You were sitting in your own work station, diligently filling up the lab reports with the data you acquired from previous research. While you were busy typing up the report, the room's door suddenly slid open, revealing Herta— not just her puppet, but the Herta herself.
“Busy, I see.” She commented.
You gave a small smile.
“Madame Herta, what brings you here?”
The genius walks over to you.
“I need you for something.”
She then leaned over to look at the lab report in your hands. Her eyes scanned over the various data and information that you've compiled.
“You're very efficient. I didn't expect anything less from you.”
She gives a small nod of approval before stepping back. Herta crosses her arms.
“I want you to come with me.”
Curiosity piqued, you give her a questioning look.
“Where are we going, madame?”
Herta doesn't answer your question. She just gestured for you to follow her. She starts to walk out of the lab, leaving you to quickly pick up all your things before chasing after her.
The two of you walked through the hallways of the space station. The occasional researcher would bow their heads and greet Herta as she passed by, but Herta paid them no mind.
You have a feeling that she's leading you somewhere more secluded.
And your hunch was correct. Herta brought you to a secluded room of the space station— one where she conducted her current experiments. This place is far from where the usual researchers and workers wander. The two of you are completely alone.
Herta walked over to the middle of the room and gestured for you to stand next to her.
“Come here.”
She has a serious expression on her face. It isn't often that you see her like this, well not privately.
You stood next to her without hesitation. You were used to obeying her commands.
Herta turned to face you.
“I wanted you to help me with something, Y/n.”
You were curious. Helping Herta with her experiments wasn't an unusual thing, but this didn't feel like one of those times.
“What do you need me to help with, madame Herta?”
“It's an experiment of a different kind.”
It was unusual to see her hesitate. She was always confident and sure.
“Yesterday, the Trailblazer that I was interested in studying came here to help with an experiment since you were not around. You could say that I gave her the privilege to become my assistant for that day, however, there has been an accident.”
Your eyebrows furrowed.
“An accident?” You repeated. “Is the Trailblazer okay?”
“Oh? Are you worried for her than you're worried for me?” Herta asked curiously.
You were a little taken aback by her question, though you supposed it was expected. You've known her long enough to know that she'll react that way.
“No, no, of course not. I'm just worried, is all, madame.”
She chuckled at your answer.
“Ah, how typical of you. The Trailblazer wasn't hurt nor was I. The only problem we encountered yesterday was that after the experiment, I tasked her to fetch the finished product of the glass of liquid that I conducted perfectly for me to drink.”
