[Public to the (Waking) Barge]
[Duke stands on Level 8, looking uncharacteristically frustrated. In his right hand is a crowbar lifted from his own cabin, which also showed no signs of waking life, and behind him is the door to the engine room, firmly closed.]

So, what do we do when the engine room door is sealed? Not locked. It's sealed, I can't pry it open. Does anyone have a blowtorch or a Sawzall? Or is Na- [No, that's a stupid idea.]

Look, are there any other ways to get into the engine room? A utility shaft or something? The more I look at it the more this seems like a malfunction, and I think if we don't get in there the rest of the Barge might not wake up.

Good idea, I'll check there first.

Any ideas on how to wake the others up?

[deadly_ned]

Shaking? Loud noises? Shock therapy?

I'm usually not the sort of person who wakes other people up.

[hearrrtofgold]

And unfortunately my normal method involves bacon and waffles.

[deadly_ned]

Do you think I should go make bacon and waffles?

[hearrrtofgold]

It couldn't hurt, but there's probably something more effective we should be focusing on.

Don't ask me what it is.

[deadly_ned]

I don't know either. I don't even know where to start fixing this. I'm not much of a ship....person.
