One bright and early Sunday morning, about 10:30am, Helena was laying on her bed, browsing on her phone, completely bored. She then heard a couple of knocks on her door, "Yeah?" Helena answered without looking away from the screen. "Hey sweetie, it's dad. Your mother and I need to run to work for the day, one of the researchers wasn't able to come in so we are going in to catch up. We'll be back in time for dinner so please watch your sister and the house, okay?" Helena puts her phone down, sighs quietly, and sits upright, "Got it. Have fun guys." Her dad responds, "Thank you, you as well!" She hears footsteps leaving the front of her door, then going down the stairs. "Ready dear?" her mom said, "Just about!" Helena heard the front door open then close, no other sound afterwards. "Ughh, now I'm get to be bored and watch Vonnah too, freaking great!" she said with a sarcastic tone. She stood up and walked to her door when a strange thought entered her mind. "Wait," Helena thought, "I think Vonnah is still sleeping in and since Mom and Dad are gone, maybe it's time to check out the basement for once"
Helena has always been curious of what they been working on at home but either they were working down there or they kept it locked. It's not like she wasn't interested in their work, it's more like she wants to do things her own way, without showing she does. She opens her door stealthily, trying not to cause her sister to wake up, and walks to the stairs. Being a very tall, stacked teenager, she can only be so quiet going down the staircase. Luckily, she made it down without any incident and went toward the basement door. She reaches for the handle, "Watch as it's locked anyways," but the door opened, much to Helena's suprise. She then thought, "Well, they did kinda leave in a hurry so maybe they forgot. Might as well check it out."
She proceeds to go into the basement, finding that it was actually quite spacious with lots of beakers of different sizes, various gadgets and the such on long tables. On one side of the room was a large device as big as a refrigerator, it looked like a big ray gun like something from a scfi movie. She walked closer to the tables to inspect what was there; there was a unmarked bottle of what appears to be lotion, a glass flask of bright green liquid with a slight fruity aroma, and a tv remote with a few buttons and knobs. Helena was thinking of checking out the lotion and the flask, the remote crossed her mind as well as the device across the room.
What shall she take a look at first?
