Scaling the old, filled-up storeroom that Bloo had dubbed "the room where we keep the shady DPIP stuff" or "The DPIP room" room, Scale was knocking around some boxes, digging around the suspicious stuff Bloo was too afraid to really touch while Matter stood at the door, keeping watch.

 

She had heard about other colonies being sent DPIP supplied along with their researcher, and she *knew* that Porcelain, who had been beeping in distress at the entrance this entire time. Scale looked up as the small robot made another beep, this one slightly different in tone, and squinted little at the beeping robot before huffing and continuing her search.

 

"Do you think something is wrong?" Matter said, glancing at the beeping little robot. Scale rolled her eyes a little "I'm sure it's fine."

 

As young as Scale was, she knew damn well that the medical situation in this colony- was horrible. Every time someone got hurt, they had to trek over to one of the nearby colonies, and bribe them to supply medical help, and honestly- it made Scale quite salty that she was seen as "too young" to provide medical help to others. She had asked Bloo to allow her to train to be a physician, but each time he had denied, saying she was still too little.

 

Matter sighed "What're you looking for anyways?" she said, trying to make her way into the pile of boxes too, trying he best not to knock anything over. Scale poked her head out again "I thought you were keeping watch? Ugh, whatever." diving back in she explained what she was looking for.

 

Matter frowned, but still squeezed herself into the pile of boxes anyways, Porcelain still beeping in the background. The loud beeps, along with the sounds of rummaging, did mean the two couldn't hear Bloo approaching.

 

"What... Is the meaning of this." Bloo said, pushing past Porcelain, who had now stopped beeping at the door to the room. Scale instantly fell off of her stack of boxes; which she had carefully arranged into a staircase to reach the boxes that were stacked higher than the others.

 

From the ground, she looked up at Bloo with, what she hoped was, an innocent look on her face. "I was just ah- looking for something, Bloo." she blinked up at him "me and Matter have got it, you can leave now."

 

Bloo raised his eyebrow "You're not allowed in here, Scale, and you know that," he sighed "What were you looking for anyways." Scale frowned. She supposed that a change of strategies was needed. Maybe the truth would be best... "I was looking for DPIP medical supplies. I know we have them in here somewhere, and you guys keep getting hurt... Finn only knows a little bit, and I figured some *actual* supplied that aren't just- herbs or whatever would maybe help us." Matter sat behind her, having crawled out of her hidey hole, nodding along.

 

Bloo sighed. "You know what? If you want to so bad, you can mess around with some of them a bit. Maybe you'll learn something from them, I suppose." Bloo walked over, and started grabbing one of he boxes on the bottom of the tallest stack. He glanced at the two "But be careful, okay? No touching anything pointy, and no putting anything in your mouth." The two nodded enthusiastically as Bloo carried the box over, following him into another room where he carefully sorted trough stuff he'd let the two investigate. He supposed he'd have to pull some strings and maybe get the two an actual teacher of some sort.
