Neil: Alright, here’s the deal!
Eve: It’s an astrological guide but it’s also a treasure map? Kind of… Heh… kind of thematically confusing.
Neil: But you can see here! My most secret ingredient! The reason my burgers are so special! The Ghost Moon Pepper. But someone has STOLEN them!
Eloise: (GASP)
Eve: Oh no, I wonder how anyone found the secret out.
Eloise: Shh… We’re missing the lore.
Neil: This rocket man didn’t always fly solo.
Neil: There were two of us!
Neil: I had a first mate! A coworker! A partner! A buddy! A friend who I trusted with all of my recipes and secrets.
Neil: But he ran out last night, taking the peppers with him!
Neil: And now you see me here: Robbed! Betrayed by my once dear friend.
Neil: He pilfered my precious pepper package just so that he could sell it to…
Neil: …competing family eateries!
Eloise: So you want us to get them back for you?
Neil: Yes! But that’s not all… Ghost Moon Peppers are extremely volatile. He may know the secret recipe, but he has no idea how to actually prepare it! Without proper handling, that cooler he took will blow!
Eve: Way I see it, the problem sorts itself out. He’s incinerated, whoever he sells them to is incinerated, we have one less food drug dealer in this country, crime drops-
Neil: Ah HAH! I found it!
(BONK)
Eve: Oh, it’s THIS guy?
Eve: I thought he was a pest animal.
Neil: Please. Find the peppers. Find my friend.
Eloise: We’ll do it!
Eloise: Right, Eve?
Neil: Bye! You have thirteen hours! I’m not rushing you, that’s when it’ll explode!
