As Wrewdison looks around the chamber, he hears a faint whisper coming from the eastern wall. He notices a crack in the stone that seems out of place. The wooden crate in the corner draws his attention as well.

As Zeb approaches the cargo loader, he notices that it's heavily damaged from the kaiju attack, but there is still some functionality. Zeb manages to activate the cargo loader and starts digging through the rubble, moving large chunks of concrete and metal out of the way to clear a path. As Truffle watches, she notices a small group of shock worms emerging from a crack in the wall, attracted by the noise and vibrations caused by the cargo loader. The shock worms are small, electrically charged creatures about the size of a human finger. Next, Zeb finds a strange device that he has never seen before while digging through the rubble. It seems to have some buttons on it, but the purpose of the device is unclear.

Zeb takes a sip of the chartreuse that Ratz slid over earlier and expressions of pleasure spreads across his face. The flavor is a mix of sweet and sour and the liquid goes down warm and soothing. Zeb feels a sudden surge of energy and excitement, the kind that makes him think he could take on any challenge.

Crystal shouts again into the empty space where Ben's hologram had been, "Ben Brown, if you're still listening, we could use your help fixing the Vending Machine and seeing what we just did to that scorpion!" As she speaks, she replaces her necklace around her neck, feeling a bit more protected even though the creature has been defeated.

As Ben Brown is not responding, the players have to take matters into their own hands. Zeb, who had been standing ready with his mohawk reinforced with copper wiring, takes a step forward and addresses the scorpion creature. "I dare you to come closer, you oversized crustacean!" he shouts. The creature responds by flexing its pincers menacingly, but it seems to be somewhat confused by the sudden appearance of so many humans.

Crystal turns to the empty space where the hologram of Ben Brown was standing and shouts, "Ben, we need your help! The vending machine isn't working properly, and there's a giant scorpion attacking us!" She hopes that Ben will hear her plea and be able to return to help them.

Crystal enters the forest and begins her search for the missing part. As she wanders through the trees, she notices a glint of gold in the distance. Curious, she walks towards it and finds a small, locked chest. She remembers that there was a mention of a secret key to this chest hidden in the forest. Scanning the area, she spots a trail that leads deeper into the forest. She decides to follow the trail in hopes of finding the key and the missing part she needs to fix her necklace.

The vending machine is close by. Crystal walks over to it, and sees a list of food options on the machine's display. She decides to request a veggie burger, and in response, the machine lights up and after a few beeps a veggie burger pops out from the vending slot. Crystal grabs the burger and takes a bite, enjoying the taste.
