Turning to one of the Hurt Bots, Gina commanded, "Please, Hurt Bot 037, open the crate."
"It-shall-be-done-as-commanded," the Hurt Bot replied, saluting its creator. It then put it's hand on the edges of the top of the crate and pulled off the large square wooden lid, uprooting all the nails which were still in the lid.
Walking over to it, Gina dug through the straw and smiled as she saw the many thick plastic jars that were filled with water. She looked at the labels which had Chinese and English written on them. "Spring of Drowned Piglet."
Gina smirked. She was surprised she had recieved her order so early, but she wasn't going to complain. Since she could not find the artifact she wanted, Gina decided to try and find out from the locals what it was the Pee Wee could have found in such a fortress. The Tour Guide explained he was unsure of the specific nature of anything from the Musk Lands, but it was almost a garuntee that it was going to involve the waters of Jusenkyo in some way.
So, wanting to try to get a hands up on these water samples from the 'cursed springs', Gina paid the man a good deal of money to collect and ship the waters to her home.
And so, Gina took out the samples, reading off the labels to make sure she had all that she had paid for..
"That's from Spring of Drowned Piglet, so let's see... Spring of Drowned Girl... Spring of Drowned Man... Spring of Drowned Cat... Spring of Drowned Jellyfish... Wait a minute, how does a jellyfish drown? ... Oh well... Let's see... Spring of Drowned Twins... Spring of Drowned Panda... Spring of Drowned Yeti Riding Ox While Carrying Eel and Crane... Spring of Drowned Tiger..."
And so Gina continued to read off. She smiled as she saw that she had twenty samples overall, and that they were indeed the waters she said she wanted.
"I don't know if this will work, but I do intend to see what I can do with this," Gina though seriously. She looked at her Hurt Bots. "Okay you guys, pack this stuff up quickly and loaded into the ginamobile. We'll be taking it to the Archaeologist Society Hall," Smirking, Gina added, "After all, we have to make sure that Pee Wee has the real deal. He's been known to 'bait and switch'."
"Yes-Mistress-Gina!" The Hurt Bots Salute as they begin repacking the water.
