Question

“Getting here was much easier than usual,” Jaylen said, “but this is where my character always loses—there are just too many robots!”

“Maybe there’s another way to get to the next level,” said Aren.

“Like what?” Jaylen asked.

“Well, the objectives said the signposts give you clues.”

Devin rolled his eyes. “This sign just says ‘Flee is the key.’ That doesn’t help!”

“Maybe that means we should turn around and try the other path instead of fighting,” Aren said.

“It’s worth a try,” said Jaylen, and Devin and Dahlia shrugged, not completely convinced he was right.

When they reached the end of the second path, they discovered a big glowing gold key that transported them to the next level.

“Aren, you were right!” Dahlia said. “We’re on the space station now!”
