Badass Dragon Scavengers of the Void - Round 7 - Contact

GOD, I hope I have these orders right.

Theodore “Gloopy Hands” Trump stops fiddling with the blue goo momentarily, and whispers at the nearest computer interface, his face twitching furiously. He pauses a few times, as if unsure about something, and if anyone is listening closely, they might hear among the whispered words, ‘FOR RUSSIA’. He pauses a moment more, and then adds a single short word, unheard, and goes back to his goop. His pants might be storing spare goo. They’re definitely full of something.

Computers. Always listening to what we say, instead of what we mean.

This is complicated. And I don’t think this is a dragon. I choose mission…uh…

Also, those caustic fumes aren’t coming from the unsettling pocket.

So, I’m going to take that bath after all.

Princess Dottie,

You are such a wonderful Digger. On Mission 5, which only diggers are allowed to go on,

  • you will get the best goodies bag
  • no eels, and therefore no eel kisses
  • you will mostly be outside, so everyone can see the Tiara on your helmet and KNOW you’re a princess
  • NO BATH
  • All the other Diggers are going.

I hope you’ll please go on Mission 5.

Your Friend,

Bbbbbut… what if I make that smelly old thing mad?

Maybe it’ll just be “excited”?

Remember, mad can mean “excited about” rather than “angry.”

Gosh this is all so complicated. Am I messing up mission four by picking that one?

Mission 4 is a fine choice, Dottie.

Many of us are going on Mission 4, where we all will be depending on Sweetness @penguinchris to protect us from the bad, mean, no-good dangerous salvage.

However, Mission 5 is special mission for special people. Special people just like you, Dottie. Diggers. Mission 5 takes almost none of your juice away, has GREAT salvage (48% chance for GOLD!) and very little no damage. Your 81 hp suit will stay looking Princess Fabulous!

The mystery is that 40% chance of “really pissing it off.”

I wanna go on the mission…

Please, please, please! I’ll be good. I’ll be very good. I’ll gather up all the colors and keep all those bitey eels away, and I’ll share my Legos with everyone, even the pink ones, and I won’t complain, even if the pocket is super stinky, and…
