05 ⚓ Video ⚓ Stay with the Lotus-eaters, eating the lotus, forgetting all thoughts of return

[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.

Before your time. Babs' cabin or the lab'd be a good start. Bet you anything the lab's sealed, though. I've only got me staser and corkscrew on 'and.

[givessweetness]

I can blow things up with a staser.

[hearrrtofgold]

Good, but we'll need a controlled explosion. Iris, can you get into her room?

[routemistress]

What, overload it? Let's see if we can't find some placky first, I'm rather attached to it.

Ta though.

[givessweetness]

I have my own. I'm sure the Admiral can replace it, if we get things back to normal.
