So we got to this big empty room, very suspicious if I do say so myself and Carter goes "It's quiet. Too quiet" like okay yeah thank you for your service.
"Doug!" some deep voice shouted from the ceiling.
Who??
"Ah perhaps you didn't get to that part of the slideshow. Not before that dog broke in."
"Owie, you plonker! Get off your speaker and get down here! Or are you too much of an airy-fairy to do it yourself?" Go off Carter I don't really know what's going on.
"There's no hope for you, mutt. But Deputy, how have you liked your new body? I'm sure you've found it easier to maneuver with time." Oh great now I'm part of the conversation
"Yeah truly awful. If you could turn off that weather machine and find a cure or meet us in person I'd totally appreciate that."
He let out a big sigh because like playing along with whatever Carter is saying is one thing, but I can't stand this guy!
"If only he hadn't gotten to you. I could've helped you, but it's out of my hands now." It sounded like the mic was put back in its place, and an awful, loud, metallic shifting sound started berating my ears. A hatch came out of the floor and ohirh jts a giant mech. He's in a mech and it's got guns and blades. I'm out. We done. Come on man.
"That's best you got mate?" Yeah I guess so Carter are you really that confident??
"If the hero of this civilization cannot understand my cause, he will die a pathetic death. Brutal and shameful. No martyrdom, just the disgusting beat down of a dog."
Instead of waiting to go do their weird banter any longer, Carter zipped across the room and started shooting at Owie. Here we go.
I start running and looking around the room. Its spacious with little cover in the middle, but along the sides there are some rooms and labs with no windows, which'll have to do for me. I've caused a few explosions in my line of work, and thats what I reckon I'll do. I hop over to a bench and just start mixing random flasks. Theres a bucket that says "HAZERDOUS", so I of course I gotta take a little bit of that. If I were a better detective maybe I could hack all these computers around me to do something but i dont got time for that!
"Why can't you just stay away from our town!? We never wanted anything to do with you!" Carter spoke mid laser so it came out really weird.
"Then what of the supporters I accrued? The lab, machinery, and progress wasn't just me. It was all of you, too! You wanted this!" yeah tell yourself that bozo ima pour acid on your head I SWEAR this guy is such a character.
Owie hit Carter into a wall, which didn't stop him but i was pretty surprised it even happened.
"I knew it was too good to be true. When I heard that animals were suddenly subscribing to this new ideology, it wasn't unity. It was just you! You barge in here, take everything, and just leave us with a piece of you to live with. Of course they ended up joining you, you stole everything!"
ok ok ow this is getting really heated i just wanna end this. Sodium hypochlorite? That sounds yummy. Potassium permanganate? fruity
I start getting really nervous because now my canister is shaking and bubbling. I think this is my chance now. I make another one of these because i feel really good about this decision i did it!
Carter seems to be tired, though im not really sure how it works. He hasn't commented on me running around at all, so either he must be really too exhausted to scold me, or he trusts that im doing the right thing.
"You dogs were stagnant. Living in the same routines, facing the same challenges. Aren't you tired? I get tired just looking at you." Owie is doing another one of his fun monologues with Carter. I step up the stairs to try and get a good angle on him, but this place is like a jungle gym.
"You cling to your canine identity like it's a badge of honor. You just don't want to feel like your struggle was for nothing all this time, I know. But I put in the work, and I found the way to fix you and catch you up with the rest of the world! Deputy Doge, don't you think this would make society, and you, substantially more proficient?"
He always chimes in to talk to me. As if he's looking for my approval. All in all, I can't wax philosophic like this, so maybe he's just taking advantage of me, or trying to use me to prove his point.
However,
i dropped the canister whoops
The container bounces off the steel beams, and I hope that this turns into a really sick trick shot.
"They all come around sooner or later. The ones who don't are dead, survival of the fittest, as we like to call it. But I chose to defy nature's law of 'survival of the fittest', and I've been punished for it. So please, don't let that unjust law take you too-"
BOOM$#*($&#
The canister landed right on the hood of the mech. So either, I messed up his mic system, or that really got to him.
Once the smoke cleared his mech was banged up. Carter hovered over and watched from afar. I could see Owie's face, burnt and wounded.
"I've been sitting around, and listening, and trying to understand what people are saying and where they're coming from, but really, I think it's most important I give my two cents by the end whether I feel confident or not."
Carter and Owie look up at me surprised that I'm finally participating.
"Owie, you're a total weirdo! I mean what the hell are you talking about 'fixing' living beings; you're a weirdo! You just hate all animals, which you should totally get checked out, I mean you could have checked in with a therapist before you jumped to world domination."
Carter chuckled a bit and smiled.
" If dogs wanted to go through this whole process of their own will then power to them! I don't care! But you're the worst. I don't care how amazing and intellectual and maneuverable your body is, we've managed, and we have lives outside of being stupid little stupid dogs like you think of us as."
It looks as if he's about to say something but I just don't want to hear it.
"You think you're making us better, guess again bozo! You're just messing with what makes us who we are. And ohh lookie here it might be hard to believe but... We like who we are! You don't, no you REALLY don't. I'm glad you had enough self love to assimilate a couple dozen civilizations tho. Thats an undervalued trait these days I think."
Now I can't tell if Carter is nodding or shaking his head. Lets wrap this up.
"Anyways, i think i might've left the lights on in my room, and that bill is gonna suck, so I'll see on the other side 'mate', uhh 'chap', 'bloke' my 'bloke' Owie." I drop the other canister back the same way. It does the same sick trick shot across the beams, and lands in the cockpit.
Hooboy
This was a long day. And we've still got a lot to sort out.
