The dawn of the final days of this mystery is upon the residents of Terrah… Angel is currently mid-livestream reacting to the news of Lydia shedding light on the situation. Tabask watches it alone from his own home “Oh wonderful... My hours of investigative journaling has just all been for naught…” he hoists a mug of coffee into the air sarcastically celebrating his contribution. After a couple hours of feigning having a neutral side in Lydia's approach to the matter to her audience, Angel makes a realization… Lydia still has her very expensive mobile and waterproof Bluetooth camera! Angel decides that she’s going to confront Lydia to get her gear back and attempt to sweet talk her way into getting a special promotional selfie for her online brand. Angel, of course, picks up Tabask to help out against his will and to to seem less conspicuous and Tabask, of course, thinks this is a horrible idea but he's getting paid by the hour which lessens his judgment. Angel and Tabask now approach the same stretch of land they once stalked around in during the twilight hours, Tabask was thinking to himself about how it all felt so… peaceful now… Until Angel began swatting and ripping at the alien plants again with her claws which attracted a small swarm of insects. Tabask felt his stomach twist in disgust and anger but kept a cool face as he followed begrudgingly behind her in a swarm of stink. Once making it back to the clearing, they found dozens of other terraliens there and were taken aback! Tents, equipment, gadgets, and building materials either laid idly on the ground or were being hurriedly rushed around by others who were busy at work repairing the fallen satellite. Soon, they deduced who Lydia actually was amongst the crowd and were able to approach her. “Hiii~ I'm Angel~!” Angel said, putting on her internet persona instantly “You're Lydia! Finally I get the chance to say hi! Busy out here, huh?” Lydia laughs to herself “Yes! I'm very happy to see so many interested in helping me!” “May I ask if I can take a selfie with you bestie~?” Angel says with fake excitement “Of course!” They pose in front of the satellite and take a couple of photos, trying out a couple angles and lighting. Tabask is forced to hold up a silver sheet to illuminate them better during this time. “Would you be so inclined as to assist me with some of the repairs?” Lydia asks, kindly “Oh my gosh~ Of course I would! But only if I get to ask you some questions while we work!” Angel chimes in “Sure! I don't see why no–” “Sister sister!” a small terralien rounds the corner of the satellite and jumps onto Lydia's leg “Oh dear Junior, not now… I'm trying to work-! I’m sorry…” Lydia sighs “Awwh~! Don't you worry about a thing~!” Angel turns to Tabask, who is calmly observing the work activities, before being yanked back and into the conversation by Angel “My friend here loves to babysit~! I'm sure he wouldn't mind looking after the lil guy~!” “Oh are you sure…?” Lydia asks and in response, Angel tightens her grasp on Tabasks arm until it begins to hurt. Tabask lowers his head and puffs out another sigh… “Not a problem at all ma’am! I'll make sure the lil stinker behaves around here!” Tabask makes a small salute gesture “Oh wonderful! Thank you so much!” Lydia exclaims. Tabask leads Junior away, asking them if they like peppers, as Angel pulls Lydia aside and begins to walk with her… “So do tell me more about this missing item situation~ I'm so curious!”
