Project 5B: Let's Build a Train

Incoming communication from the watchtower!

We have vodyanoy making landfall and building a sluice near section 7-B!

Let's take the train to head out and drive them back!

They say some of the Con that failed to escape are being eaten, too. You three, come with us!

Waha. We get to ride that?

I'm super-duper ready!

Hehehe, impatient to get going, huh? I don't blame you.

Just leave it to me. I've been looking forward to this day for some time, myself.

Now, let's hurry over to the main station! Everything's ready for our departure!

？！

Huh, not bad. And it seems my fan likes it, too.

Indeed. I thought this would be more like a minecart than a real train, but I am happy to be wrong.

Impressive, Shīzitóu (translation: lionhead)!

Unfortunately, this is the only car I have for now.

Though eventually, I hope to upgrade it to a transcontinental railroad.

Anyway, please, make yourselves comfortable.

This is kind of nerve-racking...

(Keeping a careful eye on their surroundings)

Everyone sitting down? Then let's get our maiden voyage underway.

...Electrical output is stable, power supply is looking good, and rail monitors are all green!

Power on! Engaging direct current motor!

Aaall aboaaard!

Oh wow, it's really moving. Even though no one is pushing or pulling it.

These train things are amazing! Come on, Nhị, relax. There's nothing to worry about.

We're all right here with you. It's perfectly safe.

Even the Con are loving this ride.

Y-yeah. I know.

I think I was given knowledge of these things when I was summoned...but I've still never ridden one before.

The only kind of ride we've had so far is an elephant, right?

This train thing is so much faster, it's hard for me to get used to it...

？！

？！

...Why an orange?

？！

So you don't even know why yourself? That's weird.

But, okay...I guess I'll try one. Thanks.

Here, Sister, we can share it. ...Mmm, that's sweet.

Sadly, the faster the train ride, the sooner the fun comes to an end...

Not even my peerless genius can do anything about that.

On which note...we're here!

Please watch your step as you exit the vehicle, and don't forget to collect your belongings!

This was great, Edison! Your train got them there in no time!

Let's see...

Oh! Over there, by that river! I see vodyanoys building a sluice!

First we break the sluice, then we break them!

That's perfect. Even a half-built sluice might be making them stronger.

Keh heh heh! Did you really think you could get working at such a leisurely pace with me around!?

She who strikes first wins! Now, crush them!
