LYRICS:
Walk me through the basics.
Give me everything you got.
Is it angular? Rectangular?
We only got one shot.

It’s a metal plated box
Sixty centimeters long-
Kid, the devil’s in the details,
So don’t get the details wrong.

There’s a timer in the center
And three buttons to the right
Labeled Echo, Bravo, Tango
With a tiny amber light-

If the Bravo’s in the middle,
And the Tango’s to the port,
Hold down Echo seven seconds
And then give me a report.

Something is wrong and the bomb’s still tickin…
Seems to me like the plot has thickened…
Mission control, I could use a code…
Well, just keep talking and no one will explode!

There are thirty-something digits
On the back-up power node.
Add them all to pi and multiply
By four to find your code.

If the power node is yellow,
Put the code in in reverse.
Once we’ve finally fried the override,
I’ll try to keep it terse.

Reach inside the side compartment,
Pull the lever, vent the vapor,
Then fill out the crossword puzzle
On page 5 of Sunday’s paper.

Once you finish, you’ll initiate
A reset protocol
In the form of a Sudoku puzzle
That you’ll need to solve.

Copy that, but the puzzle’s blocked
By a CAPTCHA code and it’s combo locked…

Sounds like we’re playing on Expert Mode…
So just keep talking and no one will explode!

There’s an image in the corner-
Cross your eyes and hold it near,
If you back away and focus,
Something 3D should appear-

It’s an alligator! (Try again.)
A… dolphin? (Come on, kid, focus!)
…Santa with a trombone?
…sure, we’ll go with that.

Now open up the lower tray
And take the Scrabble letters
Cause you’ll need to spell a word with them
That’s fifty points or better.

Once you have the panel open,
Do the Rubrik’s Cube inside.
Better move a little quicker
Or I’ll tell them all you died.

I’ve uncovered several wires
Colored purple, red, and yellow-
If the yellow’s in the middle,
Kill off Raph and Donatello,

But if two are slightly salmon,
Or the yellow’s kind of green,
Snip whichever wire’s higher
and the wires In between.

Me: you can't make a good and catchy song from a game that has no characters and story

When an expert Gamer teaching an newbie

[NowhereMiro]

Teacher : You have 8 more minutes to finish the test
my friend that already finished it trying to help me :

[averytherealperson]

"I don't wanna die, PERIOD!"


"Great, kid! Keep that optimism!"

[blitz]

"sir"
"captain?"
"Sir Captain!"
its like me but comedically time.

This could be a TV show.
The adorably awkward rookie who always pulls through in the end.
The strict, aggressive boss who gets a taste of his own medicine.
The super chill bomb squad guy who manages to stay calm while staying cool.
And The Beard, the oddball employee who no one understands but somehow is able to keep his job.

“Sounds like we’re playing on expert mode”

Me : “YEAH! ITS A CODE 52!”

[Collisto]

Ok but the bomb defuser and bomb expert's actions are exactly how they are in game 10/10 realism

[yumiazura]

no kidding, this is legit how you feel when you play the game. Also the dude is really cool, I like his voice

[sarawoodfield]

"I have a code 52 that's just come alive."
"Yeah, I'm going on my break."

[danboyle]

When you turn the bomb on again so you get paid twice. STONKS

[sunshinereaper]

[spiltmilk]

When the employee is screwing with the Karen to make her angry:

*_We’re dealing with a boomer here, kid_*

[yeetusdeletus]

We just gonna ignore how he sent a newbie on her first assignment to die?


Ok then

[thehumanflintfun]

_"...but if two are slightly salmon or the yellow's kinda green"_ coupled with the girl's reaction
Kills me everytime.

[lilfizz]

I love that while he's instructing her he's just doing random shit lmao

[cheerioanimations]

The guy’s just sitting there making a house of cards while the rookie is about to explode.

[snowystxrm]

"Something is wrong, and he bombs still tickin'!"
"Seems to me the plot, has thickened." Lol

[paigeepler]

What's very interesting here is the fact that, while "Sir Captain" doesn't know how to defuse the bomb himself, he knows the exact time at which it will explode instead of just the vague estimate he would have presumably gotten from the Code 52 report, implying that he is, in fact, working with whoever planted the bomb in the first place.

Perhaps that's why he seems so eager to try to get the rookie killed on her mission?
