Because sometimes you have to get out of a bad situation, and sometimes that means finding things that don't want to be found.
Disaster mechicans often leave behind subtle clues that are easily overlooked. Look for repeating patterns in the environment, like scratches on the wall or a faint smell in the air.
Sometimes the best way to find a hidden object is to follow the trail of crumbs, or other small items left behind. It's like following breadcrumbs, but, you know, for hidden objects.
Don't rely solely on your eyes, use your ears! Listen for strange noises, like the sound of a hidden panel sliding open, or the rustling of fabric.
Smell is an underrated sense for hidden object hunting. Look for strange or unusual smells that might indicate the presence of a hidden object.
Disaster mechicans are experts at thinking outside the box. Think like one, and you'll be surprised at what you can find.
