as it usually is." Tweak responded, taking out a flat-headed screwdriver, and taking off some bolts, "Do you plan on keeping that a secret from Captain?"

"No." Kwazii said, like a liar, "I was planning on telling him when He and the others got back." He finished, before looking anywhere but the green rabbit.

"You're a bad liar Kwazii." Tweak stated turning to the orange cat, "If you're gonna lie at least make it not obvious, and have a reason for doing it." She continued looking at Kwazii, "It's just a key, sure it looks decorative, but what would it be able to do? Is it useful, for all we know it's just something to look cool." She finished, as the orange cat looked away.

"I wasn't planning on telling em." Kwazii admitted, showing her the key he found, "I wasn't planning on showing them it either, I don't know why matey, I guess it's a pirate instinct?" He joked about the last part, handing her the key explaining that he had no idea what it would do.

The two had somehow ended up walking, still talking about the key.

"I found it in one of the Gups." Kwazii chimed in, though listening to Tweak's talk of what kind of the lock that key would have to open, "Can't remember which though matey, guess me memory is having trouble." He stated, before freezing up, and looking around, one look from Tweak told him she had seemingly felt it too, they didn't know what but they felt it.

Tweak looked around as well, before her eyes landed on the wall, close to the bottom was a small key hole, one would've missed if they were in a rush or didn't bother looking around, maybe that's why it looked unfamiliar despite it feeling like it had always been there.

She looked at the key, and then back at Kwazii, who seemed to know what she was thinking, and looking at the keyhole.

"You think it's treasure?" He questioned the rabbit, as she got on her knees and held the key up.

"Ready? Cause we don't know where this leads, and who knows when the others will be back." Tweak stated, holding the key close to the hole.

"Ready as I'll ever be matey." Kwazii responded.

Tweak turned the key.
