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.

That's...


That could be a problem.


We're not stuck on anything. We're just out in space. Floating.

Also there may be a slightly smaller problem than what we're facing now.

Conventional methods generally don't work. I can't get a good read on if there's anyone inside either.

Fuck piss bugger arseholes, this is Tosh over again. Without the torture, which is a nice change.

There's shafts but none of 'em went near the engine room last time. They shift, anyway. We might 'ave to blow the door off. Anyone seen Babs?

It looks less like a malfunction than a deliberate act.
