and with a bubble comes a plan

[lamufao]

[The video pops on this fine day to show Alpha, sitting in his office as per usual but looking... less grumpy than usual?

Or the same amount of grumpiness.

Perhaps a mild grump instead of extra spicy.]

Oi! Assholes! Listen up.

[a considering look before--]I need you to build me something. There's enough tools and materials in that damn bubble

Some are capable swimmers. Why not simply swim to the surface?

[lamufao]

[PFFT LAUGHING AT YOU]

No. Don't care if you don't need to breathe air, there's certain things that require a certain set of steps to follow first.

[shounenphelps]

Perhaps you could clarify your meaning?

[lamufao]

Build an elevator, you get to the surface. Simple as. No swimming.

[toomanypetals]

...An elevator?

[Whoa. Now that's ambitious.]

Tch. I can help with the construction part.

[lamufao]

Good, you never seemed smart enough for the actual technology part anyway.

[toomanypetals]

Shut up. I'm smart enough, but you want a damn inventor or something, not a soldier.

[B( He's not stupid, let him prove it to you.]

[lamufao]

Yes, I want an inventor and you are not one.

[nope, everyone's dumb, let him show you the ways]

[meddlefussyfang]

You're looking for... architects?

[lamufao]

No, anyone can build something. I need someone to make it work -- the technology part.

[meddlefussyfang]

I see. Well, there's a few people around who are good with technology. I'm not sure if any of them have built elevators specifically.

...If you know about reaching the surface around here, do you know if there's land at all near the surface?

[lamufao]

Do you really think I'm stupid enough to send everyone up there if there wasn't any land?

[threepatchman]

And what, exactly, do we get in return, should we do so?

[lamufao]

Uhh, out of the bubble and onto the surface, duh?

[threepatchman]

Would you really take the residents with you?

[lamufao]

You're new, aren't you, Mister Holmes?

[grrriiiiiinnn]

I'm a fair man, I assure you.

[prominence_glow]

...You're messing with us again, aren't you.

[lamufao]

Nah, got bored of that like, three weeks ago.

[prominence_glow]

So what's your new favorite hobby? Weird random requests? Wait, that's normal.

[lamufao]

Because of that, you don't get on the first ride.
