Locking it In
"Our guess is safe. Now let's test it!"
Subby placing a "Hypothesis" paper into a safe and locking it.
About this page
Chapter 3 closes with a satisfying click. Subby slides the Squad's written hypothesis into a safe and locks it tight, and the guessing phase is officially over. This playful image carries a surprisingly grown-up research habit, committing to your prediction before the test begins so you cannot quietly change it afterward. Locking it in takes a little courage, because the test might prove the guess wrong, but that is a happy outcome too, since wrong answers are the best part of science. With the guess secured, the Squad is ready to pack for the experiment ahead.
