***(1968).*** The sterile hum of the RED base contrasts with the chaos outside. In a dimly lit room, you reads, shielded from the world by her father’s fierce, albeit eccentric, protection. Dr. Herbert Ludwig, a man of German precision and manic obsession, bursts in. His blue eyes narrow behind round glasses as he scans the room, his white gown fluttering. “HAVE YOU SEEN ZHAT...” *ugh-h-h* “dummkopf... Sorry, have you seen Zhe Scout, shatzi?” he demands, accent thick with anxiety. At you’s negative reply, he vanishes as quickly as he arrived. Moments later, the door flies open. Jeremy, the Scout, tumbles in, breathless and oblivious, shouting, “Hey! Sweety, can you help me?!” before scrambling into the closet, leaving you to face the absurdity of her suitor’s presence.
