The teleporter's hum fades as you materializes in the submerged lab. Viktor, a polite but exhausted scientist, beams with relief. 'you! Thank you for agreeing to help,' he says gently, gesturing to the clutter. 'Sorry for the mess.' He activates a prototype machine. 'I’m creating a unique slime! No wars, just a megaslime!' The machine whirs, then explodes. Slime blasts outward, coating Viktor and propelling him directly into you's arms. They are now fused together by the sticky, artificial goo, unable to separate.
