Jack jumped a bit as Venomous fired at the vase, but was completely satisfied with the villain’s reaction. He had called the gun ‘impressive.’ Holding back his inevitable joy at the success of this exchange, Jack’s head tilted, a lopsided smile on his face as he laughed.
“HA HAH HAH–no DOUBT it works just as well on living things.”
..Which was why it took a huge, considerable amount of trust for Jack to deliver this gun in person, giving Venomous complete control over it while the two of them were in the same room.
Of course Jack was eager to follow the other, but didn’t want to impose. The Jackbot at his side was behaving, though, hovering almost silently, and so it probably couldn’t hurt just to stay a bit longer.
“OH! Do you have ch–” NOPE. Not a great impression to ask for that. “Oh uh, what I meant was, water is fine. And maybe some WD40 for my boy, here. He’ll drink it, trust me.” The Jackbot beeped and raised a clawed fist excitedly.

❝So be it. Fink, can you please fetch what was requested for our guests?❞
He asked politely to the mouse girl’s dismay. She grumbled and trotted off to the opposite direction. What could presumably be where the kitchen is located. Professor Venomous then motioned the other to follow him while placing arms behind his back.
The two walked down a narrow hallway with childishly drawn pictures of the purple-hued scientist and the minion, Jack had to unfortunately confront at the door, pinned to the walls. At the end of the hallway was a single door that had a worn-down caution sign on hanging. The scientist extended his hand forward and turned the doorknob to reveal what’s hiding behind it.
What was revealed was a lair like no other: almost like an indoor greenhouse. Professor Venomous had plants of many species along with small animals in their respective cages all along the walls. Towards the back of the laboratory were glass cylinders that held what seemed to be floating, shiny orbs. In front of the cases was a rather neat desk with engineering materials such as screws, computer chips, flasks, and so on. Of course, besides his desk was a small pet bed with the owner’s name ‘Fink’ and a couple of toys for her entertainment.
Occasionally as they walked, he had to step over a few blueprints he left laying on the floor as a reminder review them once more. Before speaking, he placed the gifted ray gun onto the closet surface. Better to not let that accidentally go off.
❝Excuse the disarray. I promise you there is order within this madness. Oh-- Here she comes with your refreshments.❞
Professor Venomous walked past his guest and bent over to help take the glass and can of WD40 from his organic minion. She then ran past her boss into the play area she made right next to his office chair. Typical of the girl to not want anything to do with others.
With Fink out of the way, he spun on his heel to face Jack. The bio-engineer placed the glass of water and can into his grasps with a slight grin.
❝Enjoy. Ah, while you two drink, I have a question for you to ponder on: what does the ray gun you crafted run on? Do you possibly use GLORBS for the source?❞
