Good thinking! I bet you're right... They would stash their secrets in one of their trains! They must not have thought we'd get this far. But they didn't count on how awesome we are! [With that, he raises his free hand for a high-five, and then he turns his attention back towards the trains.]
Right. I don't see how super old stuff can help us with weird stuff that's more modern and futuristic... I guess it's just something to keep in mind! We'll figure it out, probably.

[ She gives him a thumbs up back before adjusting her flashlight in her hands. ]
Are you ready to keep going?
no subject
Right... Let's keep this journey rolling!
no subject
[ And off they go! It doesn't take long before they reach the abandoned cars, and Kaede motions up ahead. ]
It looks like there's something up there.
no subject
Yo, for real! Looks like we found our runaway trains. [Although each of them looks like they've seen better days.]
no subject
Should we look through them? Maybe there's a clue to getting rid of that dome in one of them.
no subject
Good thinking! I bet you're right... They would stash their secrets in one of their trains! They must not have thought we'd get this far. But they didn't count on how awesome we are! [With that, he raises his free hand for a high-five, and then he turns his attention back towards the trains.]
Okay, now where to start...?
no subject
How about this one? [ It's the one closest to them, and as Kaede walks closer she notices that it's filled with luggage. ]
...I wonder what happened here.
no subject
I dunno. Did a bunch of people miss their train? [He offers a helpless shrug as he checks out some of the luggage.]
no subject
[ She picks up a newspaper off the ground and flips through it. ]
Wow... this is really old.
no subject
Man, you're not kidding! Talk about old school! Does that mean these trains have been here that long...?
no subject
That's what I'm wondering... That has to be it, right? Unless someone dumped all this stuff in the car. [ Which doesn't sound likely but who knows. ]
no subject
Hey, I wouldn't put it past Retrospec. I don't know what else it could be, though. Unless we traveled through time!
no subject
[ And impossible, but she really has no idea if anything is impossible anymore. ]
You've had the app longer than me, right? Do you think it's possible...
no subject
[He pauses thoughtfully. He does know someone who can travel through time now, but he'd rather not spook her.]
Well. It might be possible, but I haven't seen Retrospec use it at all so far. [He offers a weak smile.] So, we might be safe?
no subject
[ She frowns. ] I guess time travel isn't as bad compared to other things they could do.
no subject
And it's true that it's not so bad. As long as we don't, like, change history or anything.
no subject
[ Okay, she's getting ahead of herself here! ] Anyway, it's still pretty weird how everything's so old. I wonder if that's a clue to something.
no subject
But it sounds like it's time to put on their thinking caps! So he does.]
Yeah! Maybe that's what it is. A clue that... that something happened here a long, long time ago?
no subject
[ She sighs. ] I guess a clue doesn't mean anything unless you can piece it together with something else.
no subject
Right. I don't see how super old stuff can help us with weird stuff that's more modern and futuristic... I guess it's just something to keep in mind! We'll figure it out, probably.
no subject
We will! A lot of others have probably found similar clues too. We're bound to figure something out.
no subject
[With that, he starts to do a small but goofy victory dance to acknowledge this.]
no subject
You look like you just scored a touchdown!
no subject
We kinda did! A touchdown of... optimism, I guess!
