Story Transcript:

Et: Kalev astus ettevaatlikult külma, hämarasse punkrisse.
En: Kalev stepped cautiously into the cold, dim bunker.

Et: Miks oli punkrisse üles riputatud "Palju Õnne Sünnipäevaks" sildid?
En: Why were "Happy Birthday" banners hung up in the bunker?

Et: Tal olid igatahes Maarika kingitus ja üllatusmüts käes.
En: In any case, he had Maarika's present and a surprise hat in hand.

Et: Rasked metalluksed sulgusid tema järel.
En: The heavy metal doors closed behind him.

Et: "Noh, siin me oleme!"
En: "Well, here we are!"

Et: pomises Kalev endamisi.
En: Kalev muttered to himself.

Et: Punkris olid suured lauad täis keerulisi vidinaid.
En: The bunker had large tables full of complex gadgets.

Et: Paksemad härrad jopes ja kõrge arvutiekraanid sädelevad sünge valguse all.
En: Stout gentlemen in jackets and tall computer screens sparkled under the somber light.

Et: Kalev naeratas laialt, astudes keskele.
En: Kalev smiled broadly, stepping into the center.

Et: "Kas mu üllatus on natuke liiga mässuline, või mis?"
En: "Is my surprise a bit too rebellious, or what?"

Et: ütles ta ja naeratas jälle.
En: he said, smiling again.

Et: Jopega mees, kel silt nimega Toomas, vaatas Kalevit kahtlustavalt.
En: A man in a jacket, with a tag named Toomas, looked at Kalev suspiciously.

Et: "Meil on tõsine missioon," ütles Toomas.
En: "We have a serious mission," said Toomas.

Et: Kalev muigas, viipates sünnipäeva siltidele.
En: Kalev grinned, gesturing at the birthday banners.

Et: "Teil on ka tõsine pidu," naljatas Kalev silmanähtavalt.
En: "You also have a serious party," Kalev joked visibly.

Et: Maarika polnud veel saabunud.
En: Maarika hadn't arrived yet.

Et: Kalev taipas, et peab vaatama, kuidas ta selle peoks muudab.
En: Kalev realized he needed to see how to turn this into a party.

Et: Ta naeratas laiemalt, "Ärme unusta lõbu, eks?"
En: He smiled more widely, "Let's not forget the fun, right?"

Et: viskas ta käega rõõmsalt.
En: he said cheerfully with a wave.

Et: Toomas sosistas teistele meestele, kes ei mõistnud, miks Kalev selline, aga nad vajasid abi.
En: Toomas whispered to the other men, who didn't understand why Kalev was like that, but they needed help.

Et: Miski moodi tundus Kalev nende koodikirjutaja arvutisse sisse logivat, kui ta lihtsalt nalja tegi.
En: Somehow it seemed Kalev was logging into their code-writer's computer as he was joking around.

Et: Kalevi sõrmed jooksid klaviatuuril.
En: Kalev's fingers ran across the keyboard.

Et: "Kas see on mäng?"
En: "Is this a game?"

Et: küsis ta muiates ja trükkis need, mida nägi.
En: he asked, smirking and typing what he saw.

Et: Järsku ekraanid sähvatasid ja häire kostis läbi punkri.
En: Suddenly the screens flashed and an alarm sounded through the bunker.

Et: Toomas ja tema meeskond tardusid.
En: Toomas and his team froze.

Et: "See... on lahendus!"
En: "This... is the solution!"

Et: hüüatas Toomas, vaadates hämmeldunult Kalevit.
En: exclaimed Toomas, looking at Kalev in astonishment.

Et: Kalev muigas uhkelt.
En: Kalev smirked proudly.

Et: Sisse astus Maarika, kes nähes kogu olukorda puhkes naerma.
En: Maarika entered, who upon seeing the whole situation burst out laughing.
