Meep Team Stories 1 S1

"A visit to the HRL" is the first Meep Team Stories Thread in the series, it was also the only one to not have a recap.

#### **Meep Team Stories #2 Recap:**

Arya had invited us to visit the Happiness Research Lab, Alterna's sixth Site, which was being rebuilt by her and I.

But with a massive lore drop of how Arya's mother founded that very Site, some of us felt curious as to what she was like, but were more than 12,000 years late to meet her and talk with her.

Until we decided to create our very own time machine. We have one month to not only finish rebuilding the HRL, but also help Arya with her studies and equations for this invention, and with whatever else is needed, such as materials and resources.

## Chat Log

CaleBoi25: \*arrives\*

Um, hi! Arya, I promise I come in peace I just want to help you plan for the future. PLEASE DONT SEND ORCA AFTER ME PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HAVE MERCY

Arya: I already know you have no bad intentions. Based on the previous times you have been here, you have every reason to be trusted.

Voppi: Yeah! Why wouldn't you be? And, besides, even if there WAS a reason, which there isn't, it's not like Arya can activate the paralyzing light outside the test chambers!

\**Voppi and Arya look at each other*\*

Voppi: ...You can't, right?

Arya: \**Snaps her fingers*\* Never underestimate my abilities.

Voppi: OH COME ON, ARYA- \**falls to the floor, unable to move due to the light's effects*\*

Arya: She will recover in a minute, do not worry. Anywho, would you like to see the inside of the Site?

CaleBoi25: Um… sure! Whatever you want me to do is fine in fact!

Arya: Alright, then, let's go.

\**Arya opens the entrance of the pipeline that connects Site 5 to Site 6. She takes out the filter and pushes herself inside. Everyone on the Meep Team follows her immediately after, including Voppi, who just regained control over her body*\*

Arya: Here we are. This is what Voppi and I have rebuilt so far of the Happiness Research Lab.

Voppi: I'd say we did a pretty good job! Most of the important buildings are already restored, including THAT humongous one in the center, so the hard part is done! Hey, did you know that Arya's studio is in that building?

Arya: Technically, it is not my studio. It is the room where my parents used to work. They also participated in the rocket project at the ASC, but that project was short-lived... Unfortunately.

Voppi: \**Looks at Arya and realizes she might have an emotion overload if we don't change topics soon*\* Hey Meep Team, wanna know a little fun fact about this Site's founding?

CaleBoi25: Trivia? YES PLEASE!

RealDudez: Hey guys! Im here!

Voppi: Alright! Great! it's good to see you here! Now where were we... Ah! Right! the HRL's founding! Well, see this hand print on the floor at the entrance of the Site? These are scattered all across the six Sites. They all have different signatures on top of them, and they must've belonged to who created/founded them. What's that so special, you may ask? Well, the one in Site 6 has a signature I recall seeing before. it has the letter C stylized for the entire name to fit in it, and what could be the letter E or B right next to it.

Arya: I understood you were going to change topics, Voppi.

Voppi: I AM changing topics! I'm refusing to talk about how you ended up as the sole survivor of Alterna, and instead focusing on how your mother created one of the most prestigious buildings in it!

Arya: ...That is different enough. Please, continue.

Voppi: \*Sighs\* I guess I just told you, didn't I? That signature belongs to Arya's mother, Claire Brighton. Not only was she one of- if not the most advanced scientist in Alterna, but she founded a Site all by herself! And THAT's why we're restoring it! Well, that and to make Alterna easier to travel. You have NO IDEA how many Ride Rails we had to set up when this was all flooded!

ArtisticAspect: \*Falls down from the sky\*

OWW..

Note to self... AAAuGH.. Never jump down from the top of..

Nevertheless.. I'm here..

Voppi: Heh... That happened to me too when I discovered this place for the first time...

Arya: I can confirm. I was there to see it, and I recorded it whole.

Voppi: WHAT?! You did?!

Arya: Why are you surprised? You are aware of who I am connected to, correct?

Voppi: Yeah, but... I didn't see you anywhere when I...

Arya: Because I was fixing one of the terminals. I had to reset it completely due to some technical issues.

Voppi: OHHH, so it was the terminal itself that got disconnected from your reach and that's why, when I entered, O.R.C.A. got access to it again? OH MY GOD THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE

CaleBoi25: Wait can we go back to that MASSIVE LORE DROP?!? Arya your *mom* founded an entire site?! I miss her and I am like a thousand years late to meet her!

ArtisticAspect: Yeah, we need to time travel. She seems so interesting!

CaleBoi25: Wait… time travel you say? Arya what about a Meepfest featuring past present and future?

Voppi: OH my gosh YES! Arya, you gotta make a Meepfest about that! And maybe... Maybe we can build an ACTUAL time machine, and the team that wins can decide when we go first!

Arya: A Meepfest that decides what time we get to experience when testing a new invention out? That... is brilliant. I would need more time to process the Meepfest data, especially because I need the materials to create the machine, but if you all help O.R.C.A. and I, I believe we could make the first prototype, along with the Meepfest, by the end of the month.

Voppi: YESSSS! Oh my gosh, thank you thank you thank you! You know what this means, right? WE GET TO WORK IN THE HRL FOR NEARLY A MONTH! As if we were part of the Alternan society!!!

Arya: Do not get too excited, we still have another project that we need to finish before we get to this, remember? The restoration of Site 6. And when we do start, you cannot tell anyone the real motive of this Fest. As with the Alterna Logs, this information cannot be known by anyone other than us.

Voppi: Should we consider this a warning?

Arya: ...Yes. Well then, let's get to work, Meep Team. And have a nice day!

Voppi: ...SHE SAID THE THING!!! AAAAAAA

RealDudez: OH MY GO-

CaleBoi25: She said it!
