Shrunken women board

Upon closer observation, chocolate does indeed find a reverse switch.
However, by the looks of things, the energy capsule on the other end has been shattered when it was dropped, and thus, the ray can no longer fire.

I look back at Sai and the secretaries, "Well, I got some good news, and some bad news. Which do you wanna hear first?"

I was a foreign secretary who was hit by a shrinking ray as I passed through the area. Now I was one of the shrunken secretaries who were paying attention to what were say Chocolate

Getting no response, I proceed to show the broken energy capsule. "The bad news is, I think the ray gun broke when it fell, so we probably can't use it. But the good news is it DOES have a reverse switch, so if we can manage to fix it, we can grow you all back! Although we might need that thief guy's help with that..."

Hi Tanja! Welcome to the game! Given the nature of this plant, a foreign secretary could be an intern with all sorts of other skills.
Sai would likely know you.

Sai looks at the capsule to see if it was anything she'd have. "Tie a power cord around his neck in case he grows back." Sai asks of Chocolate. Then search him to see if he has another capsule." Then turning to Tanja. "Is anyone missing? Double shrunk?"

"I was about to be hit a second time, but it seems that I dodged in time out of reflex".

"We don't know what a second shot from the gun would do, and I wouldn't trust a 'reverse' button not to do something unexpected like shoot at the wielder."

Don't waste your time, I don't ever carry two energy capsules on me. If one explodes, it would trigger a reaction that would likely kill me. What are you going to do now? Turn me in?

"No. We are going to experiment with getting the gun working, and use you as the test subject to see what happens."

"And I'm going to be part of this, too, aren't I?"

"Yes, we all need you my friend. My name is Sai, by the way."

"In that case, call me Chocolate. Don't ask why, it's kinda embarrassing..."

"Well, that's unfortunate. But you appear to have forgotten one thing..."

I instinctively tackle Quick to the ground, just in case.

Sai jumps out of Chocolate's pocket while he does that.

"Haha, you fools, you're just giving me cover. Anyway, you didn't let me finish. What I was going to say was:

Why on earth would I come here alone?"

Suddenly, the ceiling explodes, and rubble starts falling on top of everyone. A rope dangles down and I grab hold of it before a helicopter takes me away.

"So long!"

I climb into the helicopter as it glows a bright blue before disappearing.

I managed to hide for a few moments while the rubble was falling so that I was safe.

This describes a too long a period of time without others being able to do anything. You could get as far as the rope dangling and you trying to grab it with your mouth, or something. But you'd need some description as to how you are planning to get out from under Chocolate and the rubble. Did Chocolate actually tie you up like I asked?

Sai screams and jumps back under Chocolate, which places her between him and Quick.

(Oh, this is what I get for losing power...)

A piece of rubble hits Chocolate square in the head, knocking him out cold.

Apologies, I got ahead of myself there, we'll go with the ceiling exploding and a rope dropping down. We'll say there's a power cord around my neck, since chocolate tied me up.

With a bit of effort, I shove chocolate off me, struggling with the ropes around my wrists and neck.

Sai nearly panics, realizing that Chocolate is out. Knowing she has to do SOMETHING, she waits until Quick has rolled in the other direction, and then jumps on his back, hoping to hide in whatever he has there.

After getting the cables off, I leapt onto the rope, "So long!" I yell, unaware of the tiny stowaway that barely managed to get herself into my back pocket. Then, with a whirr of an engine, the helicopter disappears in a flash of blue light

Sai realizes she did NOT think this through. At the first opportunity, she leaps off of Quick's back and hides under the seats.

I lay on the ground for at least an hour, before coming to with a headache that was trying to kill me. "Wuh... what happen?"
