"Nope, this doesn't work as well."
Melissa ruffled her hair and tossed a test tube into a nearby bin before shifting her focus to a test tube rack that contained five additional test tubes that were arranged in an orderly fashion.
As she carefully examined each test tube, she leaned her body forward and strained her eyes in order to see more clearly.
"...Looks like these ones are also failures."
Melissa observed the test tubes for five minutes before shaking her head in disappointment.
Her body then slumped down on the chair behind her as she rolled across the floor. Tucking her chin under her hand she mused.
'I am lacking something. Even after experimenting with the new herbs that grow on this planet, I am still unable to locate the herb with the desired properties.'
Melissa was the only person who remained in the castle while the others went to the treasuries of this planet and looted everything there was to loot.
